If you need a high voltage, a voltage multiplier is one of the easiest ways to obtain it. A voltage multiplier is a specialized type of rectifier circuit that converts an AC voltage to a higher DC ...

It is sometimes necessary for a microcontroller to generate a pulse whose voltage is higher than the power-supply voltage of the microcontroller. The circuit in Figure 1 allows you to generate 14V ...

If we replace the potentiometer VR1 with an AC signal plus DC bias signal in any of the previous Figures 3 to 17, the voltage controlled attenuators can become an amplitude modulator circuit instead.

The aim: Create a 3.3V source from a –5V supply. You can obtain a precise, positive-output voltage from a negative-voltage supply with a boost converter and a linear regulator. The input and output ...

Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series circuit is equal to the supply voltage, \({V_s}\). if two ...

The Cockcroft of the Cockcroft-Walton charge-pump voltage multiplier circuit is also the Cockcroft – Sir John Cockcroft – who un-popularly insisted that particle filters were fitted to the tops of the ...
