AC 101: Voltage Doublers & Voltage Multipliers

(1/1)

Lazarus:
this is a half wave voltage doubler,

if you want the polarity to be reversed, all you gotta do is turn the diodes around in the opposite direction, then the output will be negative instead of positive, and of coarse if the caps happen to be polarized then they will need to be turned around in the opposite polariry,

other than that, i think the animated graphic pretty much says it all, it updates every 2 seconds,



Note: i'm only doing this in my spare time, so check back from time to time for updates, i plan to add some scope pics to this when i get time,

up next: full wave voltage doubler,

:)
