DC-DC Voltage Doubler (simplest Possible Circuit)

DC Voltage Doubler Circuit Using 555 Timer IC

Voltage-doubler circuit. Consider the circuit of Figure P10.73. The capacitors are very large, so they discharge only a very small amount per cycle. (Thus, no ac voltage appears across the capacitors, and the ac input plus the de voltage of C1 must appear at point A.) Sketch the voltage at point A versus time. Find the voltage across the load. Why is this called a voltage doubler? What is the peak inverse voltage across each diode? | Numerade
