While most readers are knowledgeable about voltage doublers, here is a discussion about how to use them in unusual ways to enhance power supply circuits that might be otherwise limited in features.

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

Technology developed for driving synchronous FETs in flyback topologies can be directly applied in LLC topologies. This technology offers significant gains in efficiency for applications with low ...

The input-rectifier stage of anoffline power supply converts anac-line voltage to a dc voltage, whichpowers a dc/dc converter. If you configurethe rectifier section as a full-wavebridge for a ...

An electronic circuit that converts AC to DC and multiplies the source voltage. Using capacitor/diode pairs, the capacitor stores the source voltage like a charge pump, and the diode rectifies it. The ...
