For cases like that, it is tempting to use some voltage multiplication scheme. There are many, but for this post, I’m going to take you inside a Dickson ... for a multiplier and they’ll ...

Figure 3 Dickson charge pumps use diodes and MOS-connected diodes. The Dickson charge pump in Fig. 3a is very similar to the Greinacher doubler. A DC voltage is applied at Vin to diode D1’s anode. The ...

Dickson voltage multiplier for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting, shown in Fig.1-a, is simple and has an improved performance compared to other existing topologies (for energy harvesting). The ...

The voltage doubler described in this Design Idea is a modification of the Dickson charge pump. Unlike that circuit, it needs no DC input voltage, but only a digital clock whose peak value is ideally ...
