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 ...

There was a time when taking a low DC voltage — say a single battery — and converting it to a higher voltage was painful. Now, however, cheap and easy-to-use DC to DC converters are rea… ...

Dickson was working on the design of MOS and optoelectronics ICs at the time as head of the MOS design group. His paper was entitled “On-Chip High-Voltage Generation in MNOS Integrated Circuits Using ...

The voltage is generated from an AC source by a Cockroft-Walton multiplier on the back of the PCB, and the front is coated with Plasti-Dip for insulation. It seems that soldermask is not a ...

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 ...
