[[image:Voltage Multiplier diagram.PNG|thumb|right|280px|Villard cascade voltage multiplier.]]

A '''voltage multiplier''' is an [[electrical circuit]] that converts AC electrical power from a lower [[voltage]] to a higher DC voltage, typically using a network of [[capacitor]]s and [[diode]]s.

Voltage multipliers can be used to generate a few volts for electronic appliances, to millions of volts for purposes such as high-energy physics experiments and lightning safety testing. The most common type of voltage multiplier is the half-wave series multiplier, also called the Villard cascade (but actually invented by [[Heinrich Greinacher]]).

==Operation==
Assuming that the peak voltage of the AC source is +Us, and that the C values are sufficiently high to allow, when charged, that a current flows with no significant change in voltage, then the (simplified) working of the cascade is as follows:
[[Image:Voltage amplifier explain.png|center|400px]]
# negative peak (−Us): The C1 capacitor is charged through diode D1 to Us [[volt|V]] ([[potential difference]] between left and right plate of the capacitor is Us)
# positive peak (+Us): the potential of C1 adds with that of the source, thus charging C2 to 2Us through D2
# negative peak: potential of C1 drops to 0 V thus allowing C3 to be charged through D3 to 2Us.
# positive peak: potential of C1 rises to 2Us (analogously to step 2), also charging C4 to 2Us. The output voltage (the sum of voltages under C2 and C4) raises till 4Us.

In reality more cycles are required for C4 to reach the full voltage. Each additional stage of two diodes and two capacitors increases the output voltage by twice the peak AC supply voltage.

==Voltage doubler and tripler==
{{see also|Voltage doubler}}

A ''voltage doubler'' uses two stages to approximately double the DC voltage that would have been obtained from a single-stage [[rectifier]]. An example of a voltage doubler is found in the input stage of [[switch mode power supply|switch mode power supplies]] containing a SPDT switch to select either 120 volt or 240 volt supply. In the 120 volt position the input is typically configured as a full-wave voltage doubler by opening one AC connection point of a bridge rectfier, and connecting the input to the junction of two series-connected filter capacitors. For 240 volt operation, the switch configures the system as a full-wave bridge, re-connecting the capacitor center-tap wire to the open AC terminal of a bridge rectfier system. This allows 120 or 240 volt operation with the addition of a simple SPDT switch.

A ''[[voltage tripler]]'' is a three-stage voltage multiplier. A tripler is a popular type of voltage multiplier. The output voltage of a tripler is in practice below three times the peak input voltage due to their high [[Electrical impedance|impedance]], caused in part by the fact that as each [[capacitor]] in the chain supplies power to the next, it partially discharges, losing voltage doing so.

Triplers were commonly used in color television receivers to provide the high voltage for the cathode ray tube (picture tube). Many 1970s TV sets used open triplers, and the individual diode sticks could be replaced if they failed. {{Citation needed|date=November 2011}}

Triplers are still used in [[high voltage]] supplies such as [[copier]]s, [[laser printer]]s, [[bug zapper]]s and [[electroshock weapon]]s.

== Breakdown voltage ==

While the multiplier can be used to produce thousands of volts of output, the individual components do not need to be rated to withstand the entire voltage range. Each component only needs to be concerned with the relative voltage differences directly across its own terminals and of the components immediately adjacent to it.

Typically a voltage multiplier will be physically arranged like a ladder, so that the progressively increasing voltage potential is not given the opportunity to arc across to the much lower potential sections of the circuit.

Note that some safety margin is needed across the relative range of voltage differences in the multiplier, so that the ladder can survive the shorted failure of at least one diode or capacitor component. Otherwise a single-point shorting failure could successively over-voltage and destroy each next component in the multiplier, potentially destroying the entire multiplier chain.

== Other circuit topologies ==
[[File:Full-wave Villard cascade.svg|thumb|400px|left|Two cascades driven by a single center-tapped transformer. This configuration provides full-wave rectification leading to less ripple and upon any collapse from arcing capacitive energy can cancel.]]

;Stacking:
[[File:Full-wave stacked Villard cascade.svg|thumb|400px|left|A second cascade stacked onto the first one driven by a high voltage isolated second secondary winding.

[[File:Stacked Villard cascade.svg|thumb|400px|right|A single secondary winding of a transformer driving two cascades of opposite polarities at the same time. Stacking the two cascades provides an output of twice the voltage but with better ripple and capacitor charging characteristics than would be achieved with a single long cascade of the same voltage.]]
{{clear}}
An even number of diode-capacitor cells is used in any column so that the cascade ends on a smoothing cell. If it were odd and ended on a clamping cell the [[Ripple (electrical)|ripple]] voltage would be very large. Larger capacitors in the connecting column also reduce ripple but at the expense of charging time and increased diode current.

===Dickson charge pump===
[[File:Dickson voltage multiplier.svg|thumb|350px|Standard Dickson charge pump. 4-stage (x5 multiplier)]]
The '''Dickson charge pump''', or '''Dickson multiplier''', is a modification of the [[Cockcroft–Walton generator|Greinacher/Cockcroft–Walton multiplier]]. Unlike that circuit, however, the Dickson multiplier takes a DC supply as its input so is a form of [[DC-to-DC converter]]. Also unlike Greinacher/Cockcroft–Walton which is used on high-voltage applications, the Dickson multiplier is intended for low-voltage purposes. In addition to the DC input, the circuit requires a feed of two [[clock pulse]] trains with an amplitude swinging between the DC supply rails. These pulse trains are in antiphase.<ref>{{Harvnb|Liu|2006|p=226}} {{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|p=14}}</ref>

To describe the ideal operation of the circuit, number the diodes D1, D2 etc. from left to right and the capacitors C1, C2 etc. When the clock <math>\phi_1 \ </math> is low, D1 will charge C1 to ''V''in. When <math>\phi_1 \ </math> goes high the top plate of C1 is pushed up to 2''V''in. D1 is then turned off and D2 turned on and C2 begins to charge to 2''V''in. On the next clock cycle <math>\phi_1 \ </math> again goes low and now <math>\phi_2 \ </math> goes high pushing the top plate of C2 to 3''V''in. D2 switches off and D3 switches on, charging C3 to 3''V''in and so on with charge passing up the chain, hence the name [[charge pump]]. The final diode-capacitor cell in the cascade is connected to ground rather than a clock phase and hence is not a multiplier; it is a [[envelope detector|peak detector]] which merely provides [[Rectifier#Rectifier output smoothing|smoothing]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=226–227}}</ref>

There are a number of factors which reduce the output from the ideal case of ''nV''in. One of these is the threshold voltage, ''V''T of the switching device, that is, the voltage required to turn it on. The output will be reduced by at least ''nV''T due to the volt drops across the switches. [[Schottky diode]]s are commonly used in Dickson multipliers for their low forward voltage drop, amongst other reasons. Another difficulty is that there are [[parasitic capacitance]]s to ground at each node. These parasitic capacitances act as voltage dividers with the circuit's storage capacitors reducing the output voltage still further.<ref>{{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=13–14}} {{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=227–228}}</ref> Up to a point, a higher clock frequency is beneficial: the ripple is reduced and the high frequency makes the remaining ripple easier to filter. Also the size of capacitors needed is reduced since less charge needs to be stored per cycle. However, losses through stray capacitance increase with increasing clock frequency and a practical limit is around a few hundred kilohertz.<ref>{{Harvnb|Peluso|Steyaert|Sansen|1999|p=35}} {{Harvnb|Zumbahlen|2008|p=741}}</ref>
[[File:Dickson MOSFET voltage multiplier.svg|thumb|350px|Dickson charge pump using diode-wired MOSFETs. 4-stage (x5 multiplier)]]
Dickson multipliers are frequently found in [[integrated circuit]]s (ICs) where they are used to increase a low-voltage battery supply to the voltage needed by the IC. It is advantageous to the IC designer and manufacturer to be able to use the same technology and the same basic device throughout the IC. For this reason, in the popular [[CMOS]] technology ICs the transistor which forms the basic building block of circuits is the [[MOSFET]]. Consequently, the diodes in the Dickson multiplier are often replaced with MOSFETs wired to behave as diodes.<ref>{{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=226–228}} {{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|p=14}}</ref>

{{anchor|Dickson variations}}
[[File:Dickson multiplier with 2nd transistor.svg|thumb|350px|Dickson charge pump with linear MOSFET in parallel with diode-wired MOSFET. 4-stage (x5 multiplier)]]
The diode-wired MOSFET version of the Dickson multiplier does not work very well at very low voltages because of the large drain-source volt drops of the MOSFETs. Frequently, a more complex circuit is used to overcome this problem. One solution is to connect in parallel with the switching MOSFET another MOSFET biased into its linear region. This second MOSFET has a lower drain-source voltage than the switching MOSFET would have on its own (because the switching MOSFET is driven hard on) and consequently the output voltage is increased. The gate of the linear biased MOSFET is connected to the output of the next stage so that it is turned off while the next stage is charging from the previous stage's capacitor. That is, the linear-biased transistor is turned off at the same time as the switching transistor.<ref>{{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=228–230}} {{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=14–16}}</ref>

An ideal 4-stage Dickson multiplier (x5 multiplier) with an input of {{nowrap|1.5 V}} would have an output of {{nowrap|7.5 V}}. However, a diode-wired MOSFET 4-stage multiplier might only have an output of {{nowrap|2 V}}. Adding parallel MOSFETs in the linear region improves this to around {{nowrap|4 V}}. More complex circuits still can achieve an output much closer to the ideal case.<ref>{{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=14–16}}</ref>

Many other variations and improvements to the basic Dickson circuit exist. Some attempt to reduce the switching threshold voltage such as the Mandal-Sarpeshkar multiplier<ref>{{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=17–18}}</ref> or the Wu multiplier.<ref>{{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=230–232}}</ref> Other circuits cancel out the threshold voltage: the Umeda multiplier does it with an externally provided voltage<ref>{{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=18–20}}</ref> and the Nakamoto multiplier with internally generated voltage.<ref>{{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=19–20}}</ref> The Bergeret multiplier concentrates on maximising power efficiency.<ref>{{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=20–21}}</ref>

====Modification for RF power====
[[File:Modified Dickson multiplier.svg|thumb|350px|Modified Dickson charge pump. 2-stage (×3 multiplier)]]
In CMOS integrated circuits clock signals are readily available, or else easily generated. This is not always the case in [[radio frequency|RF]] integrated circuits, but often a source of RF power will be available. The standard Dickson multiplier circuit can be modified to meet this requirement by simply grounding the normal input and one of the clock inputs. RF power is injected into the other clock input, which then becomes the circuit input. The RF signal is effectively the clock as well as the source of power. However, since the clock is injected only into every other node the circuit only achieves a stage of multiplication for every second diode-capacitor cell. The other diode-capacitor cells are merely acting as peak detectors and smoothing the ripple without increasing the multiplication.<ref>{{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=228–230}} {{Harvnb|Yuan|2010|pp=14–15}}</ref>

===Cross-coupled switched capacitor===
[[File:Cross-coupled voltage multiplier.svg|thumb|350px|Cascade of cross-coupled MOSFET voltage doublers. 3-stage (x4 multiplier)]]
A voltage multiplier may be formed of a cascade of voltage doublers of the [[Voltage doubler#Cross-coupled switched capacitors|cross-coupled switched capacitor type]]. This type of circuit is typically used instead of a Dickson multiplier when the source voltage is {{nowrap|1.2 V}} or less. Dickson multipliers have increasingly poor power conversion efficiency as the input voltage drops because the voltage drop across the diode-wired transistors becomes much more significant compared to the output voltage. Since the transistors in the cross-coupled circuit are not diode-wired the volt-drop problem is not so serious.<ref>{{Harvnb|Campardo|Micheloni|Novosel|2005|pp=377–379}} {{Harvnb|Liu|2006|pp=232–235}} {{Harvnb|Lin|2008|p=81}}</ref>

The circuit works by alternately switching the output of each stage between a voltage doubler driven by <math>\phi_1 \ </math> and one driven by <math>\phi_2 \ </math>. This behaviour leads to another advantage over the Dickson multiplier; reduced ripple voltage at double the frequency. The increase in ripple frequency is advantageous because it is easier to remove by filtering. Each stage (in an ideal circuit) raises the output voltage by the peak clock voltage. Assuming that this is the same level as the DC input voltage then an ''n'' stage multiplier will (ideally) output ''nV''in. The chief cause of losses in the cross-coupled circuit is parasitic capacitance rather than switching threshold voltage. The losses occur because some of the energy has to go into charging up the parasitic capacitances on each cycle.<ref>{{Harvnb|Campardo|Micheloni|Novosel|2005|p=379}} {{Harvnb|Liu|2006|p=234}}</ref>

== Applications ==
[[image:TV cascade and flyback.JPG|thumb|right|280px|TV cascade (green) and [[flyback transformer]] (blue).]]

The high-voltage supplies for [[cathode ray tube]]s often use voltage multipliers with the final-stage smoothing capacitor formed by the interior and exterior [[aquadag]] coatings on the CRT itself.

A common type of voltage multiplier used in high-energy physics is the [[Cockcroft–Walton generator]] (which was designed by [[John Douglas Cockcroft]] and [[Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton]] for a [[particle accelerator]], for use in research that won them the [[Nobel Prize in Physics]] in 1951).
