Abstract
An electronic circuit is described for providing a low current DC supply at increased voltage with high efficiency and minimal hardware complexity. In performing its function, the circuit preferably utilizes a plurality of CMOS voltage-controlled solid state switches in conjunction with a sequenced clock pulse train to implement a compact capacitive-type multiplier. Thus, capacitors are charged in a predetermined order and the charges stacked upon one another to ultimately charge an output storage capacitor to a voltage level which is substantially a desired multiple of the supply voltage applied to the circuit. For descriptive purposes, the present inventive techniques are applied herein to the design for an octupler.
