Charge pump circuits A charge pump uses arrays of capacitors to increase voltage in a circuit. In this way, you can drive higher voltage loads from logic voltages of 3 - 5 volts. Wilf has posted a number of interesting charge pump designs on the (formerly eGroups, now ) Yahoo BEAM group list: This is a simple, multi-stage design -- all you need is a bicore, 3 volts, and a bunch of 10 uF capacitors... |
