When the sinusoidal input voltage is positive, capacitor C1 charges up through diode D1 and when the sinusoidal voltage is negative, capacitor C2 charges up through diode, D2. The output voltage 2VIN is taken across the two series connected capacitors.
Therefore we can state a particularly important characteristic of capacitors: The voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously. (6.1.2.7) (6.1.2.7) The voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously. This observation will be key to understanding the operation of capacitors in DC circuits.
ON DC If you have two 100V rated capacitors in series, you cannot assume that the combination of the two will be 200V. Slightly different leakage currents will mean one cap has more voltage across it than the other.
This simple diode-capacitor pump circuit gives a DC output voltage equal to the peak-to-peak value of the sinusoidal input. In other words, double the peak voltage value because the diodes and the capacitors work together to effectively double the voltage. So how does it work. The circuit shows a half wave voltage doubler.
The charge pump capacitor, C P, is first charged to the input voltage. It is then switched to charging the output capacitor, C O, in series with the input voltage resulting in C O eventually being charged to twice the input voltage.
If this simple device is connected to a DC voltage source, as shown in Figure 8.2.1 , negative charge will build up on the bottom plate while positive charge builds up on the top plate. This process will continue until the voltage across the capacitor is equal to that of the voltage source.
