Re: voltage doubler

usually it is charge pump circuit constructed from diode , capacitor and clock drivers. It's main purpose is to boost the input voltage to a higher voltage to
supply some circuit that need higher voltage to operate correctly.
application: LED driver, battery power system
 

Re: voltage doubler

murali sridhar.d,
It is a circuit that alternately charges capacitors in parallel, and then connects them in series. There are simple circuits using diodes that do this. You can also accomplish voltage tripling, quadrupling, etc. The disadvantage of these circuits is that the load regulation is poor. See the following:
