VOLTAGE TRIPLER CIRCUIT ECE A

This is a Voltage Tripler Circuit this circuit receives power from an AC voltage source.This voltage tripling effect is achieved through the use of capacitors. We use individuals capacitors to charge up to the input voltage. The first capacitor charges up to the input voltage of the circuit. The second capacitor has a successive effect. It charges up to the value of the input voltage but always sees the voltage from the first capacitor, having an additive effect. The result is double the input voltage. The third capacitor, again, charges up to the input voltage but sees the voltage from the other 2 capacitors, so the output is triple the input voltage. We use diodes to block capacitors from discharging once they are charged. So it's a series of capacitors and diodes that allows this multiplying effect. The circuit intakes an input voltage and multiplies it by 3 to give an output voltage that is 3 times larger than the input voltage. Thus, this circuit is a type of voltage multiplier circuit.
