The Charge Pump: brought to you by Solderstick Wire Connectors Get solderstick at 20% OFF with discount code “LE20“ at This circuit is a simple 2 stage charge pump. The theory behind it is we charge capacitors individually and discharge them together so that the charges increase. Say we begin with a 5VDC VCC we charge C1 to 5VDC and C2 to 5VDC. If we put a meter across them individually, they will read 5VDC, but if we put them in series and and read across the array we will get somewhere near twice VCC. ************************************************************************* *Please help support this channel at NO COST TO YOU.
