Circuit Description

3 stage voltage multiplier 170Vac to 1000Vdc
This circuit takes AC voltage and converts it into a higher DC voltage.
Notice that this circuit is a combination of a Clamper and Peak Detector Circuit.
For the 1st stage the output voltage is Vout = 2 * Vpeak
For stages greater than or equal to 2 add on the 1st stage voltage
Example:
Vin = 120Vrms
Vpeak = 120 / 0.707 = 169.7 Vac
Vout1 = 169.7 * 2 = 339.4 Vdc
Vout2 = 339.4 + 339.4 = 678.8 Vdc
Vout3 = 678.8 + 339.4 = 1018.2 Vdc
