Introduction
A voltage doubler is an electric circuit with an AC input and a
DC output of roughly twice the peak input voltage. They are a
variety of voltage multiplier circuit and are often, but not
always, a single stage of a general form of such circuits. The
term is usually applied to circuits consisting of rectifying diodes
and capacitors only, other means of doubling voltages are not
included.
There are differenttypes
of voltage multiplierssuch
as voltage doubler,
voltage Tripler, and
voltage quadrupler.
Primarily, we are going to
discuss about voltage
doubler circuit diagram
and voltage doubler

555 -Timer IC
The555 timer ICis anintegrated circuit(chip) used in a variety
oftimer, pulse generation, andoscillatorapplications. The 555
can be used to provide time delays, as anoscillator, and as
aflip-flop element. Derivatives provide up to four timing circuits
in one package.
Introduced in 1971 byAmericancompanySignetics, the 555 is
still in widespread use due to its low price, ease of use, and
stability. It is now made by many companies in the
also inmodes:
low-powerCMOStypes.

not connected and no capacitor is used. Uses include bounce-free latched switches.
Internal Structure
This voltage doubler using 555 timer is a simple DC voltage multiplier that
utilizes capacitors, diodes, andIC 555 timerin astable mode. Hence, it
produces a square wave approximately at 2KHz frequency with the help of
R1, R2, and C1 as shown in the figure. The forward biased diode D2 and C3
are connected such that for amplifying the signals. The diode D1 prevents
complete discharge of the capacitor C3.
Thus, these basic components such as capacitors C3, C4, diodes D1, and D2
are used for boosting the input power. As the components are selected with
appropriate ratings, the circuit accepts the input supply voltage ranging
from
3Vinput
to 12V.
.If
the
supply
can divide the circuit into two parts, first part consist the 555
timer IC in Astable mode, to generate the square wave and second
part consist 2 diodes and 2 capacitors to double the output
voltage.We have configured 555 Timer IC in Astable multi -vibrator
mode to generate the square wave of approx. 2KHz, this
frequency is decided by the resistor R1, R2 and capacitor C1.
Below is he formulae for the same:
F = 1.44 / (R1+2*R2) * C1
When the output at PIN 3 of 555 IC is low, Diode D1 get forward
biased and capacitor C3 get charged through the D1. Capacitor C3
get charged up to the same voltage at the source, in our case
5v.Now when output at PIN 3 goes high, D1 get reverse biased and
blocks the discharging of the capacitor C3, and at the same time
D2 is forward biased and allow the capacitor C4 to charge. Now
the capacitor C4 charges with the combined voltage of Capacitor
C3 and the input source voltage, means 5v of capacitor C3 and 5v
of input supply, so it charges up to 10v (twice the voltage of input
source).
