DC Voltage Doubler Circuit?

[Paul Marossy]

Is there any way to double the voltage of a 9V DC power source? Some kind of chip or something?

[mikeb]

MAX1044 or 7660 (also equivs like TCL1044 etc), see RGs page for the 'Neutron' envelope filter, or also his article there somewhere on this ... and also a billion threads in this forum!

Paul,

Over at //www.geofex.comunder circuit sweepings theres an  

article on how  

to do it using a Max1044 chip.

Its not quite double ve, about 17. something taking into account the drop

over the diodes.

Hope that helps

Cheers Ken.

Mike ,

You beat me......

Cheers Ken.

Maybe, but you'll be building that 'special' circuit with the voltage doubler in it before me ....

True,

Cheers Ken.

Don't waste your time for $ on the 7660, the MAX1044 is ten times easier to use since its oscillator is beyond the audio range.

I thought that I remembered something about that MAX1044 at GEO...
Thanks, I'll look into that.
