Tripler Converts 5 to 15V:  08/17/00 EDN-Design Ideas  / (added 1/06)   By configuring a charge-pump voltage doubler as a tripler, you can readily derive 15V from 5V (Figure 1). A 15V rail is useful for powering op amps, LCD-bias circuits and other low-current applications. The connections shown configure the IC1 voltage doubler as a tripler. The no-load output voltage of the circuit is approximately 3VIN–2VD, where VD is the voltage drop across one diode. Use Schottky diodes as shown to minimize VD and its effect on output voltage. Because the circuit's finite output impedance causes the output voltage to drop with load current (Figure 2), a practical limit for load current is approximately 30 mA. (DI #2570)...

Tripler Converts 5 Volt to 15V:  Maxim Application Note #297 (app note added 7/03) By configuring a charge-pump voltage doubler as a tripler, you can readily derive 15V from 5V (Figure 1). A 15V rail is useful for powering op amps, LCD-bias circuits, and other low-current applications. The connections shown configure the IC1 voltage doubler as a tripler. The no-load output voltage of the circuit is approximately 3VIN -2VD, where VD is the voltage drop across one diode. Use Schottky diodes as shown to minimize VD and its effect on output voltage. Because the circuit's finite output impedance causes the output voltage to drop with load current (Figure 2), a practical limit for load current is approximately 30mA.

Two Channel Gate Driver for Large IGBT Modules:  The BG2A is a fully isolated two channel gate drive circuit designed for use with dual IGBT modules. The BG2A utilizes Powerex VLA500-01 or VLA502-01 hybrid gate drivers to provide efficient switching of modules rated up to 1400A. The hybrid gate driver features a built-in high speed opto-coupler, short circuit protection and an isolated DC to DC converter with 2500VRMS isolation. (added 3/05)

Use a 555 Timer as a Switch Mode Power Supply:  11/14/02 EDN Design Ideas  /  (added 1/05)  Most switch-mode power supplies rely on a PWM (pulse-width-modulated) output that is controlled via voltage feedback. A 555-timer IC can inexpensively perform PWM. The circuit in Figure 1 shows how to turn a 555 PWM circuit into an switch-mode power supply with only one simple equation. The design uses two 555s....
