Abstract
A novel push-pull voltage converter structure, using a switched capacitor type voltage doubler, is proposed. The circuit is constructed with a two-stage push-pull voltage doubler that has a stable operation with small output ripple. The two-stage voltage doubler creates the output voltage 4Vdd. The high clock signal is cross-coupled to the input of the second stage with the opposite phase to reduce two switching transistors and capacitors. Simulation results verify that even with a reduced number of transistor and capacitor, there is no circuit performance loss. Adding one capacitor and two switching transistors the circuit can be changed to eight times of Vdd maker.
