I don't think it could be rightly described as a "charge pump" device at
all.
Apparently (because I had to look it up) Charge Pump devices work by
electronically switching the polarity of the capacitors. IE "the capacitor
is disconnected from the original charging voltage and reconnected with its
negative terminal to the original positive charging voltage".
That doesn't happen at all within my application.
I think that the schematic I am looking at is rightly described as a voltage
multiplier.
I.E. it is an "electrical circuit that converts AC electrical power from a
lower voltage to a higher DC voltage by means of capacitors and diodes
combined into a network."
In particular it is a half-wave series multiplier, where the voltage is only
doubled once.
However, voltage multipliers "can be used to generate bias voltages of a few
volts or tens of volts or MILLIONS OF VOLTS"
You said:
" Mark Ilsley = UTTER FUCKING LIAR
Yes, it is a pair of half-wave rectifiers which DOUBLE the voltage. 9 VAC
in and +/-15 VDC out AFTER regulation.
** Totally impossible bollocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9 volts AC = 12 volts DC *peak* after rectification and filtering."
There is no escape. "Totally impossible" has only ONE meaning.
But I do so love watching you squirm on the end of my hook.
Desperately wracking your brain for an escape, an excuse, an explaination.
ANYTHING to save face. It's fun to observe you in this mode.
