  • Abstract
    In this paper, experimental results of a voltage tripler are given. This voltage tripler is improved against the influence of parasitic capacitances on output voltage and optimised in terms of its die area. The interaction between working frequency and die area is discussed. The operation of the voltage tripler in terms of low supply voltage is also investigated. The test results confirm theoretical prediction of the output voltage improvement and the minimisation of die area by design optimisation.
