  • Abstract
    A DC/DC power converter that is capable of generating high voltage is described. The design employs capacitive energy transfer to accomplish voltage conversion. The converter contains arrays of integrated-circuit power switches and capacitors. A transfer gain of 36 is achieved, making it possible to step up a nominal input of 67.5 V DC to 2430 V DC. The circuit configuration, performance characteristics, and merits of the design are discussed.<>
