Cockcroft-Walton Multiplier, 2 stages. *P.

At no load, it should produce * 680 V in this example. Low ripple will require an * RC time constant much longer than 1/60 s * to avoid significant droop. c1 0 1 0.01uF ;Capacitor labels as in Fig. 4.65. c3 1 10 0.01uF c2 100 2 0.01uF c4 2 4 0.01uF .model dio D(Is=10p Rs=0.1) ;Near-ideal diode d1 0 2 dio ;Diode labels as in Fig. 4.65. d2 2 1 dio d3 1 4 dio d4 4 10 dio *The output node is 10. Vout is measured from 10 to 0. *The outout is sustained by a series combination of * C1 and C3. For instance, 10% droop should require * Rload x C1/2 to be at least ten times 1/60. * However, in the multiplier, the ripple adds among stages. * Here is a sample load Rload = 67 M. * It generates too much ripple, but is a very * instructive first test. rload 10 0 67000k * *It is also suggested that V(1), V(2), and V(4) be viewed * to show how the output builds up over time * and how the multiplier acts. .probe .end
