Understanding Charge Pump Circuits and Their Applications

charge pump circuit diagram

To step up or invert voltages in your electronics projects, a simple but effective approach is to use a voltage multiplier. This method uses capacitors and diodes to achieve higher voltages from a lower input. It’s common in small power supply units, like for embedded systems or where compact designs are necessary. If you’re building one yourself, knowing how to wire it for optimal performance is crucial.

Use a one-pickup, one-volume, one-tone circuit layout with a short signal path: hot lead from the bridge pickup goes directly to the first lug of the volume potentiometer (typically 500k audio taper), the center lug routes the signal to the output jack tip, and the remaining lug connects to ground on the pot casing. This compact arrangement reduces resistance in the path and keeps the raw character of the pickup intact.
