The Cochcroft&Walton circuit showed as the picture is a typical multiple voltage rectifier circuit.The half-wave voltage doubler comopsed of several diodes and capacitor connects in series and AC voltage charges and discharges capacitors C1～Cn in a half cycle in series-parallel way when it goes through diodes D1～Dn.Low ac input voltage can get several times of single half-wave voltage doubler's DC output voltage.Its work's principle:The mains supply charges C1 via D1 when it's negative half cycle.
