You missed something, but it's probably my fault for not being more
specific:>:
The discussion above is c-o-m-p-a-r-i-n-g the CW mult to the 'other'
multiplier (since the previous post had suggesting looking at the
'other' multiplier as an alternative). In the CW, each stage needs
about 100 volts PIV per diode and all of the diodes can be the same
rating.
In the 'other' multiplier, caps and diodes need to withstand the
higher voltages as the number of stages is increased. So, a PM Tube
supply based on the 'other' would need 500v and 1000v diodes and caps
in the upper stages even though each stage produces only 100v.
My point (above) was that higher voltage rated diodes get very poor in
terms of electrical losses and high frequency switching losses-which
is what you need to use if you put together the 'other' multiplier in
a PM Tube supply.
The 'other' multiplier is well suited for higher power, but lower
voltage aps for this reason. I think the perfomance of the 'other'
multiplier in a PM tube supply would be poor:>:
