Charge Pump Extravaganza

Here’s something I’ve been looking for for awhile now for a project I’ve got in the works, and figured some of you guys may be looking for the same thing. They’re based off of the schematic published by the one and only R.G. Keen, found here.

Layout 1: +9V to +17V

Layout 2: +9V to +25V

Layout 3: +9V to +33V

Remember to watch your electrolytics voltage rating, especially with the +33V charge pump
Note: You can NOT substitute the MAX1044 for 7660s or NE555 IC.
