High-voltage power supply circuit having a plurality of diode bridges connected in series to the secondary winding of a transformer

摘要

A high-voltage power supply circuit receives ac input, effects rectification and successive multiplication, and outputs a high dc voltage. The high-voltage power supply circuit includes a plurality of diode bridges connected to a secondary winding of a transformer, in series by way of capacitors, that effect full-wave rectification of an ac voltage outputted from the secondary winding. The high-voltage power supply circuit further includes a plurality of capacitors provided for each of the diode bridges that accumulate charges from the output voltage that has undergone full-wave rectification. Voltage that is a multiple of the maximum value of the ac voltage within the secondary winding and the number of stages of diode bridges (an integer multiple) is outputted at each of the connection points of the diode bridges.
