A signal generator is provided for delivering non-overlapping charge and discharge signals to a voltage multiplier circuit. The multiplier circuit has a discharge switch for receiving the discharge signal and connecting a booster capacitor in series with an input voltage source and in parallel with a storage capacitor, thereby transferring charge from the booster capacitor to a storage capacitor. The multiplier circuit further includes charge switch which receives the charge signal and delivers the input voltage potential to the booster capacitor for charging. The signal generator advantageously provides an interval of time between the charge and discharge signals, thereby preventing sporadic discharges from the booster capacitor and undesirable power losses.
