US Patent 11594959 Switched capacitor circuit with passive charge recycling

A switched capacitor voltage multiplication device has a rectifier with a DC input terminal and a DC output terminal and two pulse input terminals. A first flying capacitor is coupled to one of the pulse input terminals, while a second flying capacitor is coupled to the other pulse input terminal. A recycle resistor is coupled across the rectifier with a first resistor terminal coupled to one pulse input terminal and a second resistor terminal coupled to the other pulse input terminal.
