    Charge pump "Voltage Quadrupler"- data sheet error?

    I was just checking a data sheet for the MIC1555 (an IC similar to the NE555 timer), and came across the following circuit: I confess I find following such switching circuits a bit mind mending, but as far as I can see, surely this is at best about a voltage doubler: As the output on pin 5 only...

    Calculate power

    Hello, considering a sinusoidal voltage source and a half-wave doubler rectification (as in the picture), how is it possible to calculate the DC power on a resistor R when considering ideal diodes?
