ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating a high voltage by converting input power at a low voltage to output power at a high voltage, by: supplying input power to a low voltage unit to produce a periodic signal having a frequency; supplying the periodic signal to a rectifier voltage multiplier of a specific type to cause the rectifier voltage multiplier to produce the output power at a high voltage, wherein the ratio of output power to input power is a function of the frequency of the periodic signal; identifying the type of the rectifier voltage multiplier; and continually adjusting the frequency of the periodic signal toward a value which maximizes the ratio of output power to input power.
