An adiabatic circuit was designed for dissipationless charging of a capacitor. The duty ratio of the switching transistors is changed stepwise and controlled by a microprocessor. The charging efficiency, that is the ratio between the work done by the power supply and electrostatic energy of the capacitor, is calculated from experimental results. The efficiency is 94% when the number of stepwise voltage is 32, which is consistent with the theoretical value.
