Reliability Analysis of Converters

Overview on Reliability of Modular Multilevel Cascade Converters

Multi-level converters have been used extensively in modern industry which calls for energy conversion with high-power and highor medium-voltage. Because of its modularity and scalability, the multi-level converter with modular structure can be extended to different voltage levels and has a variety of forms in practical applications. It has attracted much attention from academia in the past dec...

Reliability Enhancement of Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs)

Reliability of systems used in spa e, avioni and biomedi al appli ations is highly riti al. Su h systems onsist of an analog front-end to olle t data, an ADC to onvert the olle ted data to digital form and a digital unit to pro ess it. The reliability of these systems is a e ted by the ability of its onstituent blo ks to tolerate faults. Therefore, it is ne essary to in rease the reliability of...

Fault-sensitivity analysis and reliability enhancement of analog-to-digital converters

Reliability of systems used in space, avionic and biomedical applications is highly critical. Such systems consist of an analog front-end to collect data, an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) to convert the collected data to digital form and a digital unit to process it. Though considerable amount of research has been performed to increase the reliability of digital blocks, the same can not be ...

Reliability of Analog-to-Digital Sigma-Delta Converters

Due to the continuously scaling down of CMOS technology, system-on-chips (SoCs) reliability becomes important in sub-90 nm CMOS node. Integrated circuits and systems applied to aerospace, avionic, vehicle transport and biomedicine are highly sensitive to reliability problems such as ageing mechanisms and parametric process variations. Novel SoCs with new materials and architectures of high comp...
