A new software tool for learning the dynamic behavior of power electronics circuits is developed for undergraduate students. This tool incorporates the merits of two well-known software packages, namely, the realistic time-domain simulation of PSpice and the parametric identification process of MatLab. Hence, without going through complicated mathematics, the students can easily obtain the tran...

A DC-DC step-up micro power converter for solar energy harvesting applications is presented. The circuit is based on a switchedcapacitor voltage tripler architecture with MOSFET capacitors, which results in an area approximately eight times smaller than using MiM capacitors for the 0.13μm CMOS technology. In order to compensate for the loss of efficiency, due to the larger parasitic capacitance...

Axial Flux Ironless permanent magnetic synchronous motor (AFIPMSM) is a new permanent magnetic motor. It has many advantages, such as high torque-to-weight ratio, good efficiency, no cogging torque, and the sinusoidal back EMF. It gradually becomes the good choice in drive system. However, the small armature winding inductance causes the current is not continued with the PWM control based on VS...

The 15V DC is stepped up to 230V DC using high step up DC-DC Converter. This DC is converted into AC using a single phase inverter. The DC-AC converter system i...

In this work, a zero static error proportional controller for a two-cell DC-DC buck converter is synthesized and analyzed. Under a traditional proportional control scheme, the system presents a constant error of the current supplying the output load. As the proportional feedback gain is increased, the average static error decreases. However, sub-harmonic oscillations and chaotic behavior emerge...

As a result, the efficiency map of the dc-d...

In this paper, an 8b/10b encoding serializer/deserializer (SerDes) circuit using a DC-balanced, partitioned block, 8b/10b transmission code was presented. The information format of this transmission code consists of packets which are variable in length and can be suitable for high speed applications. Serializer and deserializer blocks were designed separately. The serializer circuit gets the 8-...

In this paper, a novel switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with pulse density and width modulation (PDWM) is proposed with reduced output ripple at variable output voltages. While performing pulse density modulation (PDM), the proposed PDWM modulates the pulse width at the same time to reduce the output ripple with high power efficiency. The prototype chip was implemented using 65 nm CMOS proces...

Conventional voltage mode control only offers limited performance for LLC series resonant DC-to-DC converters experiencing wide variations in operational conditions. When the existing voltage mode control is employed, the closed-loop performance of the converter is directly affected by unavoidable changes in power stage dynamics. Thus, a specific control design optimized at one particular opera...
