Integrated flexible parylene-based inductors were successfully designed, fabricated and analyzed. Using parylene as the substrate, the inductors have good flexibility and biocompatibility. With the Ni80Fe20 core, the inductance was enhanced by 235% maximally and the quality factor was also improved significantly. The square spiral inductor showed the inductance of 800nH at 55MHz. The coil coupl...

In this paper, a series Z-source inverter based on switched inductors cell is proposed for the first time. This inverter is able to increase the voltage gain in comparison to the conventional Z–source inverters in additon to solve the ST (shoot-through) state’s problems. In this inverter, the value of voltage gain is increased by increasing the number of used diodes and inductors in the switche...

We consider two electric RLC resonance networks that are equivalent to quantum billiards. In a network of inductors grounded by capacitors, the eigenvalues of the quantum billiard correspond to the squared resonant frequencies. In a network of capacitors grounded by inductors, the eigenvalues of the billiard are given by the inverse of the squared resonant frequencies. In both cases, the local ...

We present fully integrated high-performance voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) with on-chip microelectromechanical system (MEMS) inductors for the first time. MEMS inductors have been realized from the unique CMOS-compatible MEMS process that we have developed to provide suspended thick metal structures for high-quality ( ) factors. Fully integrated CMOS VCOs have been fabricated by monolit...

This paper introduces eight novel interleaved non-isolated dc-dc converters with ultra-high step-up and zero voltage switching (ZVS) capabilities for renewable energy systems. To increase the gain, proposed benefit coupled inductors, high-frequency (HF) transformer, multiplier (VM) techniques. In comparison to other converters, which just inductors or HF transformers, these combinations of tech...

A lowpass-bandpass (LP-BP) diplexer with one lowpass channel (LPC) and bandpass (BPC) is presented. The lumped-element dual-resonance resonator as common proposed to connect inductors, capacitors LC constitute the desired channels. LPC design combined parameters optimization transformation method, BPC can be developed using classical theory of coupled-resonator filter. As an example, a 0.9 / 1....

High performance magnetic heads, inductors and transformers, indispensable to information technology encompassing from information storage, portable power delivery, to wireless communication, require soft magnetic films with low coercivities, high permeability, and large ferromagnetic resonance frequencies. The Fe-Co-N-based films have a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of >1 GHz at zerobias f...
