A primary challenge in high performance, high complexity integrated circuits is the on-chip interconnect [1]. Transmitting clock, data, and communications signals over large die areas requires long interconnections among the various circuit modules. Consequently, as technology scales, the interconnect cross section decreases while operating frequencies have increased. The impact of these trends...

In this study, the validity of the approximation used in the modeling of resonant inverter tuning loop is discussed. With this approach, the phase-frequency relation of a resonant load around load resonant frequency can be expressed as a linear function for a reasonably high quality factor load. Results are verified by simulations.

We report here efficient 1.9 μm emission by pure stimulated vibrational Raman scattering in a hydrogen-filled anti-resonant hollow-core fiber pumped with a 1064 nm microchip laser. A maximum quantum conversion efficiency ~48% was achieved by using a 6.5 m length of fiber filled with 23 bar hydrogen, with a maximum peak output power of 2 kW. By properly designing the transmission bands of the fi...

Due to the increasing number of wind power plants, several countries have modified their grid codes to include specific requirements for the connection of this technology to the power system. One of the requirements is the ride-through fault capability (RTFC), i.e., the system capability to sustain operation during voltage sags. In this sense, the present paper intends to investigate the behavi...

Controllable alternating induction magnetic field generation technology which induces plant seeds to breed on floor space has been developed. The incentive ferrite induction coil is used in the device to produce induced magnetic field. The common AC-DC-AC topology was adopted for the variable frequency power supply, realizing the VF. AC-DC-AC AC power inverter circuit adopts SPWM inverter frequ...

We report more than 1.1 Watt of idler power at 3373 nm in a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (SRO), directly pumped by a single-frequency monolithic tapered diode laser. The SRO is based on a periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3 crystal in a four mirror cavity and is excited by 8.05 W of 1062 nm radiation. The SRO pump power at threshold is 4 W. The internal slope-efficiency and conversio...

A resonant driver for a Piezoelectric Motor (PZM) is presented, analyzed and tested experimentally. Following a short description of the linear PZM applied in this study, the paper covers the analytical relationships of the buck driven push-pull parallel resonant inverter stage that includes a novel single transistor direction switches. It is shown that the proposed topology is compatible with ...

In this article, a resonant push–pull dc–dc converter suitable for switching frequencies in the MHz-range is investigated. Despite simple design procedure with no need of multiresonant tuning, topology capable providing constant output current over wide voltage range unregulated operation. Based on an analytical solution steady-state operation, normalized dependencies behavior are determined an...

In this paper, a Quasi-Z-Source Photovoltaic (PV) Inverter is proposed. The proposed inverter gives the solution for most of the problems associated with currently available PV inverters. In this inverter, the power conversion takes place in a single-stage itself thereby fulfilling the requirements such as, inverting dc voltage to proper ac, stepping up the input voltage, maximum power point tr...
