A power management controller circuit with a switched-capacitor mode down-regulator and a battery charger block for semi-active radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags was proposed and fabricated. The major achievement of the proposed switched-capacitor mode downregulator and battery charger block is providing a low standby current internal voltage supply circuit and self-controlled thin fil...

Mingoo Seok, Scott Hanson, Yu-Shiang Lin, Zhiyoong Foo, Daeyeon Kim, Yoonmyung Lee, Dennis Sylvester, David Blaauw University of Michigan Ann Arbor [email protected] ABSTRACT An integrated platform for sensor applications, called the Phoenix Processor, is implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS process with an area of 915x915μm, making on-die battery integration feasible. The Phoenix Processor uses a compr...

A successive approximation ADC targeted for use in distributed sensor networks is presented. The individual nodes in these sensor networks are very energy constrained. Typical use of the individual nodes will include long periods of idle time in a low power standby mode followed by a period of activity that may include sampling of the sensors, computation, and communication. The ADC reported he...

Auxiliary power supplies are required to have low standby power consumption at light-load conditions. These power supplies also require features such as low cost, high efficiency, and a Line Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) function to detect the input voltage so the main power supply does not operate at low input voltage ranges. Fairchild’s FSQ510 has been specifically designed for low standby pow...

This investigation deals with transient analysis of cold standby system with n units . Chapman-Kolmogorov equations are developed for repair facility with two repairmen and solved by using matrix technique. Availability and reliability factors have been obtained with probability of the system. A particular case has also been discussed.

In design of complex arithmetic logic circuits, ground bounce noise, standby leakage current and leakage power are important and challenging issues in nanometer down scaling. In this paper, a low power, low complex and reduced ground bounce noise full adder design based on pass transistor logic (PTL) is proposed. Basically adder is vital part of complex arithmetic logic circuit in arithmetic op...

The replication between the primary and secondary (standby) databases can be configured in either synchronous or asynchronous mode. It is referred to as out-of-sync mode if there any lag standby databases. In previous research, advantages of method were demonstrated over on highly transactional requires human intervention a great deal manual effort configure disaster recovery database setups. M...

We propose in this paper a technology that can perform remote control and monitoring of electrical appliances on Zigbee wireless network. To do this, a Smart power socket (SPS) module that is able to control and monitoring the power of electricity is realized in this research. ZigBee wireless smart loading monitoring and control system uses visualized program language to develop graphic control...

The article presents the analysis of operating modes small displacement vessels, which states that most working time vessels are in standby mode, or move at low speed. main ship diesel engines operate a load 10-15% (maximum 20%), impacts operational performance: oil and water jacket engine do not have to warm up, fuel consumption increases. There takes place coking piston rings, intercoolers ot...

Safety systems and protection systems can experience two phases of operation (standby and active); an accurate dependability analysis must combine an analysis of both phases. The standby mode can last for a long time, during which the safety system is periodically tested and maintained. Once a demand occurs, the safety system must operate successfully for the length of demand. The failure chara...
