We demonstrate a novel algorithm for assigning the threshold voltage to the gates in a digital random logic complementary metal—oxide—semiconductor (CMOS) circuit for a dual-threshold voltage process. The tradeoff between static and dynamic power consumption has been explored. When used along with device sizing and supply voltage reduction techniques for low power, the proposed algorithm can re...

This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter to reduce the voltage stress of power MOSFETs and achieve high circuit efficiency. Two half-bridge converters are connected in series at high voltage side to limit MOSFETs at Vin/2 voltage stress. Flying capacitor is used between two series half-bridge converters to balance two input capacitor voltages in each switching cycle. Variable switc...

A low-voltage analog multiplier operating at 1.2V is presented. The multiplier core consists of four MOS transistors operating in the saturation region. The circuit exploits the quadratic relation between current and voltage of the MOS transistor in saturation. The circuit was designed using standard 0.6μm CMOS technology. Simulation results indicate an IP3 of 4.9dBm and a spur free dynamic ran...

Effects of temperature on electrical parameters of polysilicon solar cells, fabricated using the phosphorous spin-on diffusion technique, have been studied.

An additional stage for a Low Voltage Lazzaro’s Winner Take All (WTA) circuit is introduced. It allows lowering the voltage supply requirements so that it can be functional in fine line CMOS technology. Electrical measurements of a prototype in CMOS 0.5μm technology verify the operation of the WTA circuit with VDD = 1.5V. Simulations in PSpice and stability issues are presented as well.

This paper presents a single current controlled current conveyor trans-conductance amplifier (CCCCTA)based multi-input single output (MISO) voltage-mode universal biquad filter.
