This paper presents a study of two simple MPPT converter topologies for grid integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems. A general description and a steady state analysis of the discussed converters are presented. Main operating modes of the converters are explained. Calculations of main circuit element parameters are provided. Experimental setups of the MPPT converters with the power of 800 W we...

Combination of A/D-D/A converters allows implementing both long-term analog memory and multiplier/divider operations. An efficient design based on continuous-time, current-mode, dividing-algorithmic converters is presented in this paper. It offers high-speed and low-voltage operation with low or middle resolution. Experimental results of two CMOS-2.4μm prototypes (with 5and 7-bit data converter...

We demonstrate quantum walks of a photon pair in a spatially extended Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state coupled into an on-chip multiport photonic lattice. By varying the degree of entanglement we observe Anderson localization for pairs in a separable state and Anderson colocalization for pairs in an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entangled state. In the former case, each photon localizes independently, w...

INTRODUCTION We measured duration mismatch negativity (dMMN), P3a, and reorienting negativity (RON) in subjects with at-risk mental state (ARMS), patients with first-episode or chronic schizophrenia, and healthy volunteers. The main interest was to determine if these event-related potentials provide a biomarker associated with progression to overt schizophrenia in ARMS subjects. METHODS Ninet...

Abstract This paper describes test procedures to characterize the behavior of logarithmic analog-to-digital converters. Logarithmic A/D converters are usually characterized in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or in deviation of the ideal characteristic in dB. There are a lack of test methods definition in the literature, as can be observed in the IEEE standard 1241 for these type of convert...

This paper proposes an alternative configuration for digitally controlled parallel connected DC–DC power converters. Unlike conventional scheme which uses only one digital controller to control all of the n parallel connected power converters, the proposed scheme employs n digital controllers for n paralleled power converters. This arrangement prevents single controller breakdown from faulting ...

A software defined radio (SDR) system is based on state-of-the art technologies covering topics such as: smart antennas, radio frequency (RF) down/up converters, analog to digital converters (ADCs) and digital to analog converters (DACs), digital signal processors (DSPs), modelling and system description languages. This paper is focused in the ADC and studies the various parameters affecting it...

The paper presents the full-order small-signal models of some basic PWM converters (Cuk, Sepic and Zeta) with discontinuous inductor current mode (DCM). The derivation procedure is based on the small-signal PWM switch model in DCM and converter topologies derived from their original topologies. The small-signal characteristics of these converters are presented in symbolic forms. Such models can...

The static converters are important sources of EMI. In order to reproduce the converters functioning by simulation, a special effort must be provided for the silicon component modeling. In our survey case, these models must be well adapted to the static converters simulation for EMC characterization. In this paper, we have focused on the semiconductor models by providing an IGBT VHDL-AMS model....
