Ubiquitous mobile communication creates an increasing demand for high data rates, complex modulation schemes and low power design. The cost and performance benefits of conventional lithographic scaling are diminishing as process cost increases exponentially. 3D integration has the potential to keep driving performance forward while keeping cost down. The possibility to integrate separate dies w...

The main folder (name: non-linear inductor) includes four subfolders (Buck, Buck_Average, Behavior and Param_Mod), each folder contains one simulation project for the corresponding simulation circuit. The inductor data refers to a 77254A7 iron powder core (Kool Mu) characteristics, drawn from MAGNETICS data sheets.

This integrated single inductor dual-output boost DC/DC converter provides two independently regulated outputs with maximum efficiency at 83%. The converter operates in PWM and discontinuous mode at 500kHz using a 6.8uH inductor. Each output is time-multiplexed and regulated via current mode control. A drain-extended 0.13um technology allows backlight application up to 11V operation. The chip o...

In this project a number of circuits [1-4] with the characteristics of a passive inductor are to be assessed for their suitability for implementation in MMIC applications as a means of introducing a tuning function and as a replacement for the conventional passive inductor.

In the paper, the H∞ repetitive current control scheme based on active damping along with the design method is proposed for three-phase grid-connected inverters with inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filters. The control scheme aims to reduce the harmonic distortion of the output currents and achieve better efficiency. The design method introduces capacitor-current-feedback active damping into ...

Capacitive De-Ionization (CDI) is becoming a suitable alternative for desalination. The low cost of the materials required and its reduced energy consumption can be critical factors for developing this technique. CDI technology does not require a high-pressure system and the energy storage capability of CDI cells allows it to be reused in other CDI cells, thus minimizing consumption. The goal o...

In 1982 Broniatowki [J. Appl. Phys. 56 (1982) 2907] estimated theoretically what is the change of capacitance as seen by a capacitance meter if an inductor is set in series with a DLTS sample. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no experimental studies on the inductor coupled in series with the sample to clarify in which way the inductor would actually change the DLTS spectra. In this...

In this study, a new Phase Shifted Full Bridge (PSFB) Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) isolated dc-dc converter is proposed. In the proposed converter, resonant inductor is replaced with Linear Variable Inductor (LVI) that is controlled by output current. The soft switching operation range is increased and the dependency of ZVS operation on the load current is decreased. The required energy for ZVS ...

The Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is very much important in achieving good reception sensitivity in the wideband transceiver of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) architecture. In this paper, the LNA is designed for Multi Band-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) receiver, which is used to transmit the information on 14 different sub bands of UWB with minimum of 528 MHz frequency in each band. T...

In this paper, a high-conversion-ratio bidirectional dc–dc converter with coupled inductor is proposed. In the boost mode, two capacitors are parallel charged and series discharged by the coupled inductor. Thus, high step-up voltage gain can be achieved with an appropriate duty ratio. The voltage stress on the main switch is reduced by a passive clamp circuit. Therefore, the low resistance RDS(...
