Asymmetric multilevel inverters generate high-quality output voltage using the same number of components as symmetric inverters. The main drawback these topologies is that they require many DC sources, and power switches must endure high stress. In this paper, a switched-capacitor sub-module inverter topology proposed to reduce sources stress on asymmetric can 15 levels by two supplies capacito...

A new general cascaded multilevel inverter using developed H-bridges is proposed. The proposed topology requires a lesser number of dc voltage sources and power switches and consists of lower blocking voltage on switches, which results in decreased complexity and total cost of the inverter. These abilities obtained within comparing the proposed topology with the conventional topologies from afo...

The VHDL based mixed-signal event-driven (MixED) simulation method [1] has been shown to allow for effective mixed-signal simulation in a number of useful applications. The range of possible applications is smaller than that of tools such as VHDL-AMS [2,3] or PSpice-AD [4]. However, a number of useful mixed-signal circuits have already been successfully simulated, e.g. an analog inverter with o...

Abstract This paper proposes a nine-level switched-capacitor step-up inverter (9LSUI) which can achieve quadruple voltage gain with single dc source. Differing from other inverters, the stress of switches is effectively reduced due to elimination H-bridge, and peak inverse all kept within 2 V . In addition, proposed able integrate inductive load, capacitor self-balancing be achieved without any...
