One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...

This study explains the breakdown mechanism in different triggered spark gap switches. Two different trigger electrode configurations are tested for the switch predischarge operation in a nitrogen laser circuit. The behavior of the breakdown voltage, when a trigger pulse is applied to the trigger electrode, is investigated, and the results are reported. Based on the experimental measurements ne...

The current paper presents an improved bandgap voltage reference (BGR) that utilizes curvature-corrected current generators which compensate for the voltage reference at lower and higher temperature range. The voltage reference is operated with a supply voltage of 2.5V to achieve an output reference of 1.1835V. The temperature coefficient achieved from the circuit is 1.342 ppm/◦C, resulting fro...
