The objective of the paper is the application of modular multilevel cascade converter based on double star bridge cells (DSBCs) to a Static synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), for reactive-power control. The power consumed by the heavy load will create an unsymmetrical current will reducing the quality of the power in the electrical grid. Due to the unsymmetrical current the electrical power in ...

A histogram-based method for quasi-static test of analog-to-digital converters has been proposed for standardization aims. The test exploits the use of small-amplitude triangular waves. Different signal offset values are used to fully stimulate the converter input range. The reduced amplitude and slope of the input triangular wave with respect to the converter range and slew rate, respectively,...

With the decrease in energy consumption of portable electronic devices, the concept of harvesting renewable energy in human surrounding arouses a renewed interest. In this context, we have developed a piezoelectric generator that harvests mechanical vibrations energy available on a bicycle. Embarked piezoelectric transducer, which is an electromechanical converter, undergoes mechanical vibratio...

We propose a robust single-stage static level converter called LC 2 that uses a pulsed control strategy to avoid contention. It reliably converts from 0.3V to 2.5V across wide PVT ranges. Fabricated in 130nm CMOS, 80 measured converters have an average delay of 2.38FO4 and 229fJ switching energy, marking 3.0× and 7.4× improvements over the best prior work. It consumes 475pW static power.

This paper proposes a new BIST (Built-In Self-Test) method for static testing of an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) with transition detection method. The proposed BIST uses a triangle-wave as an input test stimulus and calculates the ADC’s static parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed BIST can test both rising and falling transitions with minimal hardware overhead. key words: A...

This paper proposes a static test approach suitable for built-in-self-test (BIST) of Analog-to-digital converter Intellectual Property (IP). Static parameters (INL, DNL, gain, offset) are tested without using test equipment. The proposed BIST structure is applicable for testing models of analog-to-digital converters up to 12bits of resolution. Comparison results with dynamic test equipment vali...

Urbanization is continuing around the world accompanied by a constantly growing demand for energy. For these reasons, new and efficient solutions for power transmission are required. To cope with these new challenges a novel SVC PLUS (Static Var Compensation SVC) for Reactive Power Compensation is designed and researched. SVC PLUS is an advanced STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) with Mod...

Speed control of an induction motor requires a 3-phase power supply that can vary both voltage and frequency. Such creates variable-speed rotating field in the stator allows rotor to rotate at required speed with low slip. A static frequency converter efficiently provide full torque from zero speed, overspeed when necessary, easily bidirectional operation by changing phase rotation. Although pr...
