There is some evidence that people have biased perceptions of risks, such as lethal or environmental risks. Hence their behavior is based on beliefs which may di¤er from the ’objective’ beliefs used by a regulator. The optimal regulation then depends on this di¤erence in beliefs. We set up a general framework and study this policy change. It turns out that, in many situations, the policy change...

of the Thesis Fully Integrated Hybrid Voltage Regulator for Low Voltage Applications by Yongwan Park Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Stony Brook University 2016 A novel hybrid regulator topology is proposed to alleviate the weaknesses of existing hybrid topologies. Contrary to the dominant existing practice, a switchedcapacitor converter and a resistorless LDO operate in a parallel ...

The parallel operation of voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for high-end microprocessors requires a current-sharing (CS) circuit to provide a uniform load distribution among the modules. A good dynamic performance of the CS circuit is very important since the microprocessors present highly dynamic loads to the VRMs. Stability and dynamic performance of the CS control are considered. To assess th...

In this note, we first show that Theorem 2 in the above paper is incorrect. Then, we also show that Theorem 1 is not enough to support the claim in the above paper that the proportional-integral sliding mode control method is more robust than the linear quadratic regulator method when applying on the active suspension system with mismatched uncertainties. © 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.

This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and test of a CMOS active clamp circuit. The active clamp is a linear voltage regulator, with a voltage deadband to allow for voltage ripple, that is designed to operate in parallel with a switchmode voltage regulator. Its specific function is to sink or source large transient currents to microprocessor loads, thus allowing operation with very small...
