This paper presents a novel scalar based pulse width modulation (PWM) algorithm for four-level asymmetrical dual inverter fed induction motor drive. In the conventional carrier based PWM algorithms for dual inverter fed induction motor drive, both inverters will be operated at all modulation indices. But, the proposed PWM algorithm operates only one inverter at lower modulation indices and othe...

This paper presents the comparison of Unipolar Inverted Sine Carrier Pulse Width Modulation (UISCPWM) techniques for the Cascaded Multi Level Inverter (CMLI). Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the multilevel AC output voltage. This paper presents the use of Control Freedom Degree (CFD) combination.

This paper proposes and demonstrates novel types of vision chips that utilize pulse trains for image processing. Two types of chips were designed using 1.2 μm double-metal double-poly CMOS process; one is based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) and the other is based on a pulse frequency modulation (PFM). In both chips the interaction between the pixels were introduced to realize the image pre-...

In this paper, we propose a new modulation scheme called multi-coded variable pulse position modulation (MC-VPPM) for visible light communication systems. Two groups of signals (Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) groups) are multi-coded by orthogonal codes for transmitting data simultaneously. Then, each multi-level value of the multi-coded signal is converted to p...

This application note describes step-by-step design considerations for a power supply using the FAN480X controller. The FAN480X combines a PFC controller and a PWM controller. The PFC controller employs average current mode control for Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) boost converter in the front end. The PWM controller can be used in either current mode or voltage mode for the downstream conve...

Multilevel voltage source inverter has been recognized as an important alternative to the normal two level voltage source inverter, especially in high power application. Using multilevel technique, the output voltage amplitude is increased, switching devices stress is reduced and the overall harmonics profile is improved. Three presentable topologies can b considered for multilevel inverter (ML...

In this paper we propose a suitable reference wave for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) AC Drives. Staircase reference waves whose levels are calculated to eliminate certain harmonics are studied and a certain staircase reference waveform with L levels is constructed. When L is made very large in limit, this staircase waveform approaches a continuous one which is called Quasine (Quasi + Sine). This...
