In this paper, a low power implicit type pulsed flip-flop (PFF) using self-driven pass transistor logic is presented. The pulse generation logic comprising of two transistor AND gate is used in the critical path of the design for improved speed and reduced complexity. The pass transistor logic driven by generated clock pulse is used directly to drive the output of the flip-flop. The proposed de...

The maturation in fabrication technologies of semiconductor integrated circuits results in rapidly shrinking technology node and aggressive scaling of voltage causes an increase in the probability of soft errors in advanced CMOS digital logic circuits. Many attempts to mitigate the soft errors ensue in significant cost penalties in terms of area, power and performance. The proposed method inten...

Nanosecond Pulsed Power provides the unique capability to deliver high energy and high power at low cost and high efficiency. One important application of this technology is to the generation of intense, highenergy laboratory X-ray sources using magnetically driven implosions. Saturn generates ~500 kilojoules of x-rays using this process. This paper presents a detailed design concept for a ~15 ...

A pulsed power generator based on a high-voltage Tesla transformer which charges a 3.85 Ω/55 ns water-filled pulse forming line to 300 kV has been developed at Loughborough University as a training tool for pulsed power students. The generator uses all forms of insulation specific to pulsed power technology, liquid (oil and water), gas (SF(6)), and magnetic insulation in vacuum, and a number of...

Pulsed power technology is used to produce transient MHD-regime plasmas having topology and dynamical behavior similar to solar and astrophysical plasmas. These plasmas are not exact scale models, but exhibit many behaviors similar to actual solar and astrophysical plasmas, for example, coUimation, kinking, and jet motion. These plasmas can also display an interaction between MHD-dynamics and n...

The fiber laser concept is proven technology for telecom applications where its single mode performance and reliability is essential. Newer generation diode-pumped fiber lasers are using pump diodes especially developed for telecom applications and therefore offer excellent controllability of the laser pulse length and pulse frequency. In recent years the output power of fiber lasers has increa...

Marx generators have been traditionally relegated as pulse-charging supplies for a variety of applications including the generation of High Power Microwaves, or RF energy. Compact models have served as suitable trigger generators for larger systems. However, recent work has demonstrated the compact Marx generators for directly generating RF energy. This paper discusses two compact Marx generato...
