On-chip spiral inductors with variable line width layouts are known for their high quality factor (Q-factor). In this paper, we present an analytical approach to facilitate the design of such inductors. Based on analysis ohmic and eddy-current losses, first derive formula metal resistance calculation a inductor. By minimizing resistance, simple equation finding proper each coil is then presente...

Power quality in terms of power factor, THD and precisely regulated output voltage are the major key factors for efficient operation of power electronic converters. This paper presents an easy and effective active wave shaping control scheme for the pulsed input current drawn by the uncontrolled diode bridge rectifier thereby achieving power factor nearer to unity and also satisfying the THD sp...

A zero-ripple input current is known to improve the lifetime of battery sets and fuel cells assure maximum power point tracking in PV panels. To perform ripple elimination a floating interleaved boost converter (FIBC), one typical linear inductors substituted by variable inductor, phases have complementary duty cycles. This inductor controlled using switched current-source converter, which adju...

We show how to build an inductorless version of the classic Chua’s circuit. The goal is to build Chua’s circuit quickly and easily. To this end, only off-the-shelf components are used. A suitable inductor for Chua’s circuit is often hard to procure. Here, the inductor is replaced by a single op-amp synthetic inductor circuit. The synthetic inductor is novel in the sense that it is not a gyrator...
