This paper presents a single-stage ZVT full-bridge AC/DC converter for aerospace applications. The detailed operating principle and design consideration of this soft-switched converter are analyzed and described. The proposed circuit topology and control scheme are proposed to exhibit optimum performances (i.e. high power factor, high efficiency, ring-free and low EMI features). A laboratory pr...

In this paper a novel very high performance current mirror is presented. It favorably benefits from such excellent parameters as: Ultra high output resistance (36.9GΩ), extremely low input resistance (0.0058Ω), low output (~0.18V) and low input voltage (~0.18V) operation, very low power consumption (20μW), very low offset current (1pA), ultra wide current dynamic range (150dB), and ultra high a...

The task of a high-level behavioural synthesis system is to create a structure to implement a given abstract specification of behaviour. The behaviour is specified at the algorithmic level, typically in the form of a high-level programming language. The synthesized structure is described at the register-transfer level. In such systems the synthesis task is guided only by the behaviour and some ...

The U.S. Army is examining new and evolutionary concepts for military vehicles for their future force. In particular, drive-by-wire technology coupled with non-standard driving control devices have the potential to lead to improved driving performance, reduced Soldier training time, crash prevention, smaller vehicle space claims, and improved vehicle safety in military vehicles. However, severa...

this paper presents a detailed small-signal and transient analysis of a full bridge pwm dc-dc converter designed for high voltage, high power applications using an average model. the derived model is implemented in a typical system and used to produce the small-signal and transient characteristics of the converter. results obtained in the analysis of the high voltage and high power design examp...
