This paper presents an alternate quasi-resonant dc link (QRDCL) circuit for soft switched inverters which does not require paralleling of a charged capacitor with another charged capacitor or a voltage source. The circuit momentarily pulls down the DC link voltage to zero as commandled by the control circuit to facilitate zero voltage switching (ZVS) of inverter devices. Operation of this circu...

This paper presents the design of a low-power voltage reference, bias current and the supply voltage for a 9-bit fully differential ADC.

An on-chip process, supply voltage, and temperature (PVT) compensation technique for low-voltage CMOS digital circuits was proposed. Because the degradation of circuit performance originates from the variation of the saturation current in transistors, we developed a compensation circuit consisting of a reference current that is independent of PVT variations. The circuit is operated so that the ...
