Multiport interferometers based on integrated beamsplitter meshes are widely used in photonic technologies. While the rectangular mesh is favored for its compactness and uniformity, geometry resists conventional self-configuration approaches, which essential to programming large presence of fabrication error. Here, we present a configuration algorithm, related $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi...

In this paper, an overview of recent advances in digital control of lowto medium-power dc-dc switching converters is presented. Traditionally, analog electronics methods have dominated in controlling such dc-dc converters. However, with the steadily decreasing cost of ICs, the feasibility of digitally controlled dc-dc switching converters has increased significantly. This paper outlines a sampl...

In this paper a repetitive control (RC) approach to improve current sharing between parallel-connected boost converters in DC microgrids is presented. The impact of changes in line impedance on current sharing is investigated. A repetitive controller is designed and connected in series with current controller of the boost converters to control the switching signals such that by regulating of th...

Power electronics represent a large and important class of hybrid systems, as modern digital computers and many other systems rely on their correct operation. In this benchmark description, we model three DC-toDC switched-mode power converters as hybrid automata with continuous dynamics specified by linear ordinary differential equations. A DC-toDC converter transforms a DC source voltage from ...

Multiple output DC-DC converters are widely used in many applications such as aerospace, industrial and medical equipments. The purpose of this paper is to present an intelligent control system for the multiple output DC-DC converters. In order to perform this purpose, a double ended forward DC-DC converter with three output voltages (+5 V/ 50W, +15 V/ 45W and -15 V/ 15W) is considered and anal...

Realistic multiport interferometers (beamsplitter meshes) are sensitive to component imperfections, and this sensitivity increases with size. Self-configuration techniques can be employed correct these but not all equal. This paper highlights the importance of algorithmic stability in self-configuration. Na\"{\i}ve approaches based on sequentially setting matrix elements unstable perform poorly...
