چکیده
A simple and novel design for a current comparator is proposed. The proposed current comparator utilizes the concept of adjustment of switching threshold voltage of an inverter employed in the circuit design to develop a reference current for the purpose of current comparison. The proposed circuit was simulated using 0.18 μm TSMC CMOS technology and satisfactory results were obtained.

An 11-Bit Single-Ended SAR ADC with an Inverter-Based Comparator for Design Automation
This paper proposes a low power single-ended successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to replace the only analog active circuit, the comparator, with a digital circuit, which is an inverter-based comparator. The replacement helps possible design automation. The inverter threshold voltage variation impact is minimal because an SAR ADC has only one comparator, and...
متن کاملDifferent Methods for Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor Fed From Current Source Inverter
Two different methods for direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor fed from current source inverter (CSI) is analyzed in the paper. The first one is derived from well-known DTC strategy developed for voltage inverter drives. This type of control basically uses hysteresis type controllers for torque and flux. In CSI drive there is only one controller used for torque control loop. The probl...
