A novel single active switch two-diodes highvoltage converter is presented. This converter can operate into a capacitor-diode voltage multiplier, which offers simpler structure and control, higher efficiency, reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI), and size and weight savings compared with traditional switched-mode regulated voltage multipliers. Two significant advantages are the continuous...

Abstract – In this paper an Improved Zero Voltage Zero Current Pulse Width Modulation Forward converter which employs a simple resonance snubber circuit is introduced. A simple snubber circuit consists of a capacitor, an inductor and two diodes. In proposed converter, switch Q1 operates at ZCS turn-on, and ZVS turn-off conditions and all-passive semiconductor devices operate at ZVZCS turn-on an...

This paper describes a 12-bit 100kS/s successive approximation register analog-todigital converter (SAR ADC) for biomedical system. Both top-plate sampling technique and VCM-based switching technique are applied to the capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) to implement a 12-bit SAR ADC with 10-b capacitor array DAC. To enhance the linearity of proposed ADC, thermometer decoder is used in...

SUMMARY A multiple-input switched-capacitor DC-DC converter which can realize long battery runtime is proposed in this letter. Unlike conventional converters for a back-lighting application, the proposed converter drives some LEDs by converting energy from solar cells. Furthermore , the proposed converter can charge a lithium battery when an output load is light. The validity of circuit design ...

A novel digitally programmable floating impedance converter circuit is realized using two CMOS digitally programmable differential voltage current conveyors and three grounded passive elements.

The neutral beam injection generate ultra-high temperature energy in the tokamak of nuclear fusion. The neutral beam injection make up arc power supply, filament power supply and acceleration & deceleration power supply. The arc power supply has characteristics of low voltage and high current. Arc power supply generate arc through constant output of voltage and current. So this paper proposed s...

Feedforward and multiple-feedback A/D converters offer high-resolution, but are susceptible to instability in the presence of capacitor tolerances in a corresponding switchedcapacitor (SC) hardware implementation. The hitherto A/D converters are usually based on, a) complementary signal and noise transfer functions, and/or b) unitcircle noise transfer function zeros. This paper is concerned wit...

This paper compares four converter topologies for the implementation of flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) controllers: three multilevel topologies (multipoint clamped (MPC), chain, and nested cell) and the well-established multipulse topology. In keeping with the need to implement very-high-power inverters, switching frequency is restricted to line frequency. The study addresses device co...

This paper proposes a new converter topology that interfaces four ports: two sources, one bi-directional storage port and one isolated load port. In order to improve the efficiency of energy conversion, a sot switching boost converter using a simple auxiliary resonant circuit(SARC) which is composed of an auxiliary switch, a diode, a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor is adopted. The co...
