Abstract—A novel circuit for generating a signal embedded with features about data from three sensors is presented. This suggested circuit is making use of a resistance-to-time converter employing a bridge amplifier, an integrator and a comparator. The second resistive sensor (Rz) is transformed into duty cycle. Another bridge with varying resistor, (Ry) in the feedback of an OP AMP is added in...

in this paper, a novel approach for control of the dc-dc buck converter in high-power and low-voltage applications is proposed. designed method is developed according to state feedback linearization based controller , which is able to stabilize output voltage in a wide range of operation. it is clear that in high-power applications, parasitic elements of the converter may become comparable with...

RELIABILITY MODELING AND RESULTS* P. Bellomo, A. Donaldson, D. MacNair, SLAC, Stanford, CA 94309, USA Abstract The B-Factory is a high-energy physics facility for studying matter versus anti-matter asymmetry. It utilizes 200 Intermediate DC power systems, employing 2.5 to 17kW switchmode converters, to supply beam-shaping magnets with regulated current. Redundancy and modularity were considered...

This application note explains various ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) characterization parameters given in the datasheets and how they effect ADC measurements. It also describes how to measure these parameters during application testing in production and how to perform run-time compensation for some of the measured deviations. A great advantage with the Flash memory of the Atmel AVR is that ...

Time interleaved A/D converters (ADCs) can be used to increase the sample rate of an ADC system. However, a problem with time interleaved ADCs is that distortion is introduced in the output signal due to various mismatch errors between the ADCs. One way to decrease the impact of the mismatch errors is to introduce additional ADCs in the interleaved structure and randomly select an ADC at each s...

A novel integrated single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) buck converter with peak current common-mode and the two output voltage ripples comparison differential-mode control method in continuous conduction mode is presented. The system can use only one inductor to provide two independent output voltages, 1.2V and 1.8V, with a maximum total output current 460mA. The proposed converter has been fabr...

The Trading Agent Competition (TAC) Supply Chain Management (SCM) game presents trading agents with several difficult scheduling decisions. Each agent must decide how to build and deliver goods across multiple time periods in the presence of uncertain information about the environment. Stochastic programming (SP) is suggested as a natural, adaptable, and robust solution to scheduling in stochas...

Residue Number System is a kind of numerical systems that uses the remainder of division in several different moduli. Conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers will increase the speed of the arithmetic operations in this system. However, the main factor that affects performance of system is hardware complexity of reverse converter. Reverse co...

This article presents methods and circuits for synthesizing test signals in the time/frequency domain. An arbitrary signal is first encoded using sigma–delta modulation in the digital amplitude-domain and converted to the time or frequency domain through a digital-to-time converter (DTC) or digital-to-frequency converter (DFC) operation realized in software. In hardware, the resulting bit-strea...

background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...
