In this paper, we present an efficient approach for technology scaling of MOS analog circuits by using circuit optimization techniques. Our new method is based on matching equivalent circuit parameters between a previously designed circuit and the circuit undergoing redesign. This method has been applied to a MOS operational amplifier. We were able to produce a redesigned circuit with almost th...

Hysteresis motors are self starting brushless synchronous motors which are being used widely due to their interesting features. Accurate modeling of the motors is crucial to successful investigating the dynamic performance of them. The hysteresis loops of the material used in the rotor and their influences on the parameters of the equivalent circuit are necessary to be taken into considerat...

Abstract: The application of electric field theory to widely different aspects of electrical insulation has led to more understanding the phenomena. Electric fields may be considered as the main reason for insulation failure. The purpose of this paper is to modify importance of analyzing electric field in insulation design. The SF6 circuit breaker is chosen as case study that encounters cri...

A time-delay chaotification approach can be applied to the Chua’s circuit by adding a small-amplitude time-delay feedback voltage to the circuit. The chaotic dynamics of this newly derived time-delay Chua’s circuit is studied by theoretical analysis, verified by computer simulations as well as by circuit experiments.

Wound-Rotor (WR) resolvers are the most widely used position sensors in applications with harsh environmental conditions. However, their performance is exposed to failure due to the high risk of short circuit (SC) fault. Although the output current of the resolver is negligible, its thin copper wires increase the probability of the short circuit fault. To avoid the propagation of the turn-to-tu...

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...
