Shorts and opens are the most common types of catastrophic defects in today's CMOS ICs. In this paper we show that an open in the interconnect wiring of a digital CMOS circuit, which permanently disconnects inputs of logic gates from their driver, can cause oscillation or sequential behavior. We present supporting experimental data collected by creating an interconnect open in a manufactured ch...

• The on-chip op amp of the PIC16F785 is used to amplify the voltage across the current sensing resistor. This allows a much smaller sensing resistor to be used and reduces power dissipation. • The PIC16HV785 device can be used, which eliminates the requirement for an external 5V regulator when operating from higher supply voltages. • This application has unused analog resources which could be ...

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are current driven devices. So, it is essential to maintain the stability of LED voltage and current. Variation temperature may cause instabilities bifurcations in driver. Driving LEDs from an offline power source faces design challenges like have low harmonics input current, achieve high factor, efficiency constant ensure long lifetime. This paper proposes techniqu...

Piezoelectric transducers are known to exhibit less hysterisis when driven with current or charge rather than voltage. Despite this advantage, such methods have found little practical application due to the poor low frequency response of present current and charge driver designs. This paper introduces a new circuit topology free from low-frequency drift and DC load offsets. The hybrid load feed...

This article describes a new multipurpose Silicone-Carbide (SiC) Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) driver, which was designed and manufactured for high frequency operating SiC transistor as semiconductor switching device of power converters. The design the introduced driver enables to adjust output voltage levels easily by choosing integrated linear stabilizers with sui...

A three-phase induction motor is an electrical machine that can be used for many industrial applications. driver circuit, also known as a three-wire series circuit or delta power system. These motors typically rely on supplied using electric cables, which carry alternating currents. The inverter simple consisting of three half-wave rectifiers, are connected in bridge. When the input voltage lev...
