A simple odd number frequency divider with 50% duty cycle is presented. The odd number frequency divider consists of a general odd number counter and the proposed duty cycle trimming circuit. The duty cycle trimming circuit can output 50% duty cycle with only additional six transistors. A prototype divide-by-5 circuit with 50% duty cycle was implemented for a 500-Mb/s ∼ 5.6-Gb/s 1:10 CDR/DEMUX ...

BACKGROUND Sustained compression is recommended to maximize myocardial and cerebral blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in adults and children. We compared myocardial and cerebral perfusion during CPR in three groups of 2-week-old anesthetized swine using compression rates and duty cycles (duration of compression/total cycle time) of 100 per minute, 60%; 100 per minute, 30%; a...

A new fuzzy maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems is proposed. Fuzzy controller input parameters dI dP , ) dI dP ( D and variation of duty cycle ( DC D ) are used to generate the optimal MPPT converter duty cycle, such that solar panel maximum power is generated under different operating conditions. A photovoltaic system including a solar panel, a fuzzy MPP tracker and...

this study is focused on investigating the parameters of laser percussion drilling process of nickel-base super alloy inconel 718 with thickness of 1 mm. fiber laser with the power of 500 watts was used as the laser source. laser pulse frequency, duty cycle, laser power, focal point position, were assumed as the laser drilling process variables. the hole geometry features, i.e. entrance hole di...

This paper presents a study of the relationship between Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) parameters on the EDM efficiency factors using a full factorial design, based on pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity parameters in EDM machining of AISI H13 tool steel. The results show that, in positive polarity, the plasma flushing efficiency and pulse efficiency increase according to the puls...

This concise presents a Modified Successive Approximation Register (MSAR)-based duty cycle corrector (DCC), which achieves low jitter, fast lock time with an accurate 50% duty cycle correction. This Modified SAR adopts a binary search method to condense lock time while maintaining tight synchronization between effort and production clocks. The projected DCC consists of a duty-cycle detector, a ...

In this paper, a generalized buck-boost Z-H converter based on switched inductors is proposed. This structure consists of a set of series connected switched-inductor cells. The voltage conversion ratio of the proposed structure is adjusted by changing the number of cells and the duty cycle. Like the conventional Z-H converter, the shoot-through switching state and the diode before LC network ar...

A wide-range all-digital duty-cycle corrector (ADDCC) with output clock phase alignment is presented in this paper. The proposed ADDCC can correct the duty-cycle error of the input clock to 50% duty-cycle. The acceptable duty-cycle range and frequency range of input clock is from 20% to 80% and from 250MHz to 1GHz, respectively. The proposed ADDCC is implemented on a standard performance 65 nm ...

Most of sensor MAC protocols have a fixed duty cycle, which performs poorly under the dynamic traffic condition observed in eventdriven sensor applications such as surveillance, fire detection, and objecttracking system. This paper proposes a traffic-aware MAC protocol which dynamically adjusts the duty cycle adapting to the traffic load. Our adaptive scheme operates on a tree topology, and nod...

Work and heat production of white myotomal muscle fibres from dogfish were measured during sinusoidal movement (0.71-5.0 Hz) at 12 C. Stimulus phase (stimulus timing relative to movement) and duty cycle (stimulus duration as a fraction of movement cycle duration) were varied to determine the parameters optimal for power output and for efficiency (work/total energy output). Movements of 0.067 an...
