In this work modelling of the power consumption for ripple-carry adders implemented in CMOS is considered. Based on the switching activity of each input bit, two switching models, one full and one simplified, are derived. These switching models can be used to derive the average energy consumed for one computation. This work extends previous results by introducing a data dependent power model, i...

The effort to obtain ever-increasing power density of switched-mode power supply has been limited by the size of passive components. Operation at higher frequencies considerably reduces the size of passive components, such as transformers and filters; however, switching losses have been an obstacle to high-frequency operation. To reduce switching losses and allow high-frequency operation, reson...

Power semiconductor manufacturers are offering IGBT modules with ever greater power densities. The limit is represented by the maximum power loss that can be dissipated; optimisation criteria are the packaging technology as well as the conduction and switching losses of the semiconductor chips. The high current density of the modules together with high switching speeds place increased demands o...

The inherent nature of normal boost converter has more voltage stress across the power electronics switch and ripple. The presented formation of the front end rectifier stage for a photovoltaic (PV) organization is mainly used to give the supply. Further increasing of the solar efficiency is achieved by connecting the zero voltage soft switching boost converter. The zero voltage boost converter...

The charge/discharge phenomenon of capacitance between terminals in a power MOSFET affects on its switching behavior of the device. The input capacitance is composed of the gate-source capacitance CGS and the gate-drain capacitance CGD, which vary with gate voltage VGS. This paper characterizes the relationship between the input capacitance of a SiC MOSFET and the gate voltage with considering ...

This work proposes a direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter with high transmission range and efficiency for audio signals. It is shown that by choosing high process gain for spread spectrum signal the data could reach a range of 55km in the 2.4GHz ISM band. By employing a light modulation scheme, we have a relaxed SNR requirement for having a low bit error rate (BER) which translates to re...

Linear AC power supplies can be replaced by their nonlinear switching counterparts due to the lower voltage drops and higher efficiency and power density of switching-mode inverters. Multilevel cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters are the preferred inverter structure because of modular configuration, control, and protection. The output voltage quality in CHB converters depends on the number of ou...

due to the high efficiency and low switching losses of resonant power convertors in comparison with switching convertors, nowadays there is a growing trend towards these convertors. however, because of the high frequency of switching in such convertors, it is quite difficult to present an efficient control method. in this paper, based on the state feedback method and using pole placement techni...
