This paper presents several techniques to synthesize logic circuits for low power based on split BDDs. The objective is to generate 2-input multiplexer circuits with reduced switching activity, since switching activity is an important contribution to power dissipation. Keywords— switching activity, BDDs, cofactor.

High-power converters based on elementary switching cells are more and more used in the industry of power electronics owing to various advantages such as lower voltage stress and reduced power loss. However, the complexity of controlling such converters is a major challenge that the power manufacturing industry has to face with. The synthesis of industrial switching controllers relies today on ...

The resonant power conversion having many advantages over conventionally adopted pulse width modulation that includes a high efficiency, low electromagnetic interference, small volume, low switching losses, and light weight of components due to a high switching frequency, and low reverse recovery losses in diodes owing to a low di/dt at switching instant. This paper presents the doubly loaded r...

In this paper, an interleaved soft switching boost converter for a Photovoltaic Power Conditioning System (PV-PCS) with high efficiency is proposed. In order to raise the efficiency of the proposed converter, a 2-phase interleaved boost converter integrated with soft switching cells is used. All of the switching devices in the proposed converter achieve zero current switching (ZCS) or zero volt...

Most power converters and equipments are developed to have power factor correction technology to improve their performance. A soft-switching two-switch resonant ACDC converter with hi...

Low power VLSI testing is indispensible in switching components and number of hardware/software-based techniques has been still developed to minimize the dynamic power dissipation. In earlier days, primary concerns of VLSI design were focused in area, performance, cost and reliability. But in current years, the design constraints have begun to change because of increasing low power testing. XOR...

power system overvoltages due to switching, lightning and other disturbances are the main problem for designers of the power transformers. once some frequencies of the incoming surges match with some of the natural frequencies of transformer winding, the resonance phenomenon is expected in transformer winding. the resonant overvoltages may destroy the insulation between turns and cause to insul...

The present-day and potential benefits of highly integrated miniaturized applications like wireless micro-sensors and biomedical implants in military, space, medical, and commercial markets fuel the demand for self-sustaining micro-electronic systems. Extending operational life to practical levels in such volume-constrained environments is difficult because space limits energy and power. Althou...
