In this paper, a Y-shaped power splitter based on a two dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) for TE modes is designed and optimized. A triangular lattice of air holes is used for Y-shaped power divider. For analyzing these structures, plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods are used. The simulation results show that more than 98% of the input power is transmitt...

What do you do to start reading thermal and power management of integrated circuits? Searching the book that you love to read first or find an interesting book that will make you want to read? Everybody has difference with their reason of reading a book. Actuary, reading habit must be from earlier. Many people may be love to read, but not a book. It's not fault. Someone will be bored to open th...

This paper will review the typical gate drive requirements for the latest generation of high power IGBT modules and present simplified implementations of the required circuits using newly developed hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) building blocks. A newly developed circuit that provides short circuit protection without desaturation detection will also be presented.
