A DC bus voltage ripple suppression method based on super-capacitor (SC) was proposed under unbalanced load. Firstly, the influence of unbalanced load on DC microgrid was analyzed. And then, depending on the mathematical model of the SC compensation device, current control strategy of the SC was designed using the sliding mode control (SMC) to precisely track the pulsating current. Furthermore, parameters...
This paper proposes dynamic ramp control in current-mode adaptive on-time control for Buck converter on chip. It improves system stability and reduces output voltage at the load release. The concept of dynamic ramp control uses sample and hold circuit, comparator, and ramp valley control circuit adjusted according to the varied ramp signal to avoid the generation of an error pulse signal to regulate...
A linear constant current light-emitting diode (LED) driver without off-chip inductor and capacitor is presented in this paper. The proposed driver consists of one resistor, one diode bridge and one controller integrated circuits (IC). The controller IC employs four LED strings and sequences their conduction to shape the output current in proportion to the input voltage. The controller IC was designed...
In this paper, a single-phase voltage-doubler with mismatched capacitors that converts a single-phase AC voltage to two balanced DC output voltages is proposed. It is based on a half-bridge rectifier and consists of two legs: one rectification leg to convert the AC voltage to DC output voltage and one neutral leg to split the DC output voltage into two balanced DC output voltages. Moreover, under...
This paper proposes an online DC-link capacitor condition monitoring scheme for electric vehicles. Capacitance of both electrolytic and metallized polypropylene film (MPPF) capacitors decreases as the capacitors deteriorates, so that the proposed scheme utilizes the capacitance as the parameter of diagnosis of the DC-link capacitor. Every time the drive system of electric vehicles is turned on and...
One problem with a single-voltage source, three-level inverter is the drafting of its neutral-point voltage. This may occur during transition or when unbalanced loads are connected to the inverter system. Variation of neutral-point voltage may greatly deteriorate the power quality. In this paper, we employ an equivalent-input-disturbance approach to deal with this problem. By adding an extra neutral...
This paper will discuss the design and implementation of an integrated circuit controller for the development of a three phase reactive power compensator. An integrated circuit approach is desired as it provides for a more streamlined and economically advantageous design to reactive power compensation. Various methods are available to compensate reactive power levels utilizing different sources of...
A delay-locked loop of multi-band selector with wide-locking range and low power dissipation is presented. The architecture of the proposed delay-locked loop consists of phase frequency detector, charge pump, band selector, multi-control delay line, and start-up circuit. The multi-band selector is used to extend operation frequency of delay-locked loop by switching the multi-control delay line. The...
Class D amplifiers are becoming the most feasible solution for embedded audio application. However, distortions due to the non-linear nature of switching stage are the main drawback for this amplifier topology. This paper discusses the design and implementation of high fidelity audio class D using sliding mode control scheme. This design method proves to be a cost effective solution for industrial...
A high intercept points, cost-effective, and power-efficient switching FET double balanced mixer (DBM) is reported. The Switching FET DBM demonstrated in this work offers input intercept points (IIP3) and conversion loss typically 44 dBm and 8.5 dB respectively with 15 dBm LO power for the frequency band (RF: 900-2150 MHz, LO: 850-1950 MHz, IF: 50-200 MHz). The measured interport isolation is typically...
