SiC-MOSFETs have attracting increasing attention because of their outstanding characteristics that contributes to high efficiency and high power density of power converters. However, compared to conventional Si-IGBTs, SiC-MOSFETs are susceptible to false triggering, because they tend to generate large switching noise due to ultrafast switching capability and have a lower threshold voltage in high...
Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs have been widely studied in high frequency applications. The switching performance, however, is limited with the existence of the parasitic elements. One critical issue is the susceptibility of the gate-source voltage to the parasitic elements, rendering the possibility of spurious operation of the SiC MOSFETs. This paper conducts comprehensive investigations on the impact...
The following paper presents an approach to gate charge control of a MOSFET used in low-side drive motor applications using pulse width modulation (PWM). Without gate charge control, ringing caused by di/dt effects on turn-on and dv/dt effects during the turn-off can result in narrowband radiated EMI that is very difficult to suppress. Suppressing narrowband EMI through the addition of suppression...
This paper discusses the problems which are the power consumption of gate drive circuit and voltage oscillation of source-to-gate voltage in the power converters using high-frequency power devices. The circuit parameters design were executed in terms of (i) power consumption of the gate drive circuit at FET and (ii) voltage oscillation of source-to-gate voltage at FET. As for (i), it is confirmed...
As the most attractive candidates for post-CMOS era, single-electronic transistors (SETs) can potentially deliver high device density and power efficiency at good speed. SET with suspended-gate has many more unique merits. Reconfigurable logic gate based on suspended-gate SET is designed, which can efficiently make use of the tunable coulomb oscillation and NEMS gate capacitances. The simulation result...
Switching regulator is used in many electronics devices because of its small size and low power consumption. Sawtooth wave is one of the important components of the switching regulator and determines the accuracy of the duty ratio of the switching regulator. When the sawtooth wave has fall time, the duty ratio has an error. In this paper, method to realize sawtooth wave generator which has slight...
Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) is an important issue for the design and test and actual ICs. In particular, SSN that originates from the internal logic circuitry becomes a serious problem as the speed and density of the internal circuit increase. In this paper, an on-chip monitor is proposed to detect potential logic errors in digital circuits due to the presence of SSN. This monitor checks the...
Polymorphic gates can be considered as a new reconfigurable technology capable of integrating logic functions with sensing in a single compact structure. Polymorphic gates whose logic function can be controlled by the level of the power supply voltage (Vdd) represent a special class of polymorphic gates. A new polymorphic NAND/NOR gate controlled by Vdd is presented. This gate was fabricated and utilized...
This paper presents an analytical modeling of ballistic and quasi-ballistic transport, implemented in Verilog-A environment and used for circuit simulation. Our model is based on the Lundstrompsilas approach and uses an expression of the backscattering coefficient given by the flux method. The model takes also into account short channel effects and tales into account the effects of different scattering...
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...
