• Turn-off transients do not pose significant problem on most spacecraft ▪ Open-circuit potential can be high, but very short duration ▪ Easily “snubbed” with modest amount of capacitance on load input filters or at distribution point ▪ Eliminated with large filter capacitor at distribution point (if used) ▪ CS06 positive-going pulse need not be applied ▪ Even if open-circuit large magnitude, short...
In Indonesia, there are many capacitor bank installed to regulate the nominal voltage. Currently, the Recovery Voltage (RV) data related to the capacitor bank switching is unavailable, whereas this data is very important to analyze Circuit Breaker (CB) performance to understand whether it will success to interrupt the current or not. In addition, if the CB cannot retain the RV, it will degrade the...
This paper presents a calibration scheme for reference error caused by signal dependent switching transient in a high speed SAR ADC. The scheme has a little hardware overhead, which is not dependent on the type of the input signal and is able to run in the background without interrupting the ADC's normal operation. The calibration along with the SAR ADC are implemented in a 65 nm CMOS and the measurement...
This paper discusses a technique to simplify dynamic tests of power supplies. The technique is based on the injection of an external signal into the feedback loop of a dc-dc regulator, which makes it operating as a dynamic load, if connected to the output of the power supply under test, or as a dynamic source, if connected to its input. The technique allows to easily observe load/line transient response...
As memory speed goes up higher and I/O counts continue to increase, simulations estimating SSN-induced jitter are necessary for timing quality [1]. Traditional SSN-induced jitter simulation for high-density I/O designs normally calculates transient noise from multiple aggressors on one victim in one time domain simulation. Multiple number of simulations are required to ensure the signal pin with worst...
Four factors impact high speed switching of silicon carbide (SiC) devices in voltage source converters, including limited gate driving capability, cross-talk, parasitics associated in switching loop, and parasitics of inductive load. This paper focuses on a solution to mitigate the adverse impact of the aforementioned factors. First, an intelligent gate drive is developed for gate driving capability...
This paper focuses on understanding the key impacting factors for switching speed of wide bandgap (WBG) devices in a voltage source converter. First, the constraints and challenges of WBG devices during fast switching transients are summarized. Special attention is given to the transient gate-source and drain-source voltages. Second, the impacts of major components in voltage source converter, including...
Double pulse test (DPT) is a widely accepted method to evaluate the switching characteristics of semiconductor switches, including SiC devices. However, the observed switching performance of SiC devices in a PWM inverter for induction motor drives (IMD) is almost always worse than the DPT characterization, with slower switching speed, more switching losses, and more serious parasitic ringing. This...
High Impedance Fault (HIF) has long been a challenging problem in network protection. This is because of its difficulty to be detected and discriminated accurately and reliably. In real cases, arcing is usually associated with HIFs. In this paper, arcing currents are produced by setting up a HV experiment. Normal switching transients are also produced by simulation or experiment. They are then analysed...
Switching voltage regulator (VR) modeling has numerous advantages over the conventional state average VR modeling methodology, in terms of accuracy, functionality, tuning capability, and extended applications on EMI. In previous work, switching VR modeling based on Pspice was discussed [1]. However, it is fairly accurate with simulation time limited by circuit complexity and often results in convergence...
Switched-capacitor (SC) converters are gaining popularity due to their high power density and suitability for on-chip integration. Soft-charging techniques can be used to eliminate the current transient during the phase switching instances, and improve the power density and efficiency of SC converters. In this paper, we propose a split-phase control scheme that enables the Dickson converter to achieve...
Datacenter power consumption makes up two percent of United States electricity consumption or 80TWhr. Roughly half of this energy is spent on cooling or lost in power conversion. Further as datacenters try to maximize compaction, the need for small and highly efficient power supplies is highlighted. Telecom power supplies often rely on large and lossy transformers to achieve large conversion ratios...
The simultaneous switching noise (SSN) from single-ended signaling I/O interfaces is significant when there are multiple channels transmitting data in parallel. The memory interfaces use the single-ended signaling scheme where the power delivery noise spectrum may coincide with some critical radio bands or resonance frequencies within the platform depending on the bit pattern being transmitted from...
Distribution transformers operating in modern system grids or in industrial networks are subjected to many switching transients. They may occur due to routine operations, network reconfigurations or reaction on protection signals. Depending on the network configuration and parameters such events my lead to external overvoltages and result in additional stresses on the insulation system. The paper...
The increasing penetration of generation power plants based on renewable energies in the electrical networks has boosted the number of systems connected to the grid. In this scenario the microgrid, providing advanced functionalities to improve the stability and operation of the network, have become very popular. In this paper a control strategy for the microgrid management is presented. The proposed...
An improved definition of target impedance is proposed in this paper, which is derived from the time-domain waveforms of the IC transient current and the allowable voltage fluctuation. The proposed target impedance removes the unnecessary constraint in the original definition and allows for more cost-effective power distribution network (PDN) designs for consumer electronic products. A measurement...
New approach to high impedance fault detection, which allows for detecting it basing on yet some random arcing at the beginning of the fault, is presented in this paper. The proposed solution was developed within novel protection methodology — 3D power protection scheme (3DPPS). The identification of the fault is based on monitoring of symmetry deviations of three phase voltage or current signals...
Transformers operating in power networks are exposed to surges occurring during switching operations. Connecting and disconnecting transformers using Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) generate high frequency transients which can result in overstressing the insulation system. ATP/EMTP simulations of transients generated during the operation of a VCB switching were presented in this paper. During simulations...
Analysis of transient behavior is important for class E amplifier because high peak switch voltage may be imposed to the transistor in the transient response. However, transient behavior of class E amplifier due to load variation was not analyzed yet. In this paper, transient behavior of a class E amplifier due to load variation is simulated with PSPICE. As a result, it is found that a high transient...
