This paper investigates the switching performances of two state-of-the-art half-bridge SiC MOSFET modules using a standard double pulse test methodology. A deliberate choice of the modules with the same voltage and current ratings, the same packaging, but different stray inductances and capacitances is made in order to give an insight into the influence of parasitics in the switching transients and...
The paper deals with a single-phase induction machine operating as a stand-alone self-excited single-phase induction generator for generation of electrical energy from renewably energy sources. By changing number of turns and size of wires in the auxiliary stator winding, considerable improvement of performance characteristics of the generator were obtained as regards no-load and load voltage of the...
A novel quadratic buck-boost DC/DC converter is presented in this study. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switch and can step-up/down the input voltage, while the existing single switch quadratic buck/boost converters can only work in step-up or step-down mode. First, the proposed converter is analyzed in steady-state. Then, its performance is validated using simulations in MATLAB/Simulink...

This work proposes a new gate driver circuit which utilizes hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs) for high-resolution panels. By using one TFT to separate the output node from the capacitor in the gate driver circuit, the driving TFT can remain high speed to pull down the output signal. Simulation results verify that the falling time reduces over 20% without enlarging...
Recent years, multilevel inverters have become more attractive for researchers due to low total harmonic distortion (THD) in the output voltage and low electromagnetic interference (EMI). This paper proposes a three-phase cascaded H-bridge quasi-switched-boost inverter (CHB-qSBI). The advantages of the proposed inverter are as follows: buck-boost voltage with single stage power conversion, reduced...
This paper discusses the dead-time effect of dual bridge series resonant DC/DC converter (DBSRC). The phase-shift modulation is usually adopted in DBSRC. However, the phase-shift angle is usually small, and voltage polarity reversal (VPR) may occur in dead-time, which may deteriorate EMI/EMC and increase loss. This paper analyzes the commutation of DBSRC when VPR occurs and proposes a method to eliminate...
Intermediate coils are used in wireless power transfer to improve system performance, such as power transfer capability and efficiency. However, they can have adverse effects if used improperly. This paper focuses on the coil coupling stage of three-coil series-compensated wireless power transfer systems and analyses the effects of the intermediate coil under different conditions. When the coupling...

By operating the IADC and the counting logic alternatively within two clock phases, the proposed scheme finishes a full conversion within fewer conversion cycles. The only additional circuitry for the parallel counting is a single comparator, much less than the add-ons in other multi-step...

The power delivery network (PDN) must undergo a sequence of verification steps throughout the integrated circuit (IC) design flow.
