A single chip Programmable AC to DC Power Converter, consisting of wide band gap SiC MOSFET and SiC diodes, has been proposed which converts high frequency ac voltage to a conditioned dc output voltage at user defined given power level. The converter has high conversion efficiency because of negligible reverse recovery current in SiC diode and SiC MOSFET. High frequency operation reduces the need of bigger size inductor. Lead inductors are enough to maintain current continuity. A complete electrical analysis, die area estimation and thermal analysis of the converter has been presented. It has been found that settling time and peak overshoot voltage across the device has reduced significantly when SiC devices are used with respect to Si devices. Reduction in peak overshoot also increases the converter efficiency. The total package substrate dimension of the converter circuit is only $5mm{\times}5mm$. Thermal analysis performed in the paper shows that these devices would be very useful for use as miniaturized power converters for load currents of up to 5-7 amp, keeping the package thermal conductivity limitation in mind. The converter is ideal for voltage requirements for sub-5 V level power supplies for high temperatures and space electronics systems.

본 논문에서는 12비트의 해상도와 65MHz의 변환속도를 가지면서 단일 3.3V의 공급전압으로 동작하는 전류 셀 매트릭스 구조의 CMOS D/A 변환기를 제안하였다. 설계된 CMOS D/A 변환기는 우수한 단조증가성과 빠른 정착시간을 가지는 전류 셀 매트릭스 구조의 장점을 이용하면서 기존의 D/A 변환기의 전류셀 간의 문턱전압의 부정합과 접지선의 전압 강하에 의한 오차를 감소시키기 위해 트리 구조 바이어스 회로, 대칭적 접지선 연결, 캐스코드 전류 스위치를 사용하여 구현되었다. 설계된 전류 셀 매트릭스 12비트 D/A 변환기를 $0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS n-well 공정을 이용하여 제작하였다. 제작된 DAC칩을 +3.3V 단일 공급전원을 이용하여 측정한 결과, 정착시간이 20nsec로써 50MHz의 변환속도와 35.6mW의 전력소모를 나타내었다. 또한 측정된 SNR, DNL은 각각 55 dB, ${\pm}0.5LSB$,${\pm}2LSB$를 나타내었다.

In this work, a highly linear video-speed CMOS current-mode digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is proposed. A newswitching scheme for the current cell matrix of the DAC simultaneously reduces graded and symmetrical errors to improve integral nonlinearities (INL). The proposed DAC is designed to operate at any supply voltage between 3V and 5V, and minimizes the glitch energy of analog outputs with degliching circuits developed in this work. The prototype dAC was implemented in a LG 0.8um n-well single-poly double-metal CMOS technology. Experimental results show that the differential and integral nonlinearities are less than .+-. LSB and .+-.0.8LSB respectively. The DAC dissipates 75mW at a 3V single power supply and occupies a chip area of 2.4 mm * 2.9mm.

A dP/dV feedback-controlled MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) method for photovoltaic power systems using II-SEPIC (Isolated Inverse-SEPIC; Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter) is presented and a current-mode dP/dV feedback-controlled MPPT method is devised to apply for the PV power converter system. A control strategy for the current-mode dP/dV feedback control system is developed in this paper and the proposed MPPT shows relatively satisfactory dynamics against rapidly changing insolation conditions. In order to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations and experiments of the PV power system using II-SEPlC converter are performed. These simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method enables the PV power system to extract maximum power from the photovoltaic module against the solar insolation variation.

This paper deals with the analysis of switched reluctance motor drives for different drive circuit topologies used in automobile. So we attempt to improve the weaknesses associated with the asymmetric bridge converter in the limited internal environment of automotive application. Two kinds of c-dump converters are tested in terms of dump capacitor voltage, speed response according to the variation of advance angle and efficiency for the radiator cooling-fan drive of an automobile. They enable more economical and efficient converter topology for automobile industries. This paper describes the performance characteristics of 12V-250W-3000rpm SRM drives for automotive application. Computer simulation and experiment results are then presented to verify the performance of the two kinds of c-dump converters.
