This paper suggests a 3-phase series-resonant type high voltage capacitor charger for an EML pulsed power system. The operating principle on the charger is explained by an equivalent circuit. Additionally, we analyze the charging characteristic in one discontinuous conduction mode and three continuous conduction modes. The analysis shows that the resonant current per phase is two thirds of the 3-phase charger's average charging current and one third of the single-phase charger's average charging current with the same capacity. We suggest a design method of the 3-phase capacitor charger in each operational mode and present an example of 3.5 kW capacitor charger at ${\omega}_s=0.33{\omega}_r$. The 3.5 kW 3-phase capacitor charger prototype is assembled with a TI28335 controller and a 40 kJ, 7 kV capacitor. The design rules based on the analysis are verified by experiment.

The robust stack storage node and sufficient cell capacitance for high performance is indispensable for 90 nm DRAM capacitor. For the first time, we successfully demonstrated MIS capacitor process integration for 90 nm DRAM technology. Novel cell layout and integration technology of 90 nm DRAM capacitor is proposed and developed, and it can be extended to the next generation DRAM. Diamond-shaped OCS with 1.8 um stack height is newly developed for large capacitor area with better stability. Furthermore, the novel $Al_2O_3/HfO_2$ dielectric material with equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 25 ${\AA}$ is adopted for obtaining sufficient cell capacitance. The reliable cell capacitance and leakage current of MIS capacitor is obtained with ~26 fF/cell and < 1 fA/ceil by $Al_2O_3/HfO_2$ dielectric material, respectively.

This paper proposes a method to stabilize the output voltage of the secondary side of an Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) system through tuning/detuning via a serial tuned DC Voltage-controlled Variable Capacitor (DVVC). The equivalent capacitance of the DVVC changes with the conduction period of a diode in the DVVC controlled by DC voltage. The output voltage of an IPT system can be made constant when this DVVC is used as a variable resonant capacitor combined with a PI controller generating DC control voltage according to the fluctuations of the output voltage. Since a passive diode instead of an active switch is used in the DVVC, there are no active switch driving problems such as a separate voltage source or gate drivers, which makes the DVVC especially advantageous when used at the secondary side of an IPT system. Moreover, since the equivalent capacitance of the DVVC can be controlled smoothly with a DC voltage and the passive diode generates less EMI than active switches, the DVVC has the potential to be used at much higher frequencies than traditional switch mode capacitors.

In this study, the performance of a direct current (DC)-DC buck converter is analyzed in the presence of non-idealities in passive components and semiconductor devices. The effect of these non-idealities on the various design issues of a DC-DC buck converter is studied. An improved expression for duty cycle is developed to compensate the losses that occur because of the non-idealities. The design equations for inductor and capacitor calculation are modified based on this improved expression. The effect of the variation in capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) on output voltage ripple (OVR) is analyzed in detail. It is observed that the value of required capacitance increases with ESR. However, beyond a maximum value of ESR (r_c,max), the capacitor is unable to maintain OVR within a specified limit. The expression of r_c,max is derived in terms of specified OVR and inductor current ripple. Finally, these theoretical studies are validated through MATLAB simulation and experimental results.

Decoupling capacitors are commonly used to reduce the effect of SSN propagated through parallel power and ground planes in high-speed multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs). In this paper, we introduced a simple high frequency measurement and proposed a wideband (50 MHz ∼3 GHz) equivalent circuit model for decoupling capacitor considering high frequency parasitic effects. The proposed model can be easily combined with the SPICE model of power supply planes far SSN analysis. The circuit simulations with the proposed model show good agreement with the measurement results. Also, we expect to accurately analyze the noise reduction effect as a function of value and location using the proposed model of decoupling capacitor.

This paper presents a speed control method for the capacitor-run induction motor. The equivalent circuit of the motor is analyzed using the forward(Positive sequence) and backward(negative sequence) components, and simple circuit equations are obtained. Simulations for the speed control are performed by adjusting the voltage magnitude of the auxiliary winding. A prototype system has been implemented which consists of an inverter and a controller with TMS320C31 digital signal processor. The experimental results using 1/4hp capacitor-run induction motor show a good agreement with analyses.

A single-phase induction motor with it's stator winding splitted into two series windings, of which the terminals of one winding is switched pulsationally by a thyristor type ON-OFF device so that the motor may operate as a pulsational shaded-pole motor, can modulate current waveforms of it's two series windings. In view of current waveform modulation method, a single-phase single-winding motor operates as a two-phase induction motor with asymmetrical axis windings where the starting torque can be obtained effectively without an auxiliary capacitor attached and it's running speed controlled by shifting phase between current waveforms differently. Equivalent circuit for analysis is modified from a double revolving field equivalent circuit of a single-phase induction motor with asymmetrical windings whose angle is 45.deg.C elet. degrees. Analysis and test results show that ON-OFF action of the pulsational shaded-pole winding has the same effect of a series capacitor, and then at heavy loads this motor operates with a small amonut of the input current than that having the fixed shaded-pole winding.

In this paper, an analogical method for measuring the electrical characteristics of the silent discharge in the Na2CO3 electrolyte is proposed by using an electrical equivalent model which consist of charging and discharging circuits. The electrical equivalent model is constructed with the use of zener diode and capacitor, and the electrical characteristics can be obtained by the voltage and charge traces which appear a simple parallelogram on the oscilloscope. The area enclosed by the parallelogram could be considered of the energy input per cycle, and is independent of the applied voltage waveform but dependent on the maximum applied voltage.

The SMT(Surface Mount Type) ferrite bead used to reduce the influx of power bus noise is modeled with parallel capacitor(C), series resistor(R) and series inductor(L). The simple equivalent circuit modeling doesn't agree with the measurement result. In this paper, we proposed the accurate equivalent circuit model of the ferrite bead at wide frequency range(50 MHz∼3 GHz) and analyzed the noise effect to the high speed IC(Integrate Circuit) with ferrite bead or not.
