This paper proposes a modified space-vector pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy which can restrict the common-mode voltage for three-phase to three-phase matrix converter and still keep sinusoidal input and output waveforms and unity power factor at the input side. The proposed control method has been developed based on contributing the appropriate space vectors instead of using zero space vectors. The advantages of this proposed method is to reduce the peak value of common-mode voltage to 42% beside the lower high harmonic components as compared to the conventional SVM method. Hence, the new table is also presented with the new space vector rearrangement. Furthermore, the voltage transfer ratio is unaffected by the proposed method. A simulation of the overall system has been carried out to validate the advantages of the proposed method.

In this paper, the superposition principle of a heat sink temperature rise is verified based on the mathematical model of a plate-fin heat sink with two mounted heat sources. According to this, the distributed coupling thermal impedance matrix for a heat sink with multiple devices is present, and the equations for calculating the device transient junction temperatures are given. Then methods to extract the heat sink thermal impedance matrix and to measure the Epoxy Molding Compound (EMC) surface temperature of the power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) instead of the junction temperature or device case temperature are proposed. The new thermal impedance model for the power converters in Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drivers is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The obtained simulation results are validated with experimental results. Compared with the Finite Element Method (FEM) thermal model and the traditional thermal impedance model, the proposed thermal model can provide a high simulation speed with a high accuracy. Finally, the temperature rise distributions of a power converter with two control strategies, the maximum junction temperature rise, the transient temperature rise characteristics, and the thermal coupling effect are discussed.

In this paper, an approach to reduce the common-mode voltage and to eliminate narrow pulse for implemented AC-DC matrix converters is presented. An improved space vector modulation (SVM) strategy is developed by replacing the zero space vectors with suitable pairs of active ones. Further, while considering the commutation time, the probability of narrow pulse in the conventional and proposed SVM methods are derived and compared. The advantages of the proposed scheme include: a 50% reduction in the peak value of the common-mode voltage; improved input and output performances; a reduction in the switching loss by a reduced number of switching commutations and a simplified implementation via software. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the correctness of the theoretical analysis, as well as the feasibility of the proposed strategy.

This paper presents a new space vector modulation (SVM) method for indirect matrix converters (IMCs) to reduce commonmode voltage as well as minimize output current ripple in a high voltage transfer ratio. In the proposed SVM, the three-vector modulation scheme is used in the rectifier stage, while the nonzero state modulation technique, where the three nearest active vectors are selected to synthesize the desired output voltage, is applied to inverter stage to reduce the CMV. The proposed SVM method can significantly reduce the output current ripple and common-mode voltage of the IMC without any extra hardware. Simulated results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SVM method.

An area efficient, low power switch-matrix semidigital FIR reconstruction filter for delta-sigma D/A converter is proposed. Filter coefficients are quantified to 7-bit and 7 current sources that correspond to each coefficient bit are used. The proposed semidigital FIR reconstruction filter is designed in a 0.25 um CMOS process and incorporates 1.5 mm$^{2}$ of active area and a power consumption is 3.8 mW at 2.5 V supply. The number of switching transistors is 1419 at 205 filter order. Simulation results show that the filter output has a dynamic range of 104 dB and 84 dB attenuation of out-of-band quantization noise.

This paper presents a new architecture, called "Power Electronics Remote Wiring and Measurement Laboratory (PermLAB)", that translates a common gateway interface (CGI) string from a remote web user to a web server connected to a 3-dimension switching matrix board, can be used to switch on and off, and to control a cluster of instruments and components. PermLAB addresses real-time connection, switching, and data acquisition over the Internet instead of using simulated data. A software procedure uses a signature system to identify each instrument and component in a complex system. The Web-server application is developed in HTML, JavaScript and Java, and in C language for the CGI interface, which resides in a controller portion of LabVIEW. The LabVIEW software fully integrates the Web sever, LabVIEW data acquisition boards and controllers, and the 3-dimensional switching matrix board. The paper will analyze a half-wave rectifier (AC - DC converter) circuit connected over the Internet using the PermLAB. PermLAB allows students to obtain real data by real-time wiring of real circuits in the laboratory using a "virtual breadboard" on the Web. The software for the Web-based 3-dimensional system is flexible, portable, can be integrated into many laboratory applications or expanded, and easily accessible worldwide.

A threshold-voltage sensing circuit is proposed to compensate for pixel aging in active matrix organic light-emitting diodes. The proposed threshold-voltage sensing circuit consists of sample-hold (S/H) circuits and a single-ended successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a resolution of 10 bits. To remove a scale down converter of each S/H circuit and a voltage gain amplifier with a signl-to-differentail converter, the middle reference voltage calibration and input range calibration for the single-ended SAR ADC are performed in the capacitor digital-to-analog converter and reference driver. The proposed threshold-voltage sensing circuit is designed by using a 180-nm CMOS process with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The ENOB and power consimption of the single-ended SAR ADC are 9.425 bit and 2.83 mW, respectively.

OLED in the spotlight of display market has advantages of low power driving, self-emission and fast response. But it has disadvantages of inefficient luminescence and high power consumption. Most of PM(passive Matrix) DC-DC converters in common use is using voltage divider. This voltage divider type has some difficulties of suitable electric device selection for voltage division and of the stabilized output due to feedback current trimming. Therefore, noise analysis and power solution in OLED are important technologies having an effect on electric characteristics. In this dissertation, we have obtained the stable output by using digital signals in multi-channel DC-DC converter, the profit of power consumption reduction of driving source and economical efficiency in the PCB board size.
