In order to harvest power in an efficient manner from a micro piezoelectric (PZT) device for charging the battery of a remote system, a new AC/DC resonant pulse power converter is proposed. The proposed power converter has two stages in the power conversion process. The first stage includes N-type MOSFET full bridge rectifier. The second stage includes a boost converter having an N-type MOSFET and a P-type MOSFET. MOSFETs work in the $1^{st}$ or $3^{rd}$ quadrant region. A small inductor for the boost converter is assigned in order to make the size of the power converter as small as possible, which makes the on-interval of the MOSFET switch of the boost converter ultimately short. Due to this short on-interval, the parasitic junction capacitances of MOSFETs affect the performance of the power converter system. In this paper, the performance of the new converter is analytically and experimentally evaluated with consideration of the parasitic capacitance of switching devices.

This paper demonstrates an efficiency improvement of the class E power amplifier (PA) by tuning-out the input capacitance ($C_{IN}$) of the power HBT with a shunt inductance. In order to obtain high output power, the PA needs the large emitter size of a transistor. The larger the emitter size, the higher the parasitic capacitance. The parasitic $C_{IN}$ affects the distortion of the voltage signal at the base node and changes the duty cycle to decrease the PA's efficiency. Adopting the L-C resonance, we obtain a remarkable efficiency improvement of as much as 7%. This PA exhibits output power of 29 dBm and collector efficiency of 71% at 1.9 GHz.

This paper presents the intra capacitance modeling based on the winding method and section bobbin for CM choke capable of EMI attenuation of broad bands from lower to higher frequency bands and high frequency type common-mode choke capable of EMI attenuation of high frequency band used in the EMI Block of LED-TV SMPS. The case of high frequency type CM choke can be explained by the parasitic capacitance of three types of CM choke. The winding method of section bobbin type is smaller than the others. The first resonant frequency of the proposed CM choke tends to increase as the parasitic capacitance becomes small and its impedance characteristics improved performance as the first resonant frequency increases. The CM chokes of the proposed section bobbin type shows that in the future, the method may have practical use in LED/LCD-TV SMPS and in several applications, such as LED lighting, adapters, and so on.

LCL filters are widely used in high-order harmonics attenuation of output currents in grid-connected inverters. However, output currents of grid-connected inverters with LCL filters can become unstable because of the resonance of the filters. Given that the characteristics of output currents in inverters mostly depend on filter performance, the exact analysis of filters by considering parasitic components is necessary for both harmonics attenuation and current control. LCL filters have three or four parasitic components: the series and/or parallel resistance of the filter capacitor and the series resistance of the two filter inductors. Most studies on LCL filters have focused on the parasitic components of the filter capacitor. Although several studies have addressed the parasitic components of the filter inductor at the inverter side, no study has yet investigated the concurrent effects of series resistance in both filter inductors in detail. This paper analyzes LCL filters by considering series resistance in both filter inductors; it proposes an active damping method based on the virtual series resistance of LCL filters. The performance of the proposed active damping is then verified through both simulation and experiment using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator(HILS).

In low-power grid-connected photovoltaic(PV) system, Single-phase transformerless full-bridge inverter is commonly used. However in transformerless photovoltaic application, the ground parasitic capacitance created by grounding between PV panels and ground. This ground parasitic capacitance inject additional current into the inverter, these currents cause electromagnetic interference problem, safety problem and harmonics problem in PV applications. In order to eliminate the ground current, This paper propose various inverter topologies in PV applications. These proposed inverter topologies are verified through simulation using PSIM.

This paper presents a novel non-resonant PWM DC-DC converter for X-ray high-voltage power generator using the parasitic impedances of the high-voltage high-frequency link transformer with its output high-voltage control scheme and steady-state characteristics compared to the conventional series-parallel resonant DC-DC converter. The key point of this approach is to evaluate effectiveness of reduction of the turn ratio of the high-voltage high-frequency transformer on improvements in power conversion efficiency and the power factor applying a boost AC-DC converter as DC voltage source, especially in the long exposure term and light output load ranges.

Recently, we have used LEDs to illumination because it has a high luminous efficiency and prolong lifespan. However the light power and lifetime is reduced by junction temperature increment of LED. So it is important to measure the junction temperature accurately. In case of using a electrical method measuring junction temperature of LED. Temperature measurement errors are spontaneously generated because of a parasitic capacitances in LED. In this paper, we proposed a method that reducing LED's parasitic capacitance effects for electrical measurement. It was demonstrated by the experimental result that is more correct than established method.

In this paper a soft switching ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) power factor converter using active snubbers is designed to improve efficiency and reduce voltage spike and parasitic ringing. The main switch achieves ZVT and the auxiliary switch operates with ZCS. A 2KW soft switching ZVT converter is designed with switching frequency 100kHz, output voltage 400VDC. Then the designed system is realized and experimental results show that the measured efficiency and power factor are over 97.45% and 0.997 respectively with an input current THD less than 3%.

This study presents a practical implementation of a multi-mode two-phase interleaved boost converter for fuel cell electric vehicle application. The main operating modes, which include two continuous conducting modes and four discontinuous conducting modes, are discussed. The boundaries and transitions among these modes are analyzed with consideration of the inductor parasitic resistance. The safe operational area is analyzed through a comparison of the different operating modes. The output voltage and power characteristics with open-loop or closed-loop operation are also discussed. Key performance parameters, including the DC voltage gain, input ripple current, output ripple voltage, and switch stresses, are presented and supported by simulation and experimental results.
