A Row-Column Accessed Dynamic Element Matching DAC Architecture for SAR ADCs

Mustafa Kilic, Selman Ergünay, Yusuf Leblebici

Capacitor mismatch in high resolution Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) causes non-linearity effects that reduce the Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR). This paper presents a novel dynamic element matching (DEM) te ...

Perovskite solar cell - electrochemical double layer capacitor interplay

Michael Graetzel, Nikolaos Vlachopoulos, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz

We demonstrate that by a proper design of a system comprising a perovskite solar cell (PSC) coupled to an electrochemical double-layer capacitor (EDLC), it is possible to simultaneously improve both the PSC and EDLC performance and outperform each single u ...

Electromagnetic, complex image model of a large area RF resonant antenna as inductive plasma source

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier

A large area antenna generates a plasma by both inductive and capacitive coupling; it is an electromagnetically coupled plasma source. In this work, experiments on a large area planar RF antenna source are interpreted in terms of a multi-conductor transmis ...

An Experimental and Analytical Study of Periodic and Aperiodic Fluctuations in the Critical Current of Long Coated Conductors

It is well known that the critical current of all coated conductors fluctuates along their length and from run to run for reasons that are seldom reported in detail and may not always be understood. Here, we report results obtained with a reel-to-reel tran ...
