The paper describes the design of optimized PCB air-core toroids for high frequency DC-DC converters with strict requirements in terms of volume and noise. The effect of several design parameters on the overall inductor volume, on DC and AC winding resista ...
The paper describes the design of optimized printed circuit board (PCB) air-core toroids for high-frequency dc-dc converters with strict requirements in terms of volume and noise. The effect of several design parameters on the overall inductor volume, on d ...
In this paper, a high output voltage power converter working at variable input DC-link voltage is presented. The variable DC link voltage opens to very interesting solution at system level. However, those solutions will be the subject of futures papers. On ...
Combining modern high-power semiconductor devices with constantly improving magnetic materials opens up the possibility to replace bulky low-frequency transformers with a new medium voltage medium frequency conversion structure. While there are still chall ...
In the last years, static power converters have become widely used in various applications. They can be found in domestic applications, railways, urban and ship transport, and even in several industrial systems. Some of these applications require a high or ...
In this article the development and realization of a 8 kW battery charger with Power Factor Correction (PFC) is described. The converter consists of two parts: The first part is an AC/DC converter based on a “VIENNA” topology with a controlled output volta ...
A continuous-time (CT) ΣΔ modulator for sensing and direct analog-to-digital conversion of nA-range (subthreshold) currents is presented in this work. The presented modulator uses a subthreshold technique based on subthreshold source-coupled logic cells to ...
PFC rectifiers are more and more used as front end circuits for low and mid sized apparatus. Especially for the high current applications, the size and weight of passive components are an important factor, also for the economic aspect. The number and size ...
Many electric power generators use gas turbines as power sources. Typically they are connected to the turbines through a mechanical gearbox in order to adapt their synchronous speed to the optimal rotation speed of the turbine, which is very often much hig ...
This paper is focused on a general design principle of a uniform step multilevel converter, with K series-connected full bridges inverters per phase. A new design terminology is proposed and analytical relationships are established. The DC-voltage sources ...
