In this paper, a new differential detector is introduced, in which a solar cell is used to reduce the low frequency interference from environmental optical noise. The solar cell also supplies electrical power to the detector circuit using the optical noise power. The DC voltage from the solar cell is used as a power supply to the detector, and the AC voltage is used to reduce the optical noise in a photodiode with the differential detection method. The signal to noise ratio was improved by about 20 dB.

Diamond deposition by muti-cathode DC PACVD has been investigated. Five cathodes were independently connected to their own DC power supplies. The voltage and current of each cathods were varied up to 700 V and 3.5 A, respectively. The plasma formation and the diamond deposition behaviour on a substrate of 3 inch in diameter were investigated by optical emission spectroscopy, SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The plasma formed by five cathodes was non-uniform, which was depended on the geometry of cathods array. The growth rate and the quality of diamond film were closely related to the spatial distribution of the plasma.

In this paper, we studied the charging characteristics of high-capacity supercapacitor with high current for RF wireless charging system for smart phone charging. The dc output of the RF-DC receiver is connected to supercapacitor after which is connected to DC-DC converter for charging a smart phone. This configuration stably supplies voltage and current for charging it. Studies show that the higher charging current use, the rapidly shorter the charging time of supercapacitor is. The currents of 2A, 10A and 27A were used for charging supercapacitors. The charging time was measured for 3000F, 6000F, 12000F supercapacitors which is parallelly connected with 3000F supercapacitors.

This study presents an input-powered high-efficiency interface circuit for energy harvesting systems, and introduces a zero standby power design to reduce power consumption significantly while removing the external power supply. This interface circuit is composed of two stages. The first stage voltage doubler uses a positive feedback control loop to improve considerably the conversion speed and efficiency, and boost the output voltage. The second stage active diode adopts a common-grid operational amplifier (op-amp) to remove the influence of offset voltage in the traditional comparator, which eliminates leakage current and broadens bandwidth with low power consumption. The system supplies itself with the harvested energy, which enables it to enter the zero standby mode near the zero crossing points of the input current. Thereafter, high system efficiency and stability are achieved, which saves power consumption. The validity and feasibility of this design is verified by the simulation results based on the 65 nm CMOS process. The minimum input voltage is down to 0.3 V, the maximum voltage efficiency is 99.6% with a DC output current of 75.6 μA, the maximum power efficiency is 98.2% with a DC output current of 40.4 μA, and the maximum output power is 60.48 μW. The power loss of the entire interface circuit is only 18.65 μW, among which, the op-amp consumes only 2.65 μW.

This paper presents a new full-bridge soft switching PWM DC-DC converter circuit topology that adding two switcher, two lossless snubber quasi-resonance capacity, two diode to power source for general welding machine. This half bridge soft switching Is low voltage hight current output that first coil current is smaller than second coil current in high frequency transformer can be obtained with decreasing path loss in conventional DC bus line switcher. As it operate ZCS/ZVS in full range, high frequency, high efficiency and high output are implemented at low voltage and high DC current switching power supplies. All of this items are got from simulation and the result of experiment. If make up for the weak points of this proposed circuit, it will be used more easily for next generation TIG, MIG and MAG type of arc-welding machine.

Power line communications can be utilized to build up the data transmission network wherever the electricity is available. This type of communication system could provide a basis for the network construction in many application areas which include the smart grid and home networks. On the other hand the power line communication is vulnerable to various types of interferences and noises. Also, its channel characteristics are constantly changing depending on the type and the amount of electrical loads connected to the network. Especially, the usage of DC power supply has been increased due to the explosive expansion of smart devices in our daily lives which result in the increased level of interferences on the power line channel. In this paper, the effect of the operation of the DC power supplies on the channel characteristics and the data transmission performance is analyzed through the experiments.

This paper presents a high speed synchronous single inductor dual output boost converter using Type-III compensation for power management in smart devices. Maintaining multiple outputs from a single inductor is becoming very important because of inductor the sizes. The uses of high switching frequency, inductor and capacitor sizes are reduced. Owing to synchronous rectification this kind of converter is suitable for SoC. The phase is controlled in time sharing manner for each output. The controller used here is Type-III, which ensures quick settling time and high stability. The outputs are stable within $58{\mu}s$. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a better overall performance. The input voltage is 1.8V, switching frequency is 5MHz, and the inductor used is 600nH. The output voltages and powers are 2.6V& 3.3V and 147mW &, 230mW respectively.

Conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) from switch mode power supplies (SMPS) has become a major problem due to the proliferation of these devices employing dc-dc converters using standard pulse width modulation (PWM). In this paper, we proposed the sigma-delta modulation $({\sum}{\Delta}M)$ as an alternative switching technique to reduce the conducted EMI in SMPS. A comparative investigation on conducted EMI generated by PWM and ${\sum}{\Delta}M$ techniques are experimentally performed on a 300W Boost converter.
