An active boost converter for a single phase SRM using series-parallel connected capacitors is proposed in this paper. The proposed active boost converter has two diodes and one power switch with an anti-parallel diode and one additional boost capacitor. The additional boost capacitor could be series or parallel connected to the dc-link capacitor to produce proper excitation and demagnetization voltage. The proposed active boost converter can easily achieve a fast excitation and demagnetization from the capacitor connection. In this paper, series and parallel connected converters are reviewed, and the detailed operating modes as well as the voltage characteristics of the proposed converter are analyzed. The simulation and experimental results shows the effectiveness of the proposed active boost converter.

In this paper, dc link currents for the three-phase diode rectifiers and PWM inverters are analyzed and an algorithm of estimating the life of dc link electrolytic capacitors using the analyzed ripple current is presented. Since the capacitor life is dependent on the operating temperature, the power dissipation in capacitors should be calculated. For this, the ESR(equivalent series resistance) model of the capacitor is derived and ripple currents through the capacitor are analyzed. Relating the power dissipation and the heat transfer equation, the internal operating temperature is calculated. Then, the capacitor life can be predicted by using Arrhenius's equation. An example for applications is given for the practical system.

본 논문에서는 진동 감지기가 있는 전파 정류 하베스팅 회로를 설계하였다. 설계된 회로는 진동 감지기와 능동다이오드를 통해 진동이 감지될 때에만 동작하며, 진동이 없을 때 비교기를 off시켜 $C_{STO}$에 저장된 에너지의 누설을 방지한다. 커패시터에 저장된 에너지는 레벨 변환기와 능동다이오드의 구동에 사용된다. 진동 감지기는 Hysteresis 기능이 있는 Schmitt Trigger와 피크검출기로 구현하였다. 제안된 회로는 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 설계하였으며, 모의실험을 통해 동작을 검증하였다. 설계된 에너지 하베스팅 회로의 칩 면적은 $590{\mu}m{\times}583{\mu}m$이다.

In the single-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive, the required DC source is generally supplied by the circuit consisting of bridge rectifier and large filter capacitor connected with DC line terminal. Due to the large capacity of the capacitor, the charged time of capacitor is very short from the AC source. Lead to the bridge rectifiers draws pulsating current from the AC source side, which results in reduction of power factor and low system efficiency. Therefore a novel single-phase SRM drive system is presented in this paper, which includes drive circuit realizing reduction of torque ripple and improvement of power factor with a novel switching topology. The proposed drive circuit consists of one switching part and diode, which can separate the output of AC/DC rectifier from the large capacitor and supply power to SRM alternately, in order to realize the torque ripple reduction and power factor improvement through the switching scheme. In addition, the validity of the proposed method is tested by some simulations and experiments.

Switching Mode Power Supply(SMPS) is widely used in many industrial fields. Power factor improvement and harmonic reduction technique are very important in SMPS. In this paper, we propose the circuit applied Flying Capacitor Snubber for improving power factor of boost converter on fast switching state. Snubber circuit consists of a inductor, two diodes and a capacitor. The losses of switching are reduced by inserting a snubber inductor in the series path of the boost switch and the rectifier diode to control the di/dt rate of the rectifier during it's turn-off. Prior to actual experiment, the circuit analysis Is implemented by PSPICE simulation.

This paper presents a novel topology named a modified capacitor-assisted Z-source inverter (MCA-ZSI) based on the traditional ZSI. The impedance network of the proposed MCA-ZSI consists of two symmetrical cells coupled with two capacitors with an X-shape structure, and each cell has two inductors, two capacitors, and one diode. Compared with other topologies based on switched ZSI with the same number of components used at impedance network, the proposed topology provides higher boost ability, lower voltage stress across inverter switching devices, and lower capacitor voltage stress. The improved performances of the proposed topology are demonstrated in the simulation and experimental results.

A laser pulse generator which consists of charging resistor, energy storage capacitor laser diode, and switching elements was designed in order to generate 15ns, 20W laser pulses. And the effects of performances of SCR and FET as switching elements are compared. When SCR is used, the SCR's low maximum voltage makes the circuit so complicated, and when FET is used, the FET needs the special sate driver which improves the FET's operation.

In this paper, a predistortion linearizer using series diode is proposed for linearizing the power amplifier in microwave radio systems. The power amplifier should be operated near saturation region to achieve high efficiency. But at this region, amplitude and phase distortions of the amplifier remarkably increase with the increase of input power and cause a significant adjacent channel interference. The linearizer is composed of a series diode with a parallel capacitor, which provides positive amplitude and negative phase deviations with the increasing input power. This type of linearizer using the nonlinearity of diode has improved the C/I(Carrier to Intermodulation Distortion) ratio well. By applying this linearizer to two-tone 880MHz power amplifier, adjacent channel leakage power is improved up to 5dBm.
