New circuit D-Q transformation concept is introduced to analyze AC converters such as inverters, rectifiers and cyclo-converters with ease. The equivalent linear time invariant circuit is obtained by substituting switches with equivalent turn-ratio variable transformers and changing balanced AC reactors into equivalent DC reactors combined by gyrators. This circuit enables us to utilize the powerful linear system analysis techniques such as Laplace transform otherwise which could not be applied to the time varying switching systems. Direct substitution of switches of DC converters with transformers is shown as a preliminary. Then the modeling procedure is shown for a controlled rectifier-inverter circuit. Finally an analysis example is proposed for a buck-boost inverter and the result is compared with the conventional approach. This approach is applicable to all AC converter families to determine the AC transfer functions and the DC operating points. It is identified that the switching systems are equivalent to the RLC filter circuits with transformers and gyrators.

In this paper, a novel CMOS high Q factor 2-port active inductor has been proposed. The proposed circuit is designed by cascading basic gyrator-C structural active inductors and attaching the feedback LC resonance circuit. This LC resonator can compensate parasitic capacitance of transistor and can improve Q factor over wide frequency range. The proposed circuit was fabricated and simulated using 65 nm Samsung RF CMOS process. The fabricated circuit shows inductance of above 2 nH and Q factor higher than 40 in the frequency range of 1~6 GHz.
