  • We propose an efficient method to measure a pulse width using multiphase clock signals generated from a ring oscillator. These clocks, which have the same frequency and are evenly spaced, give multiple rising edges within a clock cycle. Thus, it is possible to measure a pulse width more accurately than with existing single clock-based methods. The proposed method is applied to a capacitive touch switch. Experimental results show that the capacitive touch switch with the proposed method gives a 118 fF resolution, which is 6.4 times higher than that of the touch switch with a single clock-based pulse width measurement method.

  • This paper proposes a more accurate task level energy measurement technique for high speed microprocessors. The technique is based on the relationship of the amount of current consumed by the microprocessor and the pulse width of the power supply controller chip, employed in the synchronous buck DC-DC converter in the microprocessor's power supply. The accuracy of the measurement is accomplished by measuring variation in pulse width in each power supply cycle. The major advantage of this technique is that its accuracy does not depend on the operating frequency of the microprocessor. To prove the proposed technique, we implemented the measurement unit of the microprocessor energy meter using an FPGA chip operating at 50 MHz. Both static and dynamic load measurement are tested in order to obtain some behaviours. Moreover, various commercially available mainboards which employ synchronous buck regulators at 200 KHz switching frequency, were measured. The results agree with previous works with better accuracy at higher operating frequency.

  • The real time autocorrelator has been developed in order to measure the pulse widths of ultrashort laser pulses using the SHG method. The scanning range of the autocorrelator is 142 ps, and inserting a delay block in one arm of the autocorrelator, the scanning range can be extended to 250 ps. The shortest pulse width was measured to be 20 ps, when the cavity length was well matched to the RF frequency of the mode-locker, and broadened to be 39 ps and 47 ps as the cavity length was detuned.

  • We demonstrate a frequency-resolved optical grating (FROG) device for measuring the intensity and phase versus time of several-tens-of-picoseconds laser pulses, using a thick nonlinear optical crystal. The huge pulse-front tilt generated by a holographic grating increases the temporal range of the device, which can make a single-shot measurement of laser pulses less than 100 ps in duration. To verify the measurement technique, we generate double pulses using a Michelson interferometer. The measured duration of a single pulse is about 300 fs and the measured maximum delay of two pulses is 60 ps, which implies that the proposed FROG device can measure laser pulses with maximum pulse width of about 120 ps.

  • The control performance of hybrid PWM inverter using a phase current measurement is presented in this paper. The hybrid PWM technique consists of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and six-step voltage control operation. The SVPWM is performed to reduce the harmonic components in the low speed region, and the six-step modulation is applied to increase the maximum speed of the IPMSM in the high speed region. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a great performance in both the low speed range and high speed range. However, the six-step modulation cannot be completely implemented, since the inverter that includes the lag-shunt sensing method has an immeasurable current region. In this paper, a quasi-six-step modulation using a modified voltage vector is proposed. The validity and usefulness of the proposed PWM technique is verified by MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results.

  • A novel pulse-width-modulated (PWM) function is introduced for precise position measurement in an enclosed signal field. An amplitude modulation was used to light the LEDs for the conventional study. However, the transform properties from the driving signal to the lighting intensities of the LEDs are non-linear, and accurate control of the lighting power was necessary. Therefore, a lighting function independent of these properties is desired. Well-known PWM functions are used to construct the enclosed signal field by simulation, and the precision of the phase detecting system is analyzed. A novel "axial symmetry PWM" function is found to be effective for orthogonal pahse detection.
