A soft-switching scheme for the PWM boost converter, ZCT (Zero current transition : ZCT) boost converter Is newly proposed to obtain the desirable features of both the conventional BWM boost and resonant converters such as easy of control, reduced switching losses and stresses, an4 low EMI. In order to achieve the soft-switching action, the proposed scheme employs an auxiliary circuit, which is added to the conventional boost converter and used to achieve soft-switching for both the main switch and the output diode while not incurring any additional losses due to auxiliary circuit itself. The basic operations, in this paper, we discussed and design guidelines are presented. Through a 100kHz, 60-W prototype, the usefulness of the proposed scheme is verified.

An EMC analysis of a switched mode power supply (SMPS) have been usually using unbalance circuit topologies and the major factor of disturbance is parasitic capacitance. We have proposed a balanced switching converter circuit, which is an effective way to reduce the common mode conducted noise. In this paper presents the relationship between common mode current and radiated field.

The main advantages of DSPSRM lie in the simple robust construction, low manufacturing cost and simple driving circuit. Especially, it is possible to make shortly the axial length of DSPSRM. therefore, it is suitable to setup this motor in a narrow space. For practical use, prototype of DSPSRM was already manufactured. In this paper, we explain driving method and design driving circuit of DSPSRM. And then speed, torque and efficiency are measured. As a result of measurement, the torque was constant at normal speed and the speed was linearly increased as the current increase. Therefore, we verify that DSPSRM is suitable for low-speed fan load.

In this paper, an IC chip of a cell- network type circuit constructed with 1-dimensional chaos circuits is reported. The circuit, is designed by sing switched-current (Sl) techniques. In the proposed circuit, by controlling connections of cells, an S- dimensional circuit (S ＝ 1, 2, 3,…) and a synchronization system can be constructed easily. Furthermore, in spite of faults of a few cells, the circuit can reconstruct above-mentioned systems only to change connections of cells. This feature will open up new vista for engineering applications which are used in a distance place such as space, deep sea, etc. since it is difficult to repair faults of these application systems. To investigate the characteristics of the circuit, SPICE simulations are performed. The VLSI chip is fabricated from the layout design using a CAD tool, MAGIC. The proposed circuit is integrable by a standard 1.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology.

In this paper, a high step-up DC-DC PWM converter with continuous input current and low voltage stress is presented for renewable energy application. The proposed converter is composed of a boost converter integrated with an auxiliary step-up circuit. The auxiliary circuit uses an additional coupled inductor and a balancing capacitor with voltage doubler and switching capacitor technique to achieve high step-up voltage gain with an appropriate switch duty cycle. The switched capacitors are charged in parallel and discharged in series by the coupled inductor, stacking on the output capacitor. In the proposed converter, the voltage stress on the main switch is clamped, so a low voltage switch with low ON resistance can be used to reduce the conduction loss which results in the efficiency improvement. A detailed discussion on the operating principle and steady-state analyses are presented in the paper. To justify the theoretical analysis, experimental results of a 200W 40/400V prototype is presented. In addition, the conducted electromagnetic emissions are measured which shows a good EMC performance.

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.

The mathematical models of the Switched Reluctance machine system integrating the state equation of the phase current with the two dimensions finite element model of the machine are advanced, no matter what the topologies of the main circuit of the power converter and the control strategies are adopted in the system. Based on the mathematical models, the comparison of the simulated and the tested results of a three-phase Switched Reluctance motor drive prototype system are given. The simulated results of the prototype tally with the tested results of the prototype. It is shown that the mathematical models have the advantage in high precision.

This paper is proposed the modeling and computational methods for estimating the steady and dynamic characteristics of a transverse flux type SRM. Prediction of the steady and dynamic characteristics state of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive can be quite involved because of complex interdependent influences between motor parameters and excitation. To obtain characteristics parameters of the transverse flux type SRM which is considered the magnetic non-linearity phenomena, the magnetic equivalent parameters of SRM are computed by the finite element method as functions of the input current and angular displacement. Dynamic characteristics of the designed transverse flux type SRM is simulated and estimated by Matlab/simlunk.

A laboratory prototype, 500W 5V/100A AC/DC converter was implemented. The simulation and experimental waveforms verify the feasibility of the proposed design.

A CMOS relaxation oscillator, with high robustness over process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations, is designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. The proposed oscillator, consisting of full-differential charge-discharge timing circuit and switched-capacitor based voltage-to-current conversion, could be expanded to a simple open-loop frequency synthesizer (FS) with output frequency digitally tuned. Experimental results show that the proposed oscillator conducts subcarrier generation for frequency-modulated ultra-wideband (FM-UWB) transmitters with triangular amplitude distortion less than 1%, and achieves frequency deviation less than 8% under PVT and phase noise of -112 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency. Under oscillation frequency of 10.5 MHz, the presented design has the relative FS error less than 2% for subcarrier generation and the power dissipation of 0.6 mW from a 1.8 V supply.
