In this paper, a Gm-C LPF utilizing common-mode feedforward (CMFF) CMOS inverter type operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) has been designed and verified by circuit simulations. The CMFF CMOS inverter OTA was optimized for wide input linearity and low current consumption using a standard 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process; gm of 100 ${\mu}S$ and current of 100 ${\mu}A$ at supplied voltage of 1.3 V. Using this optimized CMFF CMOS inverter type OTA, an elliptic 5th order Gm-C LPF for GPS specifications was designed. Gain and frequency tuning of the LPF was done by changing the internal supply voltages. The designed Gm-C LPF gave pass-band ripple of 1.6 dB, stop-band attenuation of 60.8 dB, current consumption of 0.60 mA at supply voltage of 1.2 V. The gain and frequency characteristics of designed Gm-C LPF was unchanged even though the input common-mode voltage is varied.

A conventional power supply to drive a microwave oven has ferro-resonant transformer and high voltage capacitor(HVC). Though it is simple transformer is bulky heavy and has low-efficiency. To improve this defect a high frequency switching inverter-type power supply has been investigated an developed. in recent years. But because of it's additional circuit and devices inverter-type power supply is more expensive than conventional one. In this paper The design procedure of a novel HVC embedded high frequency transformer is proposed for down-sizing and cost reduction. Also transformer equivalent circuit model is derived by FEM analysis and parameter measurements. And the operation of proposed HVC embedded transformer is verified by simulation and experimental results.

As the adjustable speed drives by means of PWM inverter are applied to a wider field of industries, the demands for lower acoustic noise caused by modulation is becoming more intense. With the development of high speed power semiconductor device such as the IGBTs, a higher carrier frequency can be adopted to increase the switching frequency to the supersonic range. The optimal magnitude of this signal is determined so that the sideband components near the carrier frequency are minimized

The Induction Heating equipment is widely used for steel plate heating in the surface treatment process of steel industries. In the case of thin steel plate, for high efficiency We need the high frequency induction heating equipment more than 100kHz. But it is difficult to realize the high frequency and high power at the same time. That's why most high frequency equipment more than 100kHz has been imported from advanced Manufacturer. This paper will describe the development of 100kHz/5MVA inverter module for 100kHz/20MVA induction heating. We used the LCL resonance topology and ZVS/ZCS switching technology. And we also developed the low loss gate drive board and plate busbar inverter stack. We proved the performance by various experiment.

This paper proposes a robust digital controller for PWM voltage source inverter using CRA method. The usual inverter controller for the operation of constant voltage and constant frequency consists of a double looped PI controller for the outer voltage controller and the inner current controller, of which the order of characteristic polynomial is high and so the gain tuning is difficult. Considering the limited switching frequency of the devices and sampling frequency of the digital controller, the gain tuning is usually based on the engineering experiences with the try and error method. In this paper, the error-space approach is used to get the system model including the controller with low order, and the characteristic ratio assignment (CRA) method is proposed for the design of robust controller which has the advantage to design the optimal gain to meet the referenced response and overshoot within the limit range. The PSiM simulation and experience results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed controller.

Most of X-ray generator had used rectifier type transformer with high tension generator which is supplied in a clinical diagnosis. Because the ripple rate of tube voltage is high, X-ray generating efficiency is very low. In these days, high tension generator for inverter type X-ray generator is being supplied from a broad which uses semi-conductor switching element for the electric power that have a high speed switching ability to solve these problem. But, semi-conductor element with large capacity is used with X-ray tube's large consumption power and diffusion is difficult in the small size hospital because production cost is going up by doing digital control through DSP. Therefore, this paper designed and manufactured CR type voltage divider for feedback control of tube voltage with high frequency resonance type inverter and for high tension transformer with high frequency. It was to make economical diffusion type X-ray generator which has wide output voltage and load extent. It was preyed that the X-ray generator had the stability of X-ray tube's output characteristics.

Existing current-controlled inverters with hysteresis controller (HC) result in the dependence of the inverter on its load characteristics, poor inverter utilization due to too much or too little supply voltage, and the current error in the hysteresis band(HB) which causes deterioration of operation of the supplied motor. In this paper, techniques and results of modeling the operation of current-controlled three phase power inverter with HC are presented. Four symmetrical control schemes are considered: the so called three independent control, three semi-dependent control(a), three semi-dependent control(b) and three dependent control each using three current controller. The dependence of the inverter on its load has been studied. To overcome this difficulty, an inner feedback control has been introduced and optimum parameter has been determined. With the addition of an inner feedback control, adjustment of the switching frequency to a desired value is possible. Also, this modification improves operating characteristics of inverter by enforcing a switching pattern of low dependence on the load, resulting in significantly improved quality of the output current.

This paper presents an open-fault tolerance control method for active neutral point clamped (ANPC) inverter with high frequency/low frequency (HF/LF) modulation. By applying the ANPC inverter with SiC MOSFETs and Si IGBTs, the system efficiency and performance can be improved compared to a Si-based inverter. HF/LF modulation is used for a megawatt-scale inverter to minimize the commutation loop. The open-switch failure in megawatt-scale inverter causes severe damage to load and huge expenses when the inverter has been shut-down. The proposed tolerance control of open-switch failure provides continuous operation and improved reliability to the ANPC inverter. The effectiveness of the proposed fault tolerance control is verified by simulation results.
