A new multi-output LLC resonant converter is proposed for high efficiency and low cost plasma display panel (PDP) power module. In the proposed converter, zero-voltage (ZV) turn-on of the primary MOSFETs and zero-voltage (ZC) turn-on and turn-off of the secondary diodes are guaranteed in the overall input voltage and output load ranges. In addition, the primary MOSFETs and the secondary diodes have the low voltage stresses clamped to input and the output voltages, respectively. Therefore, the proposed converter shows the high efficiency due to the minimized switching and conduction losses. Moreover, by employing the transformer with multiple secondary windings, the proposed converter can have multiple outputs, which show the great crossregulation characteristics. Therefore, the proposed converter is suitable for high efficiency and low cost PDP power module.

In this paper, a three-phase high-voltage converter (HVC), in which the main structure of each phase is composed of a cascaded PWM rectifier (CPR) and cascaded inverter (CI), is studied. A high-voltage grid is the input of the HVC. In order to ensure proper operation of the HVC, the control method should achieve output voltage sharing (OVS) among the rectifiers in the CPR, OVS among the inverters in the CI, and high power factor. Master-slave direct-current control (MDCC) is used to control the CPR. The ability of the control system to prevent interference is strong when using MDCC. The CI is controlled by three-loop control, which is composed of an outer common-output-voltage loop, inner current loops and voltage sharing loops. Simulation results show low total harmonic distortion (THD) in the HVC input currents and good OVS in both the CPR and CI.

본 논문에서는 무선전력전송 시스템 수신부의 넓은 입력 범위의 CMOS 다중 모드 정류기를 설계하였다. 다중 모드 정류기의 출력전압을 비교기로 감지하고, 스위치를 컨트롤 하여 정류기 모드를 전환한다. 다중 모드 정류기는 입력 전압의 크기에 따라 자동으로 전파 정류기, 1단 전압 체배기, 2단 전압 체배기로 동작한다. 일반적인 전파 정류기는 10 V에서 20 V까지의 입력 AC 전압에 대해 9 V에서 19 V까지의 출력 DC 전압을 생성할 수 있다. 다중 모드 정류기는 전파 정류기 보다 입력 범위를 5 V 향상시켜서 5 V에서 20 V까지의 입력 AC 전압에 대해 출력 DC 전압은 7.5 V에서 19 V까지 생성되는 것을 보여준다. 다중 모드 정류기의 효율은 전파 정류기 모드에서 94%이다. 제안하는 다중 모드 정류기는 0.35${\mu}m$ BCD 공정으로 설계되었고, 면적은 $2500{\mu}m{\times}1750{\mu}m$ 이다.

For wearable health monitoring systems, a fundamental problem is the limited space for storing energy, which can be translated into a short operational life. In this paper, a highly efficient active voltage doubling rectifier with a wide input range for micro-piezoelectric energy harvesting systems is proposed. To obtain a higher output voltage, the Dickson charge pump topology is chosen in this design. By replacing the passive diodes with unbalanced-biased comparator-controlled active counterparts, the proposed rectifier minimizes the voltage losses along the conduction path and solves the reverse leakage problem caused by conventional comparator-controlled active diodes. To improve the rectifier input voltage sensitivity and decrease the minimum operational input voltage, two low power common-gate comparators are introduced in the proposed design. To keep the comparator from oscillating, a positive feedback loop formed by the capacitor C is added to it. Based on the SMIC 0.18-μm standard CMOS process, the proposed rectifier is simulated and implemented. The area of the whole chip is 0.91×0.97 mm², while the rectifier core occupies only 13% of this area. The measured results show that the proposed rectifier can operate properly with input amplitudes ranging from 0.2 to 1.0V and with frequencies ranging from 20 to 3000 Hz. The proposed rectifier can achieve a 92.5% power conversion efficiency (PCE) with input amplitudes equal to 0.6 V at 200 Hz. The voltage conversion efficiency (VCE) is around 93% for input amplitudes greater than 0.3 V and load resistances larger than 20kΩ.

In this paper, the Gm-C filter for low voltage and low power applications using a fully-differential transconductor is presented. The designed transconductor using the series composite transistors and the low voltage composite transistors has wide input range at low supply voltage. A negative resistor load (NRL) technology for high DC gain of the transconductor is employed with a common mode feedback(CMFB). As a design example, the third-order Elliptic lowpass filter is designed. The designed filter is simulated and examined by HSPICE using TSMC $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS n-well parameters. The simulation results show 138kHz cutoff frequency and 11.05mW power dissipation with a 3.3V supply voltage.

It is known that transformer based power supplies for ozone generators have low efficiency, high cost and exhibits a limited frequency range of operation. To overcome these disadvantages, this paper proposes a high frequency ozone generator with the absence of a transformer. The voltage step-up is achieved only by utilizing the resonant tank. This is made possible by a novel combination of ozone chamber materials that allow ozone to be generated at only 1.5 - 3.5 $kV_{p-p}$. The input to the resonant tank is driven by a PWM full bridge resonant inverter. Furthermore, zero-current zero-voltage switching (ZCZVS) operation is achieved by employing a duty factor of 25% between the switches of the full bridge. The advantages of the proposed system include high efficiency, low cost and the ability to control ozone production by varying the input voltage to the inverter. The prototype is verified by both simulation and experimental results.

This study proposes a novel isolated high step-up galvanic converter, which is suitable for renewable energy applications and integrates a boost converter, a coupled inductor, a charge pump capacitor cell, and an LC snubber. The proposed converter comprises an input inductor and thus features a continuous input current, which extends the life of the renewable energy chip. Furthermore, the proposed converter can achieve a high voltage gain without an extremely large duty cycle and turn ratio of the coupled inductor by using the charge pump capacitor cell. The leakage inductance energy can be recycled to the output capacitor of the boost converter via the LC snubber and then transferred to the output load. As a result, the voltage spike can be suppressed to a low voltage level. Finally, the basic operating principles and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

In this paper, a versatile three-input five-output universal capacitor-grounded voltage-mode filter is proposed. The circuit employs two differential voltage current conveyors as active elements together with two grounded capacitors and four resistors as passive elements. The proposed configuration can be used as either a single-input five-output or three-input two-output. Unlike the previously reported works, it can simultaneously realize five different generic filtering signals: lowpass, bandpass, highpass, bandreject, and allpass. It still maintains the following advantages: (i) the employment of all grounded capacitors, (ii) no need to employ inverting-type input signals, (iii) no need to impose component choice, (iv) orthogonal control of the resonance angular frequency ${\omega}_o$ and the quality factor Q, and (v) low active and passive sensitivity performances.
