The converter achieves a current load ranged from 50 mA to 500 mA over 90% efficiency, and the maximum power efficiency is 95.6%, where the circuit was simulated with the TSMC 0.35 um CMOS process. In order to achieve ultra-wide-load high efficiency, this paper implements with two PMOS transistors as switches. Results show that the converter achieves above 90% efficiency at the range from 30 mA to 1200 mA with a maximum efficiency of 96.36%. Results show that, with the additional switch transistor, the current load range is expanded more than double. With two PMOS transistors, the proposed converter can also achieve 3 different load ranges so that it can be programmed for the applications which are operated at those three different load ranges.","PeriodicalId":251525,"journal":{"name":"2011 18th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems","volume":"04 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128999233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This filter has 156 MHz sampling frequency and its bandwidth is adjustable as follows: 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 MHz. This filter has more than 80 dB attenuation at four times of the bandwidth, THD about 64 dB (@Vout =200 mVpp), SFDR more than 67 dB, and power dissipation lower than 35 mW.

The proposed associativity-reconfigurable cache consists of pairs of cache ways. Each pair has two modes: the normal mode and the dependable mode. The proposed cache can dynamically enhance its reliability in the dependable mode, thereby trading off its performance. The reliability of the proposed cache can be scaled by reconfiguring its associativity. Moreover, the configuration can be chosen based upon current operating conditions. Our chip measurement results show that the proposed dependable cache possesses the scalable characteristic of reliability. Moreover, it can decrease the minimum operating voltage by 115 mV. The cycle accurate simulation shows that designing the L1, L2 caches using the proposed scheme results in 4.93% IPC loss on average.

The result is established considering a model that includes the electrical and mechanical dynamics of the induction motors, as well as the full body dynamics of high speed Electric Vehicle. The procedures we will follow consist of four steps. First, we design an inner control loop such that the overall System becomes a cascade connection of two nonlinear subsystems, i.e., the motor electrical dynamics and the electrical vehicle mechanical system as load. The output of the first subsystem, that is the generated torque, drives the electrical vehicle dynamics, and the other cross coupling are removed. Second, the torque required to track the desired wheel trajectory is evaluated by passivity approach. Third, we define a desired current behavior which reflects an objective of attaining field orientation. Four, we design a controller that insures the torques generated by the motors asymptotically track the desired torque. Parameters of electrical vehicle and motors are known. The local stability is obtained for controller with the nonlinear observer of rotor motor currents. Simulation results are presented with a electrical vehicle in Matlab-Simulink to illustrate the performance of the control law.","PeriodicalId":251525,"journal":{"name":"2011 18th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116186069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
