TL;DR: In this paper, a gate driver circuit for SiC mosfet to attenuate the negative voltage spikes in a bridge circuit is proposed, which adopts a simple voltage dividing circuit to generate a negative gate-source voltage as traditional and a passive triggered transistor with a series-connected capacitor to suppress the positive voltage spikes.
Abstract: SiC mosfet has low on-state resistance and can work on high switching frequency, high voltage, and some other tough conditions with less temperature drift, which could provide the significant improvement of power density in power converters. However, for the bridge circuit in an actual converter, high dv/dt during fast switching transient of one mosfet will amplify the negative influence of parasitic components and produce the significant negative voltage spikes on the complementary mosfet , which will threaten its safe operation. This paper proposes a new gate driver circuit for SiC mosfet to attenuate the negative voltage spikes in a bridge circuit. The proposed gate driver adopts a simple voltage dividing circuit to generate a negative gate-source voltage as traditional and a passive triggered transistor with a series-connected capacitor to suppress the negative voltage spikes, which could satisfy the stringent requirements of fast switching SiC mosfet s under the high dc voltage condition with low cost and less complexity. An analysis is presented in this paper based on the simulation and experimental results with the performance comparison evaluated.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that when the self-sensing signal obtained from the proposed method is used as a displacement signal, the vibration of the motorized spindle can be suppressed effectively through a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) algorithm.
Abstract: The motorized spindle is the core component of CNC machine tools, and the vibration of it reduces the machining precision and service life of the machine tools. Owing to the fast response, large output force, and displacement of the piezoelectric stack, it is often used as the actuator in the active vibration control of the spindle. A piezoelectric self-sensing actuator (SSA) can reduce the cost of the active vibration control system and simplify the structure by eliminating the use of a sensor, because a SSA can have both actuating and sensing functions at the same time. The signal separation method of a SSA based on a bridge circuit is widely applied because of its simple principle and easy implementation. However, it is difficult to maintain dynamic balance of the circuit. Prior research has used adaptive algorithm to balance of the bridge circuit on the flexible beam dynamically, but those algorithms need no correlation between sensing and control voltage, which limit the applications of SSA in the vibration control of the rotor-bearing system. Here, the electromechanical coupling model of the piezoelectric stack is established, followed by establishment of the dynamic model of the spindle system. Next, a new adaptive signal separation method based on the bridge circuit is proposed, which can separate relative small sensing voltage from related mixed voltage adaptively. The experimental results show that when the self-sensing signal obtained from the proposed method is used as a displacement signal, the vibration of the motorized spindle can be suppressed effectively through a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) algorithm.

TL;DR: The circuit operation, analysis, and experimental performance verification for one of the proposed Transformer-less Dual Active Bridge DC/DC converters establish the suitability of the converter as the regulated first-stage of a two-stage 48 V input VRM.
Abstract: This paper proposes a new family of high power density Transformer-less Dual Active Bridge DC/DC converters. Each converter consists of a switched-capacitor voltage divider (SCVD) derived Switched-Capacitor Bridge circuit on the one side, a standard Half-Bridge or a Full-Bridge circuit on the other side, and a small AC link power transfer inductor connected strategically between them. The voltage matching between the two bridge circuits is achieved by changing the SCVD ratio of the Switched-Capacitor Bridge circuit. These converters have several other advantages like reduced switch voltage and current stresses, inherent soft switching for some of the switches, and efficient voltage regulation. The topological evolution of two among the proposed family of converters from their corresponding isolated versions is explained. Thereafter, the circuit operation, analysis, and experimental performance verification for one of these converters are presented. The experimental results establish the suitability of the converter as the regulated first-stage of a two-stage 48 V input VRM.

TL;DR: A new circuit topology is proposed which enables the switches to be active at different voltage levels, causes reduction of the switching losses and also increases the efficiency of the inverter.
Abstract: All industrial drives need a controlled output and it can be achieved by controlling the input supply. In this regard, the inverter circuit plays an important role in the applications of industrial drives. The industrial drives are operated at high rated power and the conventional inverters cannot be applicable for high power demands because of the large dV/dt (rate of change of voltage) and more switching losses. Therefore, multilevel inverters are introduced for high power-medium voltage applications. For all AC drives the MLIs are reliable in operation. This MLI topology also reduces the harmonics and bearings stress of a motor with low dV/dt. In most applications multilevel inverters are used because we can get more number of voltage levels. To increase the number of voltage levels, circuit needs to have more switches. But, we have to optimize the switch count and switching operations. The power level of the inverter is limited due to high currents and stress. In this paper, we proposed a new circuit topology which enables the switches to be active at different voltage levels, causes reduction of the switching losses and also increases the efficiency of the inverter. In this we have presented two configurations for an eleven level MLI for three phase induction motor drive application. In this an individual DC source is connected for each bridge circuit of each phase in one configuration and only one common DC link is used for three phases in another configuration. With this the size, cost and complexity could be decreased. In both the configurations the controlled output of the inverter is connected to the induction motor drive. The circuits are modeled using Matlab/simulink software and corresponding output waveforms are analyzed for both configurations.

Abstract: This study discloses the diode’s influences on the piezoelectric energy harvesting performance. The piezoelectric-based energy harvesting system plays an important role in scavenging environment vibration energy into electrical energy, which can be utilized by low-power electronic devices. With respect to the interface circuit, a full-wave bridge circuit is usually needed to rectify the alternating current (AC) signal into a direct current (DC) signal. The full-wave bridge is composed of four diodes, whose characteristics may influence the harvested power significantly. Therefore, in this paper, the diodes’ properties and influences on the energy harvesting performance are analyzed and presented via simulation and experimental studies. It is found the harvested energy has close relationship with the diode characteristics. For the high source impedance case, diode with low reverse leakage current is favorable.

A bridge circuit connecting two transistors with positive sign of the radiation sensitivity and two transistors with negative sign of the radiation sensitivity makes it possible to increase the dependence of the output voltage in the bridge diagonal on the absorbed radiation dose by an order of magnitude. The frequency sensor-converter of radiation designed on a unijunction transistor according to the circuit of the relaxation oscillator has the minimum number of individually attached components. The replacement of the resistor setting the current in the emitter circuit with a field-effect transistor sensitive to radiation increases the sensor sensitivity 5–10 times.
