An approach to programmable CTD filters using coefficients 0, + 1, and -1

Abstract: A delta modulation-like sampled analog filter structure for realizing low-pass filters is described. The filter uses only the coefficients 0, + 1 , and -1 and can be fabricated as a programmable CCD filter. Interpolation and decimation are employed to increase the accuracy of the delta modulation. It is shown that with this scheme a given response can be realized arbitrarily closely. Examples are included.

Sigma delta modulator with distributed prefiltering and feedback

Abstract: A separate filter circuit is inserted between the D/A converter and the summing junction in the feedback path of a conventional sigma delta modulator. This additional filter allows control of the quantization noise transfer function profile independently of the forward signal transfer function. By proper tailoring of the transfer functions a third or higher order modulator can be constructed without instability developing.

Embedded EZ-Source Inverters

Abstract: Z-source inverters are recent topological options proposed for buck-boost energy conversion with a number of possible voltage and current-type circuitries already reported in the literature. Comparing them, a common feature noted is their inclusion of a LC impedance network, placed between the dc input source and inverter bridge. This impedance network allows the output end of a voltage-type Z-source inverter to be shorted for voltage-boosting without causing a large current flow, and the terminal current of a current-type inverter to be interrupted for current boosting without introducing over-voltage oscillations to the system. Therefore, Z-source inverters are in effect safer and less complex, and can be implemented using only passive elements with no additional active semiconductor needed. Believing in the prospects of Z-source inverters, this paper contributes by introducing a new family of embedded EZ-source inverters that can produce the same gain as the Z-source inverters, but with smoother and smaller current / voltage maintained across the dc input source and within the impedance network. These latter features are attained without using any additional passive filter, which surely is a favorable advantage since an added filter will raise the system cost, and at times can complicate the dynamic tuning and resonant consideration of the inverters. The same embedded concept can also be used for designing a full range of voltage and current-type inverters with each of them tested experimentally using a number of scaled down laboratory prototypes.

Sliding mode direct control of matrix converters

Abstract: The direct control problem of matrix converters with input inductive capacitive (LC) filter using a new approach based on the sliding mode control technique is solved. This approach allows the design of the controller considering the converter and the dynamics of its associated LC filter. Together with the space vector representation technique, sliding mode allows the precise determination of switching times between the bi-directional switches, thus being appropriate to the nonlinear ON/OFF behaviour of the matrix converter power semiconductors. As the switching occurs just in time, this technique guarantees fast response times and precise control actions, ensuring that the output voltages and the input currents track their references and making input power factor regulation independent of the input filter parameters. This feature has special interest in applications requiring unity input power factor, when feeding AC drives, or applications needing variable and accurate input power factor regulation, usually related to power quality enhancement. The designed sliding mode controllers are tested and the obtained simulation and experimental results show that they ensure the direct control of matrix converters over a wide range of output frequencies, guaranteeing a leading or lagging input power factor regulation.

A monolithic CMOS 2368/spl plusmn/30 MHz transformer based Q-enhanced series-C coupled resonator bandpass filter

Abstract: A three-pole 0.1 dB ripple Chebyshev series-C coupled resonator bandpass filter with transformer-based Q-enhancement is presented. This Q-enhancement technique compensates resonator loss and produces a flat passband response with low insertion loss. The compensation scheme uses frequency-dependent negative resistance to compensate frequency-dependent inductor losses, avoiding passband distortion, which is a problem with cross-coupled negative resistance circuits. Fabricated in 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS, the measured filter center frequency is 2368 MHz with a 60 MHz (3 dB) bandwidth, including probe pad and connecting trace parasitic losses. The filter draws 5.84 mA at 1.5 V, and the die area is 1.5 mm/spl times/1.5 mm.
