TL;DR: By adding the load current into the filter inductor current loop, the influence of the nonlinear load on the grid current can be eliminated, and the waveform quality of the output voltage in stand-alone mode can be improved.
Abstract: This paper presents a control of single-phase grid-interactive inverters with nonlinear loads. The utility-connected inverter should operate at both stand-alone and grid-connected modes. However, the waveform qualities of the grid current in grid-connected mode and the output voltage in stand-alone mode are poor under the nonlinear critical load with the conventional control. The impact of the nonlinear load on the grid current is analyzed. The proposed control is illustrated in detail. By adding the load current into the filter inductor current loop, the influence of the nonlinear load on the grid current can be eliminated, and the waveform quality of the output voltage in stand-alone mode can be improved. The control method is simple and easy to be achieved. The grid-connected inverter is stable at both modes. The filter inductor is chosen. Simulation and experimental results from a 1-kW dual-buck full-bridge grid-interactive inverter with a diode rectifier load verify the theoretical analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe both a structure and method of fabricating both copper metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors and thick metal inductors, simultaneously, with only one mask, for high frequency mixed-signal or Rf, CMOS applications, in a damascene and dual-damascene trench/via process.
Abstract: In many mixed-signal or radio frequency Rf applications, inductors and capacitors are needed at the same time. For a high performance inductor devices, a thick metal layer is needed to increase performance, usually requiring an extra masking process. The present invention describes both a structure and method of fabricating both copper metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors and thick metal inductors, simultaneously, with only one mask, for high frequency mixed-signal or Rf, CMOS applications, in a damascene and dual damascene trench/via process. High performance device structures formed by this invention include: parallel plate capacitor bottom metal (CBM) electrodes and capacitor top metal (CTM) electrodes, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors, thick inductor metal wiring, interconnects and contact vias.

TL;DR: Fully integrated microinductors and microtransformers based on two different geometries and ferrite composite materials are designed, fabricated, tested, and compared as discussed by the authors, and are deposited at low temperature, making them compatible with organic electronic packaging substrates.
Abstract: Fully integrated microinductors and microtransformers based on two different geometries and ferrite composite materials are designed, fabricated, tested, and compared. These devices are based on screen printed polymer/ferrite composites and electroplated copper coils, and are deposited at low temperature, making them compatible with organic electronic packaging substrates.

TL;DR: In this article, a DC-to-DC converter that uses an H-bridge driver to alternately energize first and second inductors is presented. But the authors do not consider the use of smaller inductors.
Abstract: Improved conversion efficiency and lower output ripple are achieved by a DC-to-DC converter that uses an H-bridge driver to alternately energize first and second inductors. By alternately energizing the first and second inductors, a higher switching frequency can be maintained allowing for the use of smaller inductors while reducing ripple in the output voltage. The reduced ripple in turn reduces the need for filtering. Additionally, the first and second inductors are wound about a common core such that a mutual inductance exists therebetween. The mutual inductance results in trapezoidal currents in each inductor instead of the typical sawtooth waveforms. This results in still lower ripple in the output voltage.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that additional inductors are not strictly necessary by showing that common-mode resonance can be obtained using a single tank, and an NMOS architecture that uses a single differential inductor and a CMOS design that use a single transformer are presented.
Abstract: The performance of a differential LC oscillator can be enhanced by resonating the common mode of the circuit at twice the oscillation frequency. When this technique is correctly employed, Q-degradation due to the triode operation of the differential pair is eliminated and flicker noise is nulled. Until recently, one or more tail inductors have been used to achieve this common-mode resonance. In this paper, we demonstrate that additional inductors are not strictly necessary by showing that common-mode resonance can be obtained using a single tank. We present an NMOS architecture that uses a single differential inductor and a CMOS design that uses a single transformer. Prototypes are presented that achieve figure-of-merits of 192 and 195 dBc/Hz, respectively.
