A novel lumped-element topology is presented for a wideband 3-dB 90 degrees hybrid coupler where design and implementation are straightforward. In the design, only lumped LC elements are used, and the topology employs a simple widebanding technique. Depending on the allowed ripple, theoretical bandwidths up to 80% are achievable. Both return losses and isolations are theoretically infinite at the center frequency and remain better than 15 dB over the band depending on the proper choice of design parameters. Design can be optimized with respect to bandwidth, passband ripple, and balance between output signals. To have common grounds at the ports, lattice-type LC baluns are used. Theoretically, the phase difference between output signals deviates less than 2 degrees depending on the application. An X-band monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is realized for the topology. The measurement results show that the circuit has a 49% bandwidth with 1.2-dB ripple and less than 6 degrees phase deviation from 90 degrees over the band.

A CMOS switched-capacitor interface circuit for an integrated accelerometer Külah, Haluk; Najafi, K (2000-01-01) This paper presents a CMOS interface electronics for monolithic micromachined capacitive accelerometer systems. The interface electronics is a fully differential switched-capacitor charge integrator with its internal clock generator and sensor feedback circuit for closed-loop operation. The circuit is designed for open-loop and closed-loop operations, and provides both digital and differential analog outputs. One of the main advantages of this chip is that it can be monolithically integrated with the sensor...
A unity-power-factor buck-type PWM rectifier for medium/high-power DC motor drive applications Bilgin, HF; Kose, KN; Zenginobuz, G; Ermiş, Muammer; Nalcaci, E; Cadirci, I; Kose, H (2002-09-01) This paper describes the application of a single-stage unity-power-factor buck-type pulsewidth modulation (PWM) rectifier to medium- and high-power variable-speed dc motor drives. The advantages of the developed system are low harmonic distortion in ac supply currents (complying with IEEE Std. 519 and IEC 555), nearly unity power factor over a wide operating shaft speed range, and nearly level armature current and voltage waveforms. These properties of output voltage and current quantities of the converter ...
A self-powered integrated interface circuit for low power piezoelectric energy harvesters Chamanian, S.; Zorlu, O.; Külah, Haluk; Muhtaroglu, A. (2013-12-18) This paper presents a CMOS integrated interface circuit for piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH). A fully self-powered circuit, based on Synchronous Electric Charge extraction (SECE) technique, is implemented for non-resonant piezoelectric harvesters generating low power, in 10s to 100s mu W range. The circuit is realized in standard 180 nm UMC CMOS technology. A switch control circuit is designed and optimized to extract maximum power independently from excitation changes of the PEH. The total power loss ...
A CMOS High Frequency Pulse Width Modulation Integrated Circuit Sahin, Osman Ulas; Kocer, Fatih (2016-08-05) In this work, a high frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) integrated circuit (IC) designed and implemented in a commercial 0.35 mu m CMOS process is presented. Based on natural sampling method, the proposed PWM IC can generate both a PWM signal and its inverse for arbitrary frequencies up to 5 MHz. The PWM frequency can he adjusted via an external clock and an off-chip capacitor. The duty cycle of the PWM signal can be linearly varied from 5% to 95% by changing the input signal. Thanks to its analog trian...
A Novel Method For 2-18 GHz Switched Multiplexer Design Alıcıoğlu, Bülent; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) A novel topology is developed and used to design a switched multiplexer. In the new topology there are two noncontiguous switched multiplexer modules containing the channels 2-4 GHz, 6-8 GHz, 10-12 GHz and 14-16 GHz named as odd channels and 4-6 GHz, 8-10 GHz, 12-14 GHz and 16-18 GHz, named as even channels to improve isolation between adjacent channels. The input signal is split at input into the two multiplexer and the outputs of the multiplexers are combined by 2-18 GHz power dividers. The input and outp...
