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 Self-Adapting Synchronized-Switch Interface Circuit for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters
Chamanian, Salar; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01)
This paper presents a self-adapting synchronized-switch harvesting (SA-SSH) interface circuit to extract energy from vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs). The implemented circuit utilizes a novel switching technique to recycle optimum amount of harvested charge on piezoelectric capacitance to strengthen the damping force, and simultaneously achieve load-independent energy extraction with a single inductor. Charge recycling is realized by adjusting extraction time, and optimized through a m...
A signal overshoot suppression circuit for digital step attenuators
Kocer, Fatih (2017-03-01)
This paper presents a novel control circuit that eliminates signal overshoot inherent to digital step attenuators (DSA) during state transitions. With the addition of digital delay elements, transitions from attenuation state to insertion loss state is delayed with respect to the transition from the insertion loss state to the attenuation state. This prevents unintended signal leakage to the output, eliminating possible signal overshoot. Since this novel technique achieves signal overshoot suppression with ...
A Multilevel Voltage Source Inverter for Two-Phase AC Motor Drive Systems
Guerreiro, M.; Fernao Pires, V.; Foito, D.; Cordeiro, A. (2011-09-10)
This paper presents and studies a multilevel converter with two DC voltage sources and three H Bridges. The inverter modulates two independent single-phase voltages using a four wires output. The design of the inverter allows five levels to the modulated voltages that feed an asymmetrical two windings phase induction motor. The classical SPWM technique was used to modulate the multilevel power inverter switches; the frequency of the carrier (a triangular wave) was varied and total harmonic distortion (THD) ...
