A Sub-1 V Capacitively Biased BJT-Based Temperature Sensor With an Inaccuracy of ± 0.15 ∘ C (3 σ ) From − 55 ∘ C to 125 ∘ C

This article presents a sub-1 V bipolar junction transistor (BJT)-based temperature sensor that achieves both high accuracy and high energy efficiency. To avoid the extra headroom required by conventional current sources, the sensor’s diode-connected BJTs are biased by precharging sampling capacitors to the supply voltage and then discharging...

A Carrier-based Two-Phase-Clamped DPWM Strategy With Zero-Sequence Voltage Injection for Three-Phase Quasi-Two-Stage Buck-Type Rectifiers

A three-phase buck-type rectifier features a step-down ac-dc conversion function, which is considered as a prominent solution for electric vehicle chargers and telecommunication systems integrated to the grid above 380 V line to line. However, traditional solutions for those applications employ cascaded architectures with an ac-dc boost-type...
