Lu, Qi (author), Li, Shuangmu (author), Zhao, B. (author), Jiang, Junmin (author), Chen, Zhiyuan (author), Du, S. (author)Multiple voltage conversion ratio (VCR) recursive switched-capacitor (SC) dc-dc converters, based on several basic 2:1 converters, are widely used for on-chip power supplies due to their flexible VCRs for higher energy efficiency. However, conventional multiple VCR SC converters usually have one or more 2:1 converters unused for some VCRs,...journal article 2023

HUA, YUAN (author)This thesis presents a 48V-to-1V 10-level dual inductor hybrid converter (DIHC) containing 11 on-chip switches and an off-chip Gallium Nitride (GaN) switch. Thanks to the 10-level Dickson switched-capacitor (SC) circuit, most of the voltage stress will be taken over by off-chip capacitors, which reduces the voltage stress of each switch to 4.8 V...master thesis 2022

X-type step-up multi-level inverter with reduced component count based on switched-capacitor conceptAzimi, Erfan (author), Khodaparast, Aryorad (author), Rostami, Mohammad Javad (author), Adabi, Jafar (author), Ebrahim Adabi, M. (author), Rezanejad, Mohammad (author), Rodrigues, Eduardo M. G. (author), Pouresmaeil, Edris (author)This paper aims to present a novel switched-capacitor multi-level inverter. The presented structure generates a staircase near sinusoidal AC voltage by using a single DC source and a few capacitors to step-up the input voltage. The nearest level control (NLC) strategy is used to control the operation of the converter. These switching states...journal article 2020

Urso, A. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Dijkhuis, Johan F. (author), Liu, Yao-Hong (author), Babaie, M. (author), Serdijn, W.A. (author)This article presents guidelines for designing the power supply blocks of RF oscillators. To preserve their spectral purity, the requirements on the noise and ripple of the supply voltage are firstly evaluated based on the oscillator supply pushing factor and the oscillator Figure-of-Merit (FOM). Those specifications are then employed to design...journal article 2020
