Abstract—This paper discusses the use of printed circuit board (PCB) integrated inductors for low power dc/dc buck converters. Coreless, magnetic plates and closed core structures are compared in terms of achievable inductance, power handling and efficiency in a footprint of 10 10mm2. The magnetic

This paper presents the design and modeling of a square inductor for its integration in Buck converter DC-DC. The first, we calculate the value of inductance. The second, we descript our inductor; dimensioning and electrical model. A buck micro converter schematic simulation coupled with ideal

Abstract-This paper presents the design and measured results for micro-fabricated inductors suitable for use in high frequency (> 10 MHz), low power (1 –2 W) dc-dc converters. The design has focused on maximizing inductor efficiency for a given converter specification. Inductors in the range

Abstract—A cost-effective thermal compensation technique for CMOS digital integrated circuits (ICs) is proposed. The technique features a temperature-adaptive DC-DC converter, serving as both temperature detector and variable power supply. The converter adopts a delay-line based analog

We consider the problem of embedding one signal (e.g., a digital watermark), within another "host" signal to form a third, "composite" signal. The embedding is designed to achieve efficient tradeoffs among the three conflicting goals of maximizing information-embedding rate

This thesis presents the design of a step-up DC-DC converter with on-chip cou-pled inductors. Circuit theory of DC-DC converters in general is presented, after which a mathematical model of a step up converter is developed. A circuit im-plementation optimized from results of the mathematical model

In this paper, we propose a new design of DC-DC buck converter (BC), which the spiral inductor is replaced by a differential gyrator with capacitor load (gyrator-C) implemented in 0.18um CMOS process. The gyrator-C transforms the capacitor load (which is the parasitic capacitor of MOSFETS

—the currency crisis deepens the banking crisis, activating a vicious spiral; financial liberalization often precedes banking crises. The anatomy of these episodes suggests that crises occur as the economy enters a recession, following a prolonged boom in economic activity that was fueled by credit, capital

Ptolemy is an environment for simulation and prototyping of heterogeneous systems. It uses modern object-oriented software technology (C++) to model each subsystem in a natural and efficient manner, and to integrate these subsystems into a whole. Ptolemy encompasses practically all aspects
