This paper proposes a design of a low-power operational amplifier (op-amp) for pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) applications using a 0.13-$\mu $m CMOS process. The folded-cascode topology with NMOS input types is employed for the op-amp design due to a larger output gain compared to PMOS input types. Furthermore, the op-amp is designed with a double detection structure of a common-mode feedback circuit to provide stable feedback voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed op-amp achieved a gain of 64.5 dB and a unity gain bandwidth of 695.1 MHz with a low power consumption of 0.14 mW. In addition, by …

In the algorithm, it is enough to define the section type (high-pass or low-pass) and the number of elements in the sections; there is no need to select the exact circuit topologies for the high-pass and low-pass sections. This is a natural consequence of the proposed approach. Unlike in the methods described in the literature, there is also no need to derive …

However, most of these approaches succumb to the cluster-based behavior of the anomalies. To resolve this problem in our study, we use flow and graph-clustering concepts to create a data set first. A new criterion related to the average weight of clusters is then defined and a model is proposed to detect attacks based on the above-mentioned criterion. Finally, the model is evaluated using a DARPA data set. Results show that the proposed approach detects the attacks with high accuracy relative to methods …

Reconstruction Of A Single Square Pulse Originally Having 40 Ps Width Coming From A Lossy And Noisy Channel In A Point To Point Interconnect, Alak Majumder, Bidyut Bhattacharyya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The fundamental problem in high speed communication is that it suffers a lot of signal integrity issues due to dispersion (caused by dielectric variation with angular frequency), reflection (S$_{11})$, and insertion losses (S$_{12})$ of the channel made of copper. When a pulse width $\tau $ with magnitude V$_{0}$ is driven through a lossy channel, we observe a reduction in magnitude (due to S$_{12}$ and S$_{11})$ and an increase in pulse width (due to dispersion). It causes different values of skin effect and dielectric loss leading to different effective resistance at each segment as the pulse moves through the channel. This …

Modified Control Of The Matrix Converter-Based Drive For Voltage Sag Impact Reduction, Gytis Petrauskas, Gytis Svinkunas Jan 2017

Modified Control Of The Matrix Converter-Based Drive For Voltage Sag Impact Reduction, Gytis Petrauskas, Gytis Svinkunas

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Faults in transmission and distribution networks often cause voltage sags. Direct matrix converter (DMC)-based drives are a new generation of electrical drives. Unlike the conventional two-stage diode supply-side inverter drive, the DMC drive has no direct current (DC) link capacitor and no capacitor charging-time delay before operation. The absence of a DC link makes the DMC-based drive more sensitive to voltage sags. The above-mentioned faults in transmission and distribution networks could degrade the DMC drive's performance and reliability. This paper investigates possible kinds and levels of voltage sags, dependency on network configuration, and the behavior of the DMC-based drive under …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The 3-level T-type neutral point clamped (T-NPC) inverter has become the most popular multilevel inverter used in low-voltage applications. However, the realization of a bidirectional switch located at the midpoint leg of the T-NPC inverter is achieved using two insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) with two antiparallel diodes. Power dissipation in these switches is high since there are two semiconductors (an IGBT and a diode) in the current path at the midpoint leg. Switch losses can be reduced and thus the highest conversion efficiency can be achieved if the bidirectional switches in the T-NPC inverter are replaced by highly efficient …
