Purpose This paper aims to present an inverter with a current-source input for 400 Hz avionic systems to have a system which removes DC-link capacitors and presents a high efficiency. Design/methodology/approach A battery-powered DC link inductor generates a constant-current source. A single high-frequency switch is used to provide a sinusoidally modulated current before the inverter. The output of the switch is “unfolded” by a thyristor-based H-bridge inverter to generate an AC output current. The system uses a CL low-pass filter to obtain a 400 Hz pure sine wave by removing pulse width modulation components. Findings Simulations and Typhoon HIL real-time experiments were performed with closed-loop control to validate the proposed inverter concept while meeting the critical standards of MIL-STD-704F. Originality/value This current source inverter topology is suitable for avionic systems that require 400 Hz output frequency. The topology uses small DC-link inductor and eliminates bulky capacitor which determines the inverter lifetime.

This paper designed a range of 0.1 ~ 250 kHz sine wave sweeping constant current source, which sine wave generator based on FPGA chip and DDS technology, the desired sine wave frequency was obtained by controlling the frequency control words. Low-pass filter circuit was realized by using the LTC1560-1, conversion circuit from the voltage to the current was consisted of a Howland current pump. The constant current source shows a good spectral impedance purity and amplitude.

The new pipe pressure sensor is a clamp-on ICP (Integrated Circuit Piezoelectric) type dynamic pressure sensor, mainly for the clamp-on pressure testing of high pressure fuel pipe. In testing, the vibration of the fuel injection pumps and diesel engine will disturb the clamp-on pressure signals, resulting in one of the measured signal to noise ratio is low, the second is the test system, in particular the signal transmission have a significant impact. In response to these problems, designed a PCI data acquisition card building-in constant-current source and special low pass filter, and developed the corresponding data acquisition software based on C++ Builder. The bench and real vehicle testing show: the test system can better fit with the new type pressure sensor to obtain accurate clamp-on pressure signals.

According to the driving characteristics of giant magnetostrictive material and the principle of constant current source analysis, the continuously adjustable driving power was developed by adopting the principle of constant current, selecting power operational amplifier, and using parallel flow technology to expand its output current, which had a large current, large output power, high efficiency and low power consumption. And through the actual test, the driving power of giant magnetostictive actuator reveals a good performance.

Abstract In order to satisfy the requirements of TDLAS gas measurement, the DFB laser drive and temperature control system is designed with taking STM32F103RCT6 as the main control chip, including sine wave and sawtooth signal generation circuit, temperature acquisition circuit and temperature control circuit, etc. The sine wave and the sawtooth wave signal are respectively generated by using the DDS chip and the STM32 on-chip DAC, and the two are superimposed to control the constant current source to drive the laser. At the same time, the internal temperature of the laser is collected and controlled. The DFB laser with a center wavelength of 1653.7 nm is used to verify the CH4. The experiment proves that the system can generate stable laser driving signals and achieve precise temperature control. The temperature control accuracy can reach ±0.013 °C. The design satisfies the requirements of TDLAS gas detection system for laser driving and temperature control.

Abstract— Some measures of merit of an inverter system are the total harmonic distortion and the efficiency figures. On one hand, we have square wave and modified square wave inverters that have high efficiency and total harmonic distortion (THD) figures. On the other hand, there are the true sine wave inverters that have low THDs and relatively low efficiency figures at high output power levels. In this work, a five level waveform that can be synthesized efficiently was analysed for low distortion figures, and a THD figure of 1.25% was obtained. A microcontroller-based inverter circuit was designed to synthesize this waveform from a 12 volts d.c source. The microcontroller firmware and hardware were developed using MicroC® and Proteus® softwares respectively. The developed circuit generated a 50 Hz sinusoidal output waveform from a 12 volts battery source after filtering with an LC low pass filter.

Carbon nanotube field emission display (CNT-FED) is one of the most significant subjects due to its unique qualities and perfect performance. But there are still some problems in FED, for example, the modulation of each pixel unit of field emission display device is discrete, and the traditional voltage pulse-width modulation driving mode cannot solve luminance non-uniformity and non-linearity of FED. So a novel driving circuit based on cathode current source is proposed. The current driving circuit can be fabricated on Si substrate in advance, and then carbon nanotube is grown at room temperature, carbon nanotube and constant current source circuits are integrated on the same Si substrate. Current source circuit and cathode emission part are integrated together, which not only can solve the FED luminance problem, but also can meet FED thin design.
