On-chips MOS supply voltage converter

The work is dealing with the problem of developing an embedded system for supply voltage converter of Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) with advanced built-in ability to measure the volt-ampere (I – V) characteristics of structures directly during their operation. This feature is crucial in the development of a new generation of intelligent OLED controllers, which in relation to known solutions, are characterized by reduced power consumption and increased speed of periodic or continuous measurement of the I – V characteristics of OLED structures. On the basis of such measurement the drift of characteristics of OLED structures in the course of their operation is carried out, and therefore, the possibility of operative correction of their power modes is provided. The measurement of I – V characteristics of OLED structures is performed on the transients of voltage generation in the boost circuits of the drivers. To meet the requirements for such measurements, the parameters of the transient pulses must meet certain criteria. The pulse amplitude should be sufficient to scan the I – V characteristics of OLED structures in the whole range of their possible operation, and the shape and rise time should be optimal from the point of view of further detection of these I – V patterns, in particular, regarding their drift in temperature modulation or OLED structure degradation. In a number of tasks scanning and measurement of I – V characteristics should be fast enough to prevent heating, but acceptable for high-precision analog-to-digital conversion. The parameters of the pulses provide the ability to measure the thermal parameters of thermal resistance and its dependence on the duration of heating. The controller is implemented on the basis of programmable systems on the chip, namely on the PSoC 5LP.

In this paper, a wideband full-360o phase shifter with 6 bits of accuracy has been designed and simulated with minimal root mean square (RMS) phase error. The proposed phase shifter deployed a feed forward path including a frequency-to-voltage converter (FVC) to minimize the mismatch in quadrature generation to eventually reduce the RMS phase error for S-band (2–4[Formula: see text]GHz) applications. The designed phase shifter in 180[Formula: see text]nm CMOS technology achieves an RMS phase error in the range of 0.607–1.18∘ with [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBm input signal over 2–4[Formula: see text]GHz frequency band. With lower input signal of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBm, the RMS phase error is 0.621–1.34∘ for 2–4[Formula: see text]GHz input frequency. The proposed phase shifter shows an RMS amplitude error less than 0.41[Formula: see text]dB over 2–4[Formula: see text]GHz frequency. The 1-dB compression point ([Formula: see text]) of the proposed phase shifter is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBm. The proposed wideband phase shifter draws 32 mA from 1.8 supply voltage. It occupies an active area of only 0.025[Formula: see text]mm2, due to active design without any inductor.

The article analyses the operational characteristics of 10W LED lamps with T8 bulb manufactured by ASD (Russia), Smartbuy (Taiwan), and VOLPE (PRC) and 18W FL with T8 bulb manufactured by PHILIPS (Poland) including the dependence of these lamps on the supply voltage. The results of measurements show that: a) the period of stabilisation of electric parameters and luminous flux of LED lamps does not cause discomfort of illumination unlike the said FL, the luminous flux of which at the moment of switching on is 70 % of the nominal value, which is reached after 13 minutes; b) with nominal voltage of supply network, the value of luminous flux of 10W ASD LED-T8R-STD LED lamp (Russia) is 6 % less than the declared one, and that of Smartbuy SBL-T8-10-64K-A (Taiwan) and VOLPE LED-T8-10W/DW/G13/FR/FIX/N (PRC) is even less; c) the general colour rendering index of all studied LED lamps is less than the declared one (72 instead of 80); d) the flicker index of all studied LED lamps does not exceed the declared value of 5 %; e) the characteristics of LED lamps almost do not depend on changes of the supply voltage within the range of ±10 %. The recommendations regarding the application of the studied LED lamps are given.

Harmonic Composition

The article describes the results of the study concerning the effect of the voltage level on current harmonic composition in greenhouses irradiators. It is found that its change affects the level of current harmonics of all types of the studied greenhouse irradiators. With decrease of nominal supply voltage by 10 %, the total harmonic distortion THDi decreases by 9 % for emitters equipped with high pressure sodium lamps (HPSL), by 10 % for emitters with electrode-less lamps and by 3 % for LED based emitters. With increase of nominal supply voltage by 10 %, THDi increases by 23 % for lighting devices equipped with HPSL, by 10 % for irradiators with electrode-less lamps and by 3 % for LED based emitters. Therefore, changes of supply voltage cause the least effect on the level of current harmonics of LED based emitters and then the emitters with electrode-less lamps. Change of the level of supply voltage causes the greatest effect on the level of current harmonics of HPSL based irradiators. Mathematical models of dependence of THDi on the level of supply voltage for greenhouse emitters equipped with LED, electrode-less lamps and HPSL lamps were formulated. These mathematical models may be used for calculations of total current when selecting transformers and supply cable lines for greenhouse lighting devices, for design of new or reconstruction of existing irradiation systems of greenhouse facilities, and for calculation of power losses in power supply networks of greenhouse facilities during feasibility studies for energy saving and energy efficiency increasing projects.
