This paper presents two new tiny high-temperature adjustable voltage regulators. CHT-VEGA can regulate a 5V ±10% input voltage to an output within the range 1.1V to 3.6V and delivering up to 500mA at 225°C (junction). The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider and is maintained within +/−5% total accuracy in all load, line and temperature conditions. The second device, CHT-RIGEL, supports a wide input voltage range up to 30V; its output is adjustable between 1.8V and 24V, with up to 100mA capability at 225°C. Both chips feature a thermal shut-down with a threshold in the 250∼300°C range: the first over-temperature protection of this kind in high temperature devices. CISSOID created a new TDFP SMD package that combines tiny size and good thermal resistance. A detailed thermal characterization is presented, as well as what it means for the operating temperature, and the impact on PCB footprint and system cost. As a conclusion, will be highlighted the benefits of using such ICs rated 225°C at junction level, even if the ambient temperature of the application remains low (e.g. 175°C), and in particular the impact on reduction of the PCB footprint, compared to 175–210°C ratings.

A full-bridge converter with an additional resonant circuit and variable secondary turns is presented and achieved to have soft-switching operation on active devices, wide voltage input operation and low freewheeling current loss. The resonant tank is linked to the lagging-leg of the full bridge pulse-width modulation converter to realize zero-voltage switching (ZVS) characteristic on the power switches. Therefore, the wide ZVS operation can be accomplished in the presented circuit over the whole input voltage range and output load. To overcome the wide voltage variation on renewable energy applications such as DC wind power and solar power conversion, two winding sets are used on the output-side of the proposed converter to obtain the different voltage gains. Therefore, the wide voltage input from 90 to 450 V (Vin,max = 5Vin,min) is implemented in the presented circuit. To further improve the freewheeling current loss issue in the conventional phase-shift pulse-width modulation converter, an auxiliary DC voltage generated from the resonant circuit is adopted to reduce this freewheeling current loss. Compared to the multi-stage DC converters with wide input voltage range operation, the proposed circuit has a low freewheeling current loss, low switching loss and a simple control algorithm. The studied circuit is tested and the experimental results are demonstrated to testify the performance of the resented circuit.

Cleaner and greener energy sources have proliferated on a worldwide basis, creating distributed energy systems. Given the unreliable nature of the renewable sources such as solar and wind, they are traditionally based on inverters interfaced with legacy AC grid systems. While efficiency, output waveform quality and other technical specifications of inverters keep improving gradually, only limited attention is given to widening the input range of inverters. This paper presents a new supercapacitor assisted (SCA) technique to widen the input range of an inverter without modifying the inverter itself. Developing a prototype version of a 24 V DC input capable supercapacitor-assisted wide input (SCASWI) inverter using a supercapacitor circulation front end and a commercial 12 V DC line frequency inverter is detailed in the article, explaining how the SCASWI inverter technique doubles the input voltage while maintaining the useful characteristics of the commercial inverter. The new technique has the added advantage of DC-UPS capability based on a long-life supercapacitor module.
