The piezoelectric (PE) fan is widely adopted in the field of microelectronics cooling due to its advantages of high reliability and good heat dissipation characteristics. However, PE fans driven by conventional circuits suffer from plenty of energy loss. To save energy, we propose an inductor-based charge recovery method and apply it to the driving circuit for the PE fan. Two inductor-based driving circuits, a single inductor-based driving (SID) circuit and a double inductor-based driving (DID) circuit are compared. The SID circuit has a simple structure and a slightly higher energy-saving rate, while the DID circuit introduces no additional oscillations and is more stable. The experimental results show that when the supply voltage changes, both circuits have a relatively stable energy-saving rate, which is about 30% for the SID circuit and 28% for the DID circuit. Moreover, the proposed circuits enjoy the same driving capacity as the conventional circuit, and the driven fan has the same cooling performance.

<p>Low-gain buck converters will enable low voltage loads to access high voltage DC sources by a single stage converter at very low duty cycles. SiC MOSFETs are still limited to 1.7kV commercially and by seriesing them with adequate gate driving strategy, high voltages can be switched. This paper proposes a driving circuit for series SiC MOSFETs to block higher voltages. The driving circuit provides negative off-state voltage and turn on/off transitions in less than 100ns. The low-gain buck converter performance is assessed when using a single IGBT switch and series SiC MOSFETs. A simulation is implemented and shows the superiority of the proposed driven series SiC MOSFETs with distributed voltage and thermal stresses.</p>

When designing the LED filament lamp device and driving circuit at the beginning, software simulation is an indispensable step. It is necessary to verify whether the circuit output results are consistent with the requirements through simulation. In this paper, first measure the volt-ampere characteristics of the actual 1W LED filament strip, and applied the six-segment linear approximation model method for Spice modeling. The simulated volt-ampere characteristics of the 1W model were consistent with the measured volt-ampere characteristics of the 1W LED filament strip. Then use the driver chip HV9910B to design the LED filament lamp switch constant current drive circuit. Combined with the piecewise linear equivalent method, 3W, 4W, 5W LED filament lamp loads are modeled, the detailed design process of the entire circuit is analyzed, and the output voltage, current, inductance output current, MOS output voltage and other parameters of the whole circuit are simulated and verified. The results show that the output voltages are 71V, 142V, 71V, and the output currents are 30.4mA, 20.7mA, 51.1mA respectively under the circuit topology of 3W, 4W, and 5W LED filament lamp. When the inductor current works in CCM mode, the duty cycle of MOS output voltage meets the requirements, and the circuit output results are consistent with the design requirements.

The thin film magneto-impedance sensor is useful for detecting a magnetic material nondestructively. The sensor made by single layer uniaxial amorphous thin film has a tolerance against surface normal magnetic field because of its demagnetizing force in the thickness direction. Our previous study proposed the sensitive driving circuit using 400 MHz high frequency current running through the sensor to detect the logarithmic amplifier. We also confirmed the sensitivity of the sensor within 0.3 T static normal magnetic field, which resulted in detection of 5 × 10−8 T of 5 Hz signal. This paper proposes a nondestructive inspection system for how detecting a contaminant of small tool steel chipping in aluminum casting specimen would be carried out. Three channel array sensors installed in the 30 mT static field detecting area were fabricated and experimentally showed a detection of low remanence magnetic contaminant in a bulk aluminum casing specimen.
