  • Qualitative and Tuning Performance of MOSFET Based Small-Signal Darlington Pair Amplifiers
    2013
    Co-Authors: Susmrita Srivastava
    Abstract:

    Abstract: Two different circuit models of RC coupled small-signal amplifiers are developed using identical power MOSFETs in Darlington Pair configuration. Proposed circuits successfully eliminate the poor frequency response problem of Darlington Pair amplifiers at higher frequencies. An additional biasing resistance R A, ranging from 1KΩ to 100KΩ, is to be essentially used in the proposed circuits to maintain their voltage/current amplification property. In presence of R A, proposed amplifiers crop considerably high voltage gains, moderate range bandwidths and sufficiently high current gains in 1-10mV input signal range at 1 KHz frequency. Both the circuits can be tuned in specific audible frequency range, extending approximately from 130Hz to 55KHz. Tuning performance makes these amplifier circuits suitable to use in Radio and TV receivers. The qualitative and tuning performance offer a flexible application to these amplifiers to be used as high voltage gain, high power gain and tuned amplifiers. Variations in voltage gain as a function of frequency and different biasing resistances, temperature dependency of performance parameters, bandwidth and total harmonic distortion of the amplifiers are also perused to provide a wide spectrum to the qualitative studies

    International Journal of Advanced Research in Electrical Electronics and Instrumentation Energy, 2013
    Co-Authors: Sachchidan, Shukla, Susmrita Srivastava
    Abstract:

    A small-signal amplifier with two identical JFETs in Darlington Pair is proposed and qualitatively analyzed perhaps for the first time. Unlike CS-JFET amplifiers, the voltage gain of this amplifier is significantly higher than unity. In addition, this amplifier can also be tuned in the specific range of audible frequency extended from 90Hz to 19KHz. Tuning performance makes this amplifier suitable to use in Radio and TV receivers. An additional biasing resistance RA, ranging in 3KΩ to 1MΩ, is to be essentially used in the proposed circuit to maintain its voltage/current amplification property. With this additional biasing resistance, the proposed amplifier crops considerably wide bandwidth (12.365MHz), significantly high current gain (530.909) and fairly high voltage gain (9.108) in 1-80mV input signal range at 1 KHz frequency. These properties offer a flexible application range to the proposed amplifier as high power gain, wide band, or tuned amplifier in permissible audio-frequency range. Variations in voltage gain as a function of frequency and different biasing resistances, temperature dependency of performance parameters, bandwidth and total harmonic distortion of the amplifier are also perused to provide a wide spectrum to the qualitative studies.

    Co-Authors: Susmrita Srivastava, Sachchidan, Naresh Kumar Chaudhary, Shukla
    Abstract:

    A new circuit model of a small-signal narrow-band amplifier is proposed and analyzed on the qualitative scale. Proposed amplifier uses two MOSFETs and a BJT in Triple Darlington configuration with two additional biasing resistances in the circuit. With low distortion percentage (1.28%), the proposed circuit successfully amplifies small-signals of 1-10mV range and simultaneously provides high voltage gain (311.593) and current gain (13.971K) with narrow bandwidth (9.665KHz). Variations of maximum voltage gain with different biasing resistances and DC supply voltage and the temperature sensitivity of various performance parameters are elaborately studied and discussed in length. Qualitative performance of the proposed amplifier is also compared with the circuit which is having BJT-MOSFET in Darlington Pair configuration. The proposed amplifier can be used to process audio range signal excursions and may be useful for those applications where high voltage and current gain would be the prime requirement of amplification in narrow-band low frequency region.

  • Design of a Voltage to Time Converter with High Conversion Gain for Reliable and Secure Autonomous Vehicles
    Electronics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Nandakishor Yadav, Youngbae Kim, Mahmoud Alashi, Kyuwon Ken Choi
    Abstract:

    Automation of vehicles requires a secure, reliable, and real-time on-chip system. These systems also require very high-speed and compact on-chip analog to digital converters (ADC). The conventional ADC cannot fulfill this requirement. In this paper, we proposed a Darlington Pair- and source biasing-based high speed, secure, and reliable voltage to time converter (VTC). It is a compact, high-speed design and gives high conversion gain. The source biasing also helps to increase the input voltage range. The conversion gain of the proposed circuit is 101.43ns/v, which is 52 times greater than the gain achieved by state-of-the-art design. It also shows less effect of process variation and bias temperature instability.

  • SUBHDIP: process variations tolerant subthreshold Darlington Pair-based NBTI sensor circuit
    IET Computers & Digital Techniques, 2018
    Co-Authors: Ambika Prasad Shah, Nandakishor Yadav, Ankur Beohar, Santosh Kumar Vishvakarma
    Abstract:

    Aggressive technology scaling has inevitably led to reliability becomes a major concern for modern high-speed and high-performance integrated circuits. The major reliability concerns in nanoscale very-large-scale integration design are the time-dependent negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) degradation. Owing to increasing vertical oxide field and higher operating temperature, the threshold voltage of P-channel MOS transistors increases with time under NBTI. This study presents a novel subthreshold Darlington Pair-based NBTI degradation sensor under the stress conditions. The proposed sensor provides the high degree of linearity and sensitivity under subthreshold conditions. The Darlington Pair used in the circuit provides the stability and the high-input impedance of the circuit makes it less affected by the process variations. Owing to high sensitivity, the proposed sensor is best suited for sensing of temperature variation, process variation, and temporal degradation during measurement. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor at room temperature is 0.239 mV/nA under subthreshold conditions. The proposed sensor is less affected by the process variation and has the maximum deviation of 0.0011 mV at standby leakage current of 30 nA.

  • Implementation of a Si/SiC hybrid optically controlled high power switching device
    Silicon-based and Hybrid Optoelectronics IV, 2002
    Co-Authors: P Bhadri, E Guliants, K. Ye, Fred R Beyette
    Abstract:

    The ever-increasing performance and economic requirements placed on commercial and military aircraft are resulting in the need for very complex avionic systems. To help alleviate some of the design complexity, fiber optic components have been suggested as an enabling technology that could allow the creation of an optical communications network routed throughout the avionic systems of an aircraft. Based on the often-cited benefits of high data throughput, immunity to EMI, reduced maintenance costs and reduced weight, the use of fiber optic links to communicate control signals and sensor information throughout the aircraft could lead to significant performance improvements for next generation aircraft. Fly-by-Light systems that use optical control signals to actuate the flight surfaces of an aircraft have been suggested as an important technology for avionic systems where degradation of signal integrity due to EMI can have catastrophic consequences. Current fly-by-light systems are limited by the lack of optically activated high-power switching devices. The challenge has been the development of an optoelectronic switching technology that can withstand the high power and harsh environmental conditions common in a flight surface actuation system. Wide bandgap semiconductors such as Silicon Carbide offer the potential to overcome both the temperature and voltage blocking limitations that inhibit the use of Silicon. Unfortunately, SiC is not optically active at the near IR wavelengths where communications grade light sources are readily available. Thus, we have proposed a hybrid device that combines a silicon based photoreceiver module with a SiC power transistor. When illuminated with a 5mW optical control signal the silicon chip produces a 15 mA drive current for a SiC Darlington Pair. The SiC Darlington Pair then produces a 150 A current that is suitable for driving an electric motor with sufficient horsepower to actuate the control surfaces on an aircraft. Further, when the optical signal is turned off, the SiC is capable of holding off a 270 V potential to insure that the motor drive current is completely off. We present in this paper the design and initial test results from a prototype device that has recently been fabricated.

  • Design and simulation of a smart optically controlled high-power switch based on a Si/SiC hybrid device structure
    Optoelectronic and Wireless Data Management Processing Storage and Retrieval, 2001
    Co-Authors: P Bhadri, Deepti Sukumaran, Samhita Dasgupta, Fred R Beyette
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT In avionic systems, data integrity and high data rates are necessary for stable flight control. Unfortunately, conventional electronic control systems are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can reduce the clarity of flight control signals. Fly-by-Light systems that use optical signals to actuate the flight control surfaces of an aircraft have been suggested as a solution to the EMI problem in avionic systems. Fly-by-Light in avionic systems reduces electromagnetic interference hence improving the clarity of the control signals. A hybrid approach combining a silicon photoreceiver module with a SiC power transistor is proposed. The resulting device uses a 5mW optical control signal to produce a 150A current suitable for driving an electric motor . Keywords: Optically Controlled Switch, Silicon Carbide Devices, High Power Switching 1. INTRODUCTION Fiber optic component technology has been under development by the government and industry laboratories for over 20 years. The ever-increasing performance and economy of operation requirements placed on commercial and military transport aircraft are resulting in very complex systems. The often-cited benefits are high data throughput, immunity to EMI, reduced certification and maintenance costs and reduced weight features. These all motivate their application to flight control systems. Current Fly-by-Light systems are limited by the lack of optically activated high power switching devices. Due to there high breakdown voltages and ability to withstand high operating temperatures Silicon Carbide transistors have been suggested as ideal switching devices for high power applications. Unfortunately, SiC is not optically active at the near IR wavelengths where communications grade light sources are readily available. Thus, a hybrid approach is proposed that combines a silicon photoreceiver module with a SiC power transistor. The Silicon Chip consists of a photodetector, a receiver circuit and diagnostic circuits for real time evaluation of the control system operation. An analysis of the silicon chip design indicates that less than 5mW of optical signal is required to activate the silicon chip. When illuminated with the 5mW optical control signal the silicon chip produces a 15mA current that is used to drive a SiC Darlington Pair. With a 15mA input current, the SiC chip will produce a 150 A current suitable for driving an electric motor with sufficient horsepower to actuate the control surfaces on an aircraft. In this paper we will report on our recent efforts towards demonstration of this hybrid Si-SiC module.
