300 GHz six-stage Differential-Mode amplifier
2010 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, 2010Co-Authors: H.j. Park, J.s. Rieh, J.b. HackerAbstract:A 300 GHz amplifier is fabricated using indium-phosphide (InP) double-heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) technology. The cascade chain in the amplifier contains six unit cells each containing a pair of common-base DHBTs in Differential configuration. A total of three signal lines run through to the unit-cell to obtain the Differential-Mode amplifier gain and provide proper dc bias. Measured results show the peak gain of 17.3 dB at 290 GHz with 10-dB gain-bandwidth of 20 GHz.

Modulation Scheme for Three-Phase Differential-Mode Ćuk Inverter
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2016Co-Authors: Siamak Mehrnami, Sudip K. Mazumder, Harshit SoniAbstract:Three-phase Differential-Mode inverters are single-stage inverters, which have the potential to reduce the number of devices and cost with higher power density. Among such inverter topologies, Differential-Mode three-phase Ćuk inverter (DTCI) has some advantage over other topologies, including modularity, lower number of switches, bidirectional power flow capability, and galvanic isolation. DTCI is a promising configuration for renewable-/alternative-energy applications with isolated and nonisolated structures. The continuous modulation scheme (CMS), which was introduced originally for the DTCI, activates all of three modules of the inverter. CMS increases the circulating power in modules and hence increases inverter power loss. This paper describes a discontinuous modulation scheme (DMS) for the DTCI which deactivates one module at a time resulting in a discontinuous operation of the inverter modules. The experimental open- and closed-loop results of DMS- and CMS-based DTCI are provided and compared. DMS reduces the circulating power, device voltage ratings, and mitigates the DTCI losses. The DTCI exhibits a nonlinear voltage gain with both DMS and CMS. It has been demonstrated that by feed-forwarding the input voltage and incorporating a static linearization method, the harmonic distortion of the output voltage is considerably reduced.

Modular control of a Differential-Mode inverter
2015 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), 2015Co-Authors: Sudip K. Mazumder, Harshit SoniAbstract:Recently, the operation of a new class of three-phase Differential-Mode inverter have been proposed and their efficacy demonstrated using a discontinuous-modulation-scheme (DMS) based Differential-Mode Ćuk inverter (DMCI). DMS-based DMCI has a completely-modular topological configuration. To extend this modularity of the power stage to control implementation, one has to deal with the nonlinearity due to converter topology and DMS-based topological switching. This paper, starting with an original non-modular control scheme developed based on multi-module sensing and control transitions to a modular control of the DMCI. Experimental results validate the efficacy of the control implementation.

CICC - A linear transconductance amplifier with Differential-Mode bandwidth extension and common-Mode compensation
2015 IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), 2015Co-Authors: Derui Kong, Shahin Mehdizad Taleie, Michael Joseph McgowanAbstract:A transconductance amplifier with extended bandwidth, which is a critical block in various applications including amplifiers, filters and DACs, is presented. The presented technique introduces a Differential-Mode negative capacitance while introduces the common-Mode positive capacitance such that it extends the Differential-Mode bandwidth and compensates the common-Mode stability. The proposed transconductance amplifier has been implemented for a DAC in CMOS 20nm to improve the distortion performance as a negative transconductance circuit, but the proposed technique is applicable to the wide range of circuits with a transconductor.

An integrated inverter output passive sinewave filter for eliminating both common and Differential Mode PWM motor drive problems
2017 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC), 2017Co-Authors: Todd ShudarekAbstract:An integrated output filter that eliminates motor problems due to the PWM waveforms in both common Mode and Differential Mode operation is proposed. The filter includes a three phase inductor constructed with tricore laminations with six mutually coupled windings. The windings possess Differential Mode inductance and proportionally very large common Mode inductance characteristics. The single integrated inductor with the capacitors creates a low pass filter with additional band stop attenuation near the switching frequency in both common Mode and Differential Mode operation. The filter voltage transfer functions are derived. A prototype was constructed and test results presented. Simulation results correlated well with the prototype test data. The prototype filter reduced the Differential Mode THVD to 4.6% while the common Mode voltage near the PWM switching frequency was reduced by 90%.
