Thin oxide films are dominantly used as insulating materials in a wide range of CMOS electronic devices. Continuous scaling, governed by Moores Law, dictates that the thickness of oxides materials could be as thin as a few nanometers. Consequently, a generation of oxide defects, through field-driven and thermal-driven processes, presents a serious reliability challenge. On the other hand, a controllable formation of oxide defects in simple metal-insulator (oxide)-metal devices has recently attracted significant attention for the realization of Resistive RAMs (RRAMs) novel type of non-volatile memory technology that offers a low programming energy [1], a rapid switching [2], and a very high levels of integration [3]. In this paper we model the generating of Joule heating as a result of the current flow through a defective thin oxide layer. We use the representation of resistive network as well as the Fourier Heat Equation to simulate the oxide matrix and the heat flow. Our simulation demonstrates that temperatures generated by the Joule heating can easily reach the value of 900K or more after a few hundred microseconds. Precise control of the current flow timing is the key parameter to prevent the extensive heating and the oxide damage.

Nowadays, DC/DC converters are widely used in industrial applications and renewable energy systems. A SEPIC (single-ended primary inductance converter) DC-DC converter is capable of operating in either step-up or step-down mode and commonly used in a battery charger system. This paper presents the modeling and analyzing of the SEPIC with coupled and uncoupled inductors. In this study, the state-space averaged (SSA) model is established and built in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The obtained SEPIC model was simulated for different input parameters, and results of coupled and uncoupled are compared. Moreover, the small signal model is used for linearization of the SSA model of the SEPIC with coupled and uncoupled inductors, hence the transfer function of control (duty cycle) to output voltage is formulated. Bode plots of the duty cycle to output voltage transfer functions are constructed, and the result can be used in various applications to design a closed-loop controller to regulate the output voltage.

In this paper a novel architecture for control system design in networked environment is presented, where the consistent distribution of the control system functionalities is proposed to the dedicated time-aware system components. The sensing, actuating and algorithmic functionalities are uniformly encapsulated into the passive system components utilized as a network-accessible service groups. Service agents are introduced as novel active components of the distributed middleware that provide automation of real-time data transport between the service groups across the arbitrary control system network topology. The networked control system architecture and operation are verified through drying chamber temperature control case study where generalized predictive control algorithm is used for the process control and recursive least-square estimation for the monitoring and fault detection. The main benefit of the proposed architecture can be found in the domain of the system integration which is effectively decoupled from the design of individual system components. The system integration can be performed in run-time through the configuration of the consisting system components and the need of specialized closed-loop application is eliminated. System with just basic functionalities can be easily upgraded to full fault detection and SCADA coverage or any other advanced functionality.

The energy harvesting applications becomes omnipresent, utilizing different harvesting techniques to collect energy from ambient. Recently, the electromagnetic field energy harvesting attracted attention, with objective to provide nearly unlimited power supply, particularly for variety of the low-power electronic devices. Furthermore, the inductive assemblies have been recognized as reliable, low cost and adaptive collectors for such kind of energy. Therefore, in this preliminary research paper, the inductive sensors with variable geometry have been analyzed, regarding increase of their overall inductance, with a basic idea to try in that way to collect and store more energy from surrounding electro magnetic field. The approach of partial inductance modeling has been used for the performance analyses of those inductors.

Finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is a promising control scheme for power converters/inverters and electric drives due to its flexibility and simplicity. Using all the possible voltage vectors (VVs) generated by the inverter (7 VVs for 2-level inverter) and a discrete-time model of the system, the future behavior of the inverter can be predicted. Then, a certain cost function is employed for selecting the best switching action that will be applied in the next sampling interval (7 evaluations of the cost function are required). Accordingly, the main disadvantage of the traditional FCS-MPC scheme is the heavy calculation load. In this paper, an efficient FCS-MPC method for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) inverter is proposed in order to reduce the calculation burden of the traditional FCS-MPC. Based on the required reference current, the reference voltage vector (VV) is directly calculated. Then the sector where this reference VV is located is identified from its angle. Consequently, the cost function is evaluated only three times to obtain the optimal switching vector. The performance of the proposed efficient FCS-MPC is compared with the traditional FCS-MPC and voltage oriented control (VOC) schemes by simulation results for all operation conditions.

The grid impedance ratio R/X value is the starting point for several conventional studies, such as DC power flow calculations. The conventional studies can be replaced with more generalized studies, in which the grid impedance ratio plays an important role. This paper presents a generalized droop control approach without the requisite estimation of the grid impedance ratio. Instead of performing large mathematical calculations, in order to estimate the grid impedance ratio, it is assumed that this ratio maintains a constant impact on the generalized droop control in medium and low voltage power electric grids. In this paper the performances of such a generalized droop control approach are compared to the performances of the conventional droop control approach, observing a system with two parallel connected voltage source inverters. Simulation results figure out the great advantages in application of modified generalized droop control, compared to the conventional droop control - maintaining better voltage levels as well as a more reasonable power sharing behavior.

Minimal power dissipation is one of the main characteristics of portable devices, smart sensor networks and nodes, medical equipments, etc. The best choice is the sub threshold CMOS regime, where supply voltage is lower than threshold voltage of MOS transistor. In this paper it is shown that in sub threshold CMOS regime, dissipation is influenced by transistor threshold voltage, beside supply voltage and CMOS technology parameters. It is shown that by decreasing threshold voltage the total dissipation increases. An energy efficient design means multiple-threshold CMOS. The analytic model of CMOS inverter dissipation is confirmed with simulations of 1-bit adder in P Spice, with implementation of 90 nm CMOS technology parameters.

Renewable energy demand increases due to environmentally friendly. Power electronics development enhance the power quality produced. Standalone application multilevel inverter can help in improve rural area which is no electrified. For a multilevel inverter, the output required low total harmonics distortion and voltage boosting character. However, the conventional multilevel inverter are high distortion with high switching frequency. This paper is presenting multilevel inverter with selective harmonics elimination on reduce total harmonics distortion (THD) apply in standalone concept. 9-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter is applied with optimize harmonics stepped waveform (OSHW) to compare performance with sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). In OSHW, selective harmonics elimination is used to reduce the low harmonics component which is 3rd, 5th and 7th harmonics. Genetic algorithm are applied to solve the non-linear equation on solving the best switching angle. The result show OHSW have lower THD then SPWM. Meanwhile OHSW eliminated low harmonics component by the aid of genetic algorithm which exist due to the low switching frequency.

Proper inclusion of EM analysis in the design flow of RF integrated circuits (RFIC) proves to be essential in avoiding costly re-spins, reducing both design cost and time-to-market. However, EM modeling and simulation is not straight-forward, due to the nature and complexity of the EM analysis, as well as the relative immaturity of the methodology and integration of appropriate tools in traditional IC design flow. The aim of this paper is to assist the RFIC designer in the area of EM simulation, first with presenting some modeling and simulation issues that are of importance for successful design, followed by a set of design examples presented from an EM perspective, illustrating problems, possible solution, and emphasizing the importance of EM modeling and simulation in modern RFIC design.
