The State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI and the Institute of Microelectronics have published four new books in Springer. These books provide comprehensive insights into cutting-edge technologies and methodologies in integrated power, multidisciplinary microelectronics and power electronics.
Advanced Controllers Design for Hybrid Active Power Filters by Chi-Seng Lam, Cheng Gong, and Wai-Kit Sou focuses on different advanced current control strategies of LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (LC-HAPF) and Thyristor controlled LC-coupling hybrid active power filter (TCLC-HAPF). Both topologies and their corresponding advanced current control strategies are introduced, with more weight placed on the current control strategies. A total of 9 advanced current control strategies are studied in detail for both LC-HAPF and TCLC-HAPF. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of advanced current controller design is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suitable for readers who are interested in learning the design and implementation of current controller design for HAPFs. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering, power electronics, control strategy, etc.
Fully-Integrated Low-Dropout Regulators by Xiangyu Mao, Yan Lu, and Rui Martins offers an in-depth discussion of the key specifications of fully integrated low-dropout regulators (LDOs). The book covers classic analog architectures as well as state-of-the-art digital and switching control methods. Readers will gain valuable design insights and comparisons of various LDO architectures, enabling them to select the most suitable architecture for their needs.
Revealing Hybrid DC-DC Converters by Mo Huang and Rui Martins provides a thorough introduction to hybrid DC-DC converters, which integrate both inductors and capacitors for high efficiency and high power density. It explains the advantages and disadvantages of numerous hybrid converters and demonstrates how to use a simple DC transformer model to analyze complex circuits. Readers will be guided in selecting the optimal topology for specific applications and inventing new hybrid converters.
CMOS-based Portable NMR/MRI Microsystems by Shuhao Fan, Qi Zhou, Ka-Meng Lei, Rui Martins, and Pui-In Mak describes the complete design of CMOS-based multi-nuclear NMR/MRI microsystems. The authors emphasize optimizing semiconductor chip design to enhance the performance of compact systems. They discuss integrated circuit design for customized modules, such as 3-D gradient controllers for MRI and high-resolution multi-phase generators for advanced composite radio-frequency excitation pulse synthesis. This book drives system innovation and expands functionality in miniaturized NMR/MRI platforms.
These publications are essential resources for professionals and researchers in the field of analog circuits and signal processing. They offer detailed insights and practical guidelines for designing and optimizing advanced electronic systems.
