Low-Power Design of Delay Interpolating VCO
2008
In this paper, a design methodology for low-power MCML based delay interpolating VCOs is presented. The methodology allows a fast and accurate graphical evaluation of the optimum design. It utilizes two closed form expressions for the upper and lower oscillation frequencies of the VCO. An expression of the tuning range is also derived. The effectiveness of the proposed design methodology has been tested by simulating several VCOs in an IBM 0.13 mum CMOS technology.
Study and design of a controlled oscillator for an embedded system to measure the complex impedance of PEM fuel cell »
2017
We present in this paper the study and the design of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for an embedded system to diagnose the PEM fuel cell. Some problems related to fuel cells used in the electric vehicle field are the management of its efficiency and the lifetime of its membranes. To do this, the diagnosis using measuring the complex impedance is an important phase. It is based on the injection of a perturbation signal at the output of the PEM fuel cell, then we observe its behavior by measuring its impedance. The used measurement method is the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using the load modulation technique, which is implemented in an embedded measurement system based…
