Instrument for determining coincidence and elapse time between independent sources of random sequential events

An instrument that receives pulses from a primary external source and one or more secondary external sources and determines when there is coincidence between the primary and one of the secondary sources is described. The instrument generates a finite time window (coincidence aperture) during which coincidence is defined to have occurred. The time intervals between coincidence apertures in which coincidences occur are measured

A programmable integrated power supply for the electrostatic-drive micromotor

A 6-phase bipolarized, high-voltage power supply with rectangular pulse shape has been designed to study the special operational characteristics of various electrostatic-drive micromotors. In particular the design powers the variable-capacitance side-drive micromotor. This power supply provides variable frequency, variable voltage, and variable duty-cycle control. Simulation has been used extensively in the design and design verification. The bipolarization (dual voltage polarity) of each pair of the phases reduces physical clamping of the rotor to the electrical shield beneath it. Thus, bipolarization of the voltage supplied to the stator nodes reduces charge build-up on the rotor. The output frequency range varying from 1Hz to 40KHz has been achieved. This supply frequency range corresponds to motor rotational speed range of 5rpm to 200Krpm, for a micromotor with 12 stator poles and 8 rotor poles (3:2 architec-ture). The voltage amplitudes of all six phases can be varied from 20 to 200Volts. The duty cycle of each phase can be changed by means of a parallel register. The output with variable duty cycle has been obtained, changing from 50% non-overlapping to 33% overlapping. The power supply with 6-phase bipolarized output, variable frequency, and variable voltage output has been constructed with prototyping wire wrap boards, and assembled in a card cage. The power supply is shown to meet the design specification

High Performance Low Power Dual Edge Triggered Static D Flip-Flop

In this paper a low-power double-edge triggered static flip-flop (DETSFF) suitable for low-power and high performance applications is presented. The designed DETFF is verified at gpdk 180nm-1.8V CMOS technology. Comparison with some of the latest DETFFs shows that the proposed DETSFF can achieve the lowest power consumption, lowest clock to Q delay and thus Power-delay-product (PDP). Moreover, the proposed DETSFF comprises of only 15 transistors hence require lesser number of transistors and thus requires lesser overall silicon area.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i5.316
