  • Dual active bridge control circuit for use with unbalanced grid voltages
    Patent number: 10491132
    Abstract: A control circuit for converting an unbalanced grid voltage into a DC voltage is provided. The control circuit includes a controller having a voltage detection module, a first transformation module, a level shift module, and a second transformation module. The voltage detection module provides voltage component values indicating the voltage in each phase of a three-phase AC power supply. The first transformation module converts the voltage component values from a stationary reference frame into reference voltage signals in a rotating reference frame using a Clarke-Park transform. The level shift module compensates the reference voltage signals to simulate a balanced three-phase AC voltage. The second transformation module converts the compensated reference voltage signals from the rotating reference frame to the stationary reference frame using an inverse Clarke-Park transform.

  • Power distribution networks (PDNs) using hybrid grid and pillar arrangements
    Patent number: 10380308
    Abstract: Power distribution networks (PDNs) using hybrid grid and pillar arrangements are disclosed. In particular, a process for designing an integrated circuit (IC) considers various design criteria when placing and routing the PDN for the IC. Exemplary design criteria include switching frequencies, current densities, and decoupling capacitance and their impact on temperature. In areas of high localized temperature, a power grid structure is used. In other areas, shared metal track pillars may be used. By mixing power grids with pillars, the IC may reduce local hotspots by allowing the grid to help dissipate heat and assist with decoupling capacitance while at the same time providing pillars in areas of high current density to reduce resistive losses.
