We carry-out a detailed analysis of direct voltage control of a Boost converter feeding a simple resistive load. First, we prove that using a classical PI control to stabilize a desired equilibrium leads to a very complicated dynamic…
This paper proposes a new methodology for design of a stabilizing control law for multi-input linear systems with time-varying, singular gains on the control. The results presented here assume the control gain to satisfy persistence of…
This paper reports on the behaviour of Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) detectors under continuous light. Usually, the bias circuit of a SiPM has a resistor connected in series to it, which protects the sensor from drawing too high current.…
Future high-energy physics experiments using SiPMs as photosensitive elements may require operation at low temperatures (down to 80 K) to measure single photons with high time resolution in a highly radioactive environment. This calls for a…
This paper explores the voltage regulation challenges in boost converter systems, which are critical components in power electronics due to their ability to step up voltage levels efficiently. The proposed control algorithm ensures…
To assess the viability of a shallow-depth neutrino detector, a Cosmic Muon Veto Detector (CMVD) is being constructed on top of the stack of Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors at TIFR, Mumbai. The CMVD employs extruded plastic…
It has been known for some time that proportional output feedback will stabilize MIMO, minimum-phase, linear time-invariant systems if the feedback gain is sufficiently large. High-gain adaptive controllers achieve stability by…
The traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm for regulation suffers from a tradeoff: placing the sensor near the sample being regulated ensures that its steady-state temperature matches the desired setpoint. However, the…
Narrow-channel accumulated body nMOSFET devices with p-type side-gates surrounding the active area have been electrically characterized between 100 and 400 K with varied side-gate biasing (Vside). The subthreshold slope (SS) and drain…
This paper presents a Gm-C dynamic amplifier with high linearity and high temperature and power supply voltage stability. The main part of the amplifier employs two asymmetric differential pairs to enhance transconductance linearity. The…
A sliding-mode-based adaptive boundary control law is proposed for a class of uncertain thermal reaction-diffusion processes subject to matched disturbances. The disturbances are assumed to be bounded, but the corresponding bounds are…
Electrolysis systems use proportional-integral-derivative (PID) temperature controllers to maintain stack temperatures around set points. However, heat transfer delays in electrolysis systems cause manual tuning of PID temperature…
This paper describes hardware and software improvements of the INRIM coaxial microcalorimeter together with their outcome on the primary power standard realization in the frequency band 0.05 - 40 GHz. A better temperature and power…
Self-heating in surrounding gate transistors can degrade its on-current performance and reduce lifetime. If a transistor heats/cools with time-constants less than the inverse of the operating frequency, a predictable, frequency-independent…
We demonstrate the capabilities of a high temperature measurement set-up recently developed at our institute. It is dedicated to the characterization of semiconductor devices and test structures in the temperature range from room…
The main effect of radiation damage in a Silicon-Photolumtiplier (SiPM) is a dramatic increase in the dark current. The power dissipated, if not properly cooled, heats the SiPM, whose performance parameters depend on temperature. Heating…
Temperature is a major source of inaccuracy in high-sensitivity accelerometers and gravimeters. Active thermal control systems require power and may not be ideal in some contexts such as airborne or spaceborne applications. We propose a…
The cosmic ray veto detector for the Mu2e experiment consists of scintillation bars embedded with wavelength-shifting fibers and read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). In this manuscript the calibration procedures of the SiPMs are…
The relative stability of SiC polytypes, changing with temperature, has been considered a paradox for about thirty years, due to discrepancies between theory and experiments. Based on ab-initio calculations including van der Waals…
Temperature changes affect the coercivity of permanent magnets, thereby impacting the $Bl$ factor and potentially introducing systematic errors in Kibble balance measurements. While the thermal-magnetic effect is negligible in large magnet…
