Signal Integrity - A Crash Course [R Lott]Ryan Lott
This document provides an introduction to signal integrity for interconnects. It discusses typical interconnects like PCB traces, cables, and connectors and the signal integrity problems they can cause, such as loss, reflections, crosstalk, and ringing. It also introduces concepts like characteristic impedance, frequency-dependent loss, and how signals propagate as electromagnetic waves.

Latch-up occurs in CMOS chips due to the interaction of parasitic bipolar transistors that form a silicon-controlled rectifier between the power and ground rails. This can cause excessive currents and potentially damage devices. Latch-up can be triggered by disturbances that increase the collector current of one of the parasitic transistors, activating positive feedback between the transistors. Guidelines for preventing latch-up include using guard rings connected to power and ground around transistors to reduce resistance and capture minority carriers, as well as placing wells and substrate contacts close to transistor sources.

To Diminish the Voltage Sag Replaced DVR with Generalized Modulation Strategy...IRJET Journal
This document discusses replacing a conventional Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) with a matrix converter to compensate for voltage sags. A DVR injects voltage to maintain the load voltage during disturbances. Conventional DVRs use bulky AC-DC-AC converters. The proposed model replaces this with a matrix converter to avoid energy storage and allow for higher power density. A matrix converter directly converts AC to AC using bi-directional switches. It can compensate for voltage sags and swells more efficiently than a conventional DVR without energy storage limitations. Simulation results show the DVR with matrix converter effectively regulates voltage during faults.

FirmLeak is a framework that enables accurate, real-time estimation of microprocessor leakage power by system firmware. It accounts for factors like power-gating regions, per-core voltage domains, and manufacturing variations. FirmLeak uses pre-silicon leakage abstracts that are independent of process, voltage, and temperature variations to estimate leakage power contributions from different device types and calculate the total runtime leakage power.
The document discusses reactive power and voltage control in power systems. It defines voltage collapse as occurring when the system is unable to meet the reactive power demand, typically due to heavy loading, faults, or insufficient reactive power generation/compensation. Voltage collapse can be studied by examining the generation, transmission, and consumption of reactive power in the system. The nature of voltage collapse can be transient or long-term depending on the time scale of the disturbance and system components involved. Analytical methods for assessing voltage stability treat the system as a two-bus model and define a critical voltage and reactance value below which the system becomes unstable. Reactive power support measures are needed to maintain voltage stability.

The paper concludes the D-STATCOM effectively mitigates voltage sags and enhances power quality in the distribution
Voltage stability refers to a power system's ability to maintain steady voltages at all buses in the system after being subjected to a disturbance. It can be analyzed through both dynamic and static analyses. Dynamic analysis examines nonlinear system performance over time using numerical integration methods to solve differential equations modeling the system. Static analysis uses linearized models and methods like V-Q sensitivity and continuation power flow to determine stability margins. Both large and small disturbance voltage stability are important to consider, with large disturbances requiring longer term dynamic simulations. The continuation power flow method iteratively solves the power flow equations while increasing the load parameter to determine the voltage stability limit.
