Implementation aspects and offline digital signal processing of a smart pebble for river bed sediment transport monitoring
Kularatna, Nihal; Melville, Bruce; Kularatna-Abeywardana, Dulsha (2006)Conceptualization aspects of a smart sediment particle (smart pebble) for monitoring of sediment transport in riverbeds have been documented previously [1]. However, this mixed signal approach was done only at a conceptual ... -
Implementation aspects of a new linear regulator topology based on low frequency supercapacitor circulation
Kankanamge, Kosala; Kularatna, Nihal (IEEE, 2012)Point of load (POL) powering concepts are used in modern portable products where low dropout regulators (LDO) are mixed with switching regulators. However, LDOs are efficient only when the input to output differential ... -
Implementation of the supercapacitor-assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique in a practical surge protector
Fernando, Jayathu; Kularatna, Nihal; Talele, Sadhana (2014)Their combination of large continuous energy ratings and very large time constants allows supercapacitors to be used in surge protection circuits. This fact, supported by recent research publications and laboratory tests, ... -
Investigation of failure patterns of desktop computer power supplies using a lightning surge simulator and the generation of a database for a comprehensive surge propagation study
James, Sisira; Kularatna, Nihal; Steyn-Ross, D. Alistair; Pandey, A.; Künnemeyer, Rainer; Tantrigoda, D. (IEEE, 2010)According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) future VLSI devices of gigahertz capability are expected to have feature sizes below 45 nm with DC power supply requirements with sub 1V and the ... -
Laplace transform-based theoretical foundations and experimental validation: low-frequency supercapacitor circulation for efficiency improvements in linear regulators
Kankanamge, Kosala; Kularatna, Nihal; Steyn-Ross, D. Alistair (Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2012)Supercapacitor circulation techniques can be used to improve the end-to-end efficiency of linear regulators based on commercial low drop-out regulators (LDO). In this approach, one or more supercapacitors are used in series ...
