A supercapacitor based enhancement technique for stand-alone surge protection circuits
Fernando, Jayathu; Kularatna, Nihal (IEEE, 2013)With the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors predicting below-25nm feature-size VLSIs, powered by DC power supplies of less than 1V, protection against transients has become mandatory for modern electronic ... -
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, ... -
A low frequency supercapacitor circulation technique to improve the efficiency of linear regulators based on LDO ICs
Kularatna, Nihal; Fernando, Jayathu; Kankanamge, Kosala; Zhang, Xu (IEEE, 2011)Linear regulators have output specifications far superior to switch-mode techniques, except for the overall efficiency. This efficiency limitation can be overcome by applying a very low frequency supercapacitor circulation ... -
A supercapacitor technique for efficiency improvement in linear regulators
Kularatna, Nihal; Fernando, Jayathu (IEEE, 2009)Paper describes a novel supercapacitor based approach to recover the wasted energy in linear regulators. In this US patent pending technique, a single supercapacitor or an array of supercapacitors could be coupled with a ... -
Surge capability testing of supercapacitor families using a lightning surge simulator
Kularatna, Nihal; Fernando, Jayathu; Pandey, Amit; James, Sisira (IEEE, 2011)Supercapacitors (SCs) are capable of storing energy in the range of fractional joules to several thousands of joules despite their lower dc voltage ratings. Farad-order capacitances combined with milliohm-order equivalent ...
