Skin Effect◦Derivate the Skin Depth

Level-shifting Circuits for Controlling Signal◦Non-isolating Techniques

Some Results of Capacitor Test

Content

◦ Increase in → Increase in Because the current concentrated near to the

surface of the conductor

Skin depth:δ =

Skin Effect

AC current distribution in a cylindrical conductor(Picture from the Internet)

◦ Cause of Skin Effect:Magnetic Induction

(due to the changing field in the conductor)

◦ Inside the conductor:

Skin Effect (Cont’d)

Coordinates for the cylindrical conductor

◦ Relationship between J and B

• J: flow in y-direction Equal in x-direction

B: flow in x-direction Equal in y-direction

◦ J and B only change in z-direction

Skin Effect (Cont’d)

Coordinates for the cylindrical conductor

◦ J and B only change in z-direction

◦ This become a 2nd Order ODE

◦ Solution:

→

Shift Signal level from V1 to V2

◦ A Passive Level Shifting Circuit

Easy to implement Suffer from many problems

Level-shifting Circuits

◦ Active Level-Shifting Circuits Often use in digital interface

Require a voltage source for output Use active switch

Level-shifting Circuits (Cont’d)

◦ Active Level-Shifting Circuits

Level-shifting Circuits (Cont’d)

Higher Voltage Version The resistors limit the current→ Low Speed

Higher Speed→ Higher Current

→ Higher Loss Some solutions in the

industry

◦ Reduce the Duty-ratio of the Switch

◦ Use encoding and latch◦ Mature technique in commercial Products

Conclusion◦ Passive Level-Shifter Easy to implement No voltage source (use Vs to supply) Easily get malfunction

◦ Active Level-Shifter Require a voltage supply More complicated digital circuits

Network Analyzer◦ Resonant frequency shift to left due to the

increase in Ls◦ Low resolution of phase angle◦ Convenient to plot the frequency response

Further Works to be Done◦ More samples of each model◦ Try different of types (e.g. Electrolyte)◦ Test with higher voltage/current using amplifier◦ AC vs AC superposed with DC◦ Reduce the effect of additional inductance
