“…Except the DC excited wound field, the permanent magnet-assisted CPA (PMa-CPA) has permanent magnet placing into the rotor, so that the torque density and power efficiency can be improved. In addition to connecting to the diode-bridge rectifier to supply power to vehicles, it has been shown that the switched-mode rectification with pulse-width modulation (PWM) coupled with some dedicated controls can provide great improvements in the transient response, efficiency, and power capability in previous works [16,17]. A variety of integrated circuits (IC), such as Freescale TC80310, ONSEMI CS3361, ST L9409, and ST L9914, have been designed for the voltage regulation in various automobiles [18][19][20][21].…”
