Integrated Auto-Reconfigurable Power-Supply Network With Multidirectional Energy Transfer for Self-Reliant Energy-Harvesting Applications

High-performance all-solid-state asymmetric stretchable supercapacitors based on wrinkled MnO2/CNT and Fe2O3/CNT macrofilms

“…Along with the rapid development of exible electronics, stretchable electronics are springing up as a new technological advancement due to their reversible stretchability while still maintaining their functionality. [1][2][3][4] Stretchability represents a rigorous challenge of mechanical stability. Stretchable devices must bear large strain deformation and signicant shape deformation, including bending, twisting, stretching, etc.…”

Programmable Topology Derivation and Analysis of Integrated Three-Port DC-DC Converters with Reduced Switches for Low-Cost Applications

“…In order to obtain small-signal linearized equation, all variables in (12) and (13) are assumed to be equal to their given quiescent values plus some superimposed small ac variations [32]. After neglecting the dc terms as well as second-order terms, their first-order ac terms are respectively derived in (14)~ (15), based on which a unified small-signal model are obtained in Fig. 9.…”

“…To construct a multi-port system, employing multiple conventional single-input single-output (SISO) dc-dc converters is a feasible solution, but undesired high cost and large volume are incurred due to the large number of components. Actually, components such as magnetic elements and semiconductor devices in different power electronics converters can be multiplexed to achieve reduced cost, which have been adopted to derive a variety of integrated multi-port converters in [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…In [9,10], only one transformer with several secondary windings is demanded in the flyback converter to provide multiple outputs. And a common inductor is shared in the single-inductor multi-port converters to transfer power among multiple input and output ports in [11][12][13][14][15]. Therefore, magnetic components which usually account for a large proportion of converter weight and volume are effectively reduced in these multi-port converters.…”

DC–DC SIDO converter with low‐voltage stress on switches: analysis of operating modes and design considerations

“…Single-inductor-multi-port converters are a good way of providing different output voltages. Apart from the isolated converters presented in [14][15][16][17], other types of non-isolated multiport converters are proposed in [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], in which only one inductor is used, and consequently the cost is low. Furthermore, there is another advantage for these converters that they can suppress the simultaneous voltage regulation of the output ports problem when the converter operates in the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM).…”
