A Fully Integrated 230 VRMS-to-12 VDC AC-DC Converter Achieving 9 mW/mm2 KU Leuven
This work presents a fully integrated 230 VRMS-to-12 VDC AC-DC converter in 180 nm high-voltage CMOS SOI. The proposed AC-DC converter includes a multi-ratio switched-capacitor DC-DC converter (SCC). The reconfiguration is realized by parallelizing stages in the SCC using low-voltage configuration switches. Internally generated DC nodes are connected, resulting in low losses. The input control includes a resettable capacitive divider with ...
A cryogenic inertial sensor for terrestrial and lunar gravitational-wave detection KU Leuven
Future gravitational-wave detectors on Earth and on the Moon aim to access signals below 10Hz. On Earth, the Einstein Telescope - a next generation interferometric gravitational-wave detector — will extend the detection band down to 3 Hz. On the Moon, the Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna will feature extremely sensitive accelerometers that can monitor the Moon’s body excited by gravitational waves from the lunar surface. Our cryogenic ...
