Symmetrical Boost Concept for Solar Applications up to 1000V – an Article by Vincotech

November 21st 2011 – In a transformer-less solar inverter application the symmetry of split supply DC voltages with ground is an important issue. The concept described in this article shows the handling of both the input and the output asymmetry in an MPP booster circuit. 

There are two different example concepts. The first example demonstrates how to connect solar panel strings with different power and intensity conditions on a solar inverter environment. There is also the possibility to combine panels with different power and MPP characteristics within the booster.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
