Electronic devices such as medical instruments implanted in the human body and electronic control units installed in automobiles have a large impact on human life. The electronic circuits in these devices require highly reliable operation. Radiographic testing has recently been in strong demand as a nondestructive way to help ensure high reliability. Companies that use high-density micrometer-scale circuits or lithium-ion batteries require high speed and high magnification inspection of all parts. The authors have developed a new X-ray source supporting these requirements. The X-ray source has a sealed tube with a transmissive target on a diamond window that offers advantages over X-ray sources having a sealed tube with a reflective target. The X-ray source provides high-power-density X-ray with no anode degradation and a longer shelf life. In this paper, the authors will summarize X-ray source classification relevant to electronic device inspection and will detail X-ray source performance requirements and challenges. The paper will also elaborate on technologies employed in the X-ray source including tube design implementations for high-power-density X-ray, high resolution, and high magnification simultaneously; reduced system downtime for automated X-ray inspection; and reduced dosages utilizing quick X-ray on-and-off emission control for protection of sensitive electronic devices.

Energy Regeneration

High power density energy regeneration is one of the effective solutions to solve the contradiction between improving the damping performance and energy consumption of active suspension. The hydraulic commutator is used to realize hydraulic rectification and hydraulic variable speed/pump/motor with few teeth difference gear pairs is used to match the speed, combined with permanent magnet motor power generation and power supply to put forward kilowatt level high power density mechanical-electrical-hydraulic regenerative suspension system for high-speed tracked vehicles. The mathematical model and fluid-solid-thermo-magnetic multiphysics coupling model are built to analyze the damping performance and regenerative characteristics of the system under passive and semi-active working conditions. The simulation results show that the damping force of the system increases with the increase of the road excitation amplitude and the semi-active control can be realized by adjusting the duty cycle with the PWM control rectifier module. The high power density mechanical-electrical-hydraulic regenerative suspension system can realize kilowatt level energy regeneration, and the regenerative efficiency is more than 50% under low-frequency excitation. The temperature rise of the system is low during operation, which is helpful to improve the reliability and service life.

Gate Driver

SiC power semiconductors have the capability of greatly outperforming Si-based power devices. Faster switching and smaller on-state losses coupled with higher voltage blocking and temperature capabilities, make SiC a very attractive semiconductor for high performance, high power density power modules. However, the temperature capabilities and increased power density are fully utilized only when the gate driver is placed next to the SiC devices. This requires the gate driver to successfully operate under these extreme conditions with reduced or no heat sinking requirements, allowing the full realization of a high efficiency, high power density SiC power module. In addition, since SiC devices are usually connected in a half or full bridge configuration, the gate driver should provide electrical isolation between the high and low voltage sections of the driver itself. This paper presents a 225 degrees Celsius operable, Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) high voltage isolated gate driver IC for SiC devices. The IC was designed and fabricated in a 1 μm, partially depleted, CMOS process. The presented gate driver consists of a primary and a secondary side which are electrically isolated by the use of a transformer. The gate driver IC has been tested at a switching frequency of 200 kHz at 225 degrees Celsius while exhibiting a dv/dt noise immunity of at least 45 kV/μs.

Abstract High power density in-wheel motor could be achieved by integrating a high speed ratio (larger than 25) compound power-split mechanism (CPSM) with small motors. However, due to the exhaustive searching method adopted by the traditional lever analogy method, it is time-consuming to design high speed ratio compound power-split mechanism configurations satisfying high power density of in-wheel motor. In this paper an improved lever analogy method is proposed to find the optimal configurations with high speed ratio to satisfy the high power density in-wheel motor. In this method, a judgment algorithm about the rank of structure matrix is proposed to identify 3-node compound lever models of the CPSM. The improved lever analogy method can filter out useless configurations which significantly improve the calculation efficiency. The simulation results show that the calculation efficiency is improved by 215 times higher than that of the lever analogy method. Finally, 16 reasonable and 14 new configurations are obtained. This indicates that the improved lever analogy method can provide an effective way to design the high speed ratio CPSM which is widely used in-wheel motor driven vehicles.
