These Simulink blocks contain transfer functions that model the pressure and flow transients for axisymmetric 2D viscous flow of a compressible fluid in a straight rigid circular cross section pipelines. Three models are available:
(1) pressures at the ends
(2) flow rates at the ends
(3) pressure at one end and flow rate at the other
Filtering is incorporated to reduce numerical oscillation (Gibbs phenomenon). See J. Dyn. Systems, Meas. & Control vol 122 (2000) pp. 153-162.
Battery powered applications that have a signifi cantamount of time in standby mode, require electrical circuitsto operate with a low quiescent current to preserve batterylife. The LTC3835 synchronous step-down controlleris an excellent solution with its ultralow quiescent current(80μA). Other features make it uniquely qualifi ed tosatisfy the needs of automotive applications. A wide 4Vto 36V input voltage range protects the supply againsthigh input voltage transients and is compatible with lowvoltage cold crank conditions.

Automotive power systems are unforgiving electronicenvironments. transients to 90V can occur when thenominal voltage range is 10V to 15V (ISO7637), along withbattery reversal in some cases. It’s fairly straightforwardto build automotive electronics around this system, butincreasingly end users want to operate portable electronics,such as GPS systems or music/video players,and to charge their Li-Ion batteries from the automotivebattery. To do so requires a compact, robust, effi cientand easy-to-design charging system
Today’s computer, datacom, and telecom systems demandpower supplies that are effi cient, respond quicklyto load transients and accurately regulate the voltageat the load. For example, load current can be measuredby using the inductor DCR, thus eliminating the needfor a dedicated sense resistor. Inductor DCR sensingincreases effi ciency—especially at heavy load—whilereducing component cost and required board space.The LTC®3856 single-output 2-phase synchronous buckcontroller improves the accuracy of inductor DCR sensingby compensating for changes in DCR due to temperature.
The goal of this book is to introduce the simulation methods necessary to describe
the behaviour of semiconductor devices during an electrostatic discharge (ESD).
The challenge of this task is the correct description of semiconductor devices under
very high current density and high temperature transients. As it stands, the book
can be no more than a snapshot and a summary of the research in this field
during the past few years. The authors hope that the book will provide the basis
for further development of simulation methods at this current frontier of device
physics.
The challenges associated with the design and implementation of Electro-
static Discharge (ESD) protection circuits become increasingly complex as
technology is scaled well into nano-metric regime. One must understand the
behavior of semiconductor devices under very high current densities, high
temperature transients in order to surmount the nano-meter ESD challenge.
As a consequence, the quest for suitable ESD solution in a given technology
must start from the device level. Traditional approaches of ESD design may
not be adequate as the ESD damages occur at successively lower voltages in
nano-metric dimensions.
For more than a century, overhead lines have been the most commonly used
technology for transmitting electrical energy at all voltage levels, especially on the
highest levels. However, in recent years, an increase in both the number and length
of HVAC cables in the transmission networks of different countries like Denmark,
Japan or United Kingdom has been observed. At the same time, the construction of
offshore wind farms, which are typically connected to the shore through HVAC
cables, increased exponentially.
