This work studies the solution of two axis solar tracking system based on solar maps, which can predict the exact apparent position of the Sun, by the latitude＇s location, thereby avoiding the need to use sensors or guidance systems. To accomplish this, it is used a low-power microcontroller, suitably programmed, to control two electric motors to ensure that the panels supporting structure is always oriented towards the sun.展开更多

The system is constructed in tree-type structure and it includes a high-speed 1 ： 2 DEMUX, two low-speed 1 ： 2 DEMUXs, a divider, and input and output buffers for data and dock. To improve the circuit performance and reduce the power consumption, a latch structure with a common-gate topology and a single clock phase is employed in the high-speed 1 ： 2 DEMUX and the 5 GHz 1 ： 2 on-chip frequency divider, while dynamic CMOS logic is adopted in the low-speed l ： 2 DEMUXs. Measured results at 10 Gbit/s by 23^31 -1 pseudo random bit sequences （PRBS） via on-wafer testing indicate that it can work well with a power dissipation of less than 100 mW at 1.8 V supply voltage. The die area of the DEMUX is 0. 65 mm × 0. 75 mm.展开更多
