This paper investigates the ESD robustness of the stacked output driver with a 0.13um CMOS process. To represent an actual I/O system, we implemented stacked output driver circuits with pre-drivers and a rail-based power clamp. We implemented eight kinds of circuits varying pre-driver input connections and stacked driver size. The test circuits are examined with TLP measurements. It is shown that breakdown current and voltage can be increased by connecting the pre-driver input to a power supply and using stacked devices of a similar size. Based on the test results, design guideline is suggested to improve ESD robustness of the stacked output drivers.

This paper presents an LED backlight driver IC consisting of three linear current regulators and an output-voltage regulation loop with a self-adjustable reference voltage. In the proposed LED driver, the output voltage is controlled by dual feedback loops. The first loop senses and controls the output voltage, and the second loop senses the voltage drop of the linear current regulator and adjusts the reference voltage. With these feedback loops, the voltage drop of the linear current regulator is maintained at a minimum value, at which the driver efficiency is maximized. The output of the driver is a three-channel LED setup with four LEDs in each channel. The luminance is adjusted by the PWM dimming signal. The proposed driver is designed by a $0.35-{\mu}m$ 60-V high-voltage process, resulting in an experimental maximum efficiency of approximately 85%.

In this paper, we propose a LiDAR driver that virtualizes multiple inexpensive LiDARs (Light Detection and Ranging) with a smaller number of scan channels on an autonomous vehicle to replace a single expensive LiDAR with a larger number of scan channels. As a result, existing SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) algorithms can be used with no modifications developed assuming a single LiDAR. In the paper, the proposed driver was implemented on the Robot Operating System and was evaluated with an existing SLAM algorithm. The results show that the proposed driver, combined with a filter to control the density of points in a 3D map, is compatible with the existing algorithm.

This paper describes the design of gate driver circuits in distributed maximum power point tracking(DMPPT) controller for photovoltaic system. For the effective DMPPT control in the existence of shadowed modules, high voltage gate driver is applied to drive the DC-DC converter in each module. Some analog blocks such as 12-b ADC, PLL, and gate driver are integrated in the SoC for DMPPT. To reduce the power consumption and to avoid the high voltage damage, a short pulse generator is added in the high side level shifter. The circuit was implemented with BCDMOS 0.35um technology and can support the maximum current of 2A and the maximum voltage of 50V.

The ODBC(Open Database Connectivity) is particularly efficient in the dynamic client/server environment. Besides, the ODBC provides the functions that can handle multimedia data. Due to this feature, we are able to use the DBMS that supports the ODBC as a multimedia server. In this thesis, we describe the development of the ODBC driver for Relational DBMS. The Relational DBMS ODBC Driver consists of the client module and the server module. The client module is called the SRM(Server Request Module) and the server module is CSM(Client Service Module). These two modules are connected through the network module called the NSM(Network Service Module). We have conducted both the functional and the interoperability test of our ODBC Driver It turned out that the ODBC driver operated with these client DBMS tools successfully. In all, due to our development of the Relational DBMS ODBC Driver, DBMS is now capable of processing multimedia data and supporting the client applications including the DBMS tools.

This paper introduces a 2-dimensional touch screen panel driver based on an improved capacitive sensing circuit. The improved capacitive sensing circuit based on charge pump can eliminate the remaining charges of the intermediate nodes, which may cause output voltage drift. The touch screen panel driver with mixed-mode circuits was built and simulated using Cadence Spectre. Verilog-A models the digital circuits effectively and enables them to interface with analog circuits easily. From the simulation results, we can verify the reliable operations of the simple structured touch screen panel driver based on the improved capacitive sensing circuit offering no voltage drift.

This paper introduces a touch screen panel driver using modified charge pump circuit. The touch screen panel driver is composed of an analog circuit part which senses a touch and a digital circuit which analyse the sensed signal. To verify the functions the touch screen panel driver, a mixed-mode circuit was built and simulated using Cadence Spectre. The digital circuits were modeled with Verilog-A in order to interface with the analog circuits and verify the functionalities of the driver with less simulation time. From the simulation results, we can verify the reliable operations of the simple structured touch screen panel driver which does not include an ADC.
