The gate current sensing structure was proposed to more effectively control the regulation of the output voltage when the LDO regulator occurs in an overshoot or undershoot situation. In a typical existing LDO regulator, the regulation voltage changes when the load current changes. However, the operation speed of the pass transistor can be further improved by supplying/discharging the gate terminal current in the pass transistor using a gate current sensing structure. The input voltage of the LDO regulator using the gate current sensing structure is 3.3 V to 4.5 V, the output voltage is 3 V, and the load current has a maximum value of 250 mA. As a result of the simulation, a voltage change value of about 12 mV was confirmed when the load current changed up to 250 mA.

Conventional LDO regulator external capacitors can reduce transient response characteristics such as overshoot and undershoot. However, the capacitorless LDO regulator proposed in this study applied body technology to the pass transistor to improve the transient response and provide excellent current drive capability. The operating conditions of the proposed LDO regulator are set to an input voltage that varies from 3.3V to 4.5V, a maximum load current of 200mA, and an output voltage of 3V. As a result of the measurement, it was found that when the load current was 100 mA, the voltage was 95 mV in the undershoot state and 105 mV in the overshoot state.

In the case of a conventional single stage decompression regulator used for large depressurization in the hydrogen fuel cell system of a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), problems can arise, such as pulsation, slow response, hydrogen brittleness, leakage, high weight, and high cost due to high decompression. Most of these problems can be overcome easily using two decompression mechanisms (two-stage structures). In addition, a wide outlet-pressure control range can be secured if an electronic solenoid is applied to the second decompression. Accordingly, it is necessary to improve the precision of the outlet pressure of a two-stage pressure-reducing regulator and develop techniques, such as leakage prevention, durability, light weight, and price reduction. Therefore, to improve the outlet pressure accuracy and prevent leakage, the structural part before and after decompression to improve the air tightness were divided and the analysis was carried out assuming that the valve part was closed (open ratio: 0%) after each initial internal pressure application.

The development of an accurate and energy saving pneumatic regulator that may be applied to a variety of practical pressure control applications is described in this paper. A novel modified pulse width modulation(MPWM) valve pulsing algorithm allows the pneumatic regulator to become energy saying system. A comparison between the system response of conventional PWM algorithm and that of the modified PWM(MPWM) algorithm shows that control performance is almost the same, but energy saving is greatly improved by adopting this new MPWM algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm are demonstrated through experiments with various reference trajectories.

The regulator system has been modeled and combined to a swashplate type axial piston pump. Linear approximation has been performed for nonlinear coefficient terms of an axial piston pump-regulator model without significantly affecting accuracy. Based on the mathematical model of an axial piston pump-regulator system, a couple of characteristic curves of negative flow control and horsepower control are drawn, which show a good correlation with those of experimental results. So the simplified axial piston pump-regulator model in this paper is expected to be utilized not only for the design and analysis of hydraulic circuit of excavator but also for prevention of engine overload.

In this study, flow characteristics at the regulators, which is very important for clean gas supply systems for semiconductors and LCD industries, are investigated. Numerical simulations are carried out to visualize flows at regulators for several flow rates and to investigate pressure losses at some parts in the regulator. Velocity field at the regulator along with the detailed velocity field near the spring and near the valve is shown. New regulator models are proposed in this paper, and numerical simulations are also carried out to visualize flows at regulator for several flow rates, and to investigate pressure losses at the parts in new models. Pressure drops a lot across the valve seat. Pressure drop increases as mass flow rate increases. Especially for small opening, pressure drop increases rapidly as mass flow rate becomes large.

This paper presents small hydrogen regulator for the mobile fuel cell. Mobile fuel cell is generally classified into open-end type and dead-end type. In the open-end type, flow rate of hydrogen is constantly controlled, while pressure of hydrogen is constantly maintained in the dead-end type. Considering the efficiency and stability of the fuel usage, dead-end type is more suitable with mobile fuel cell. Mobile fuel cell operated by dead-end mode requires hydrogen regulator which controls the hydrogen pressure from 0.1bar to 0.5bar within 3% error. In this paper, small hydrogen regulator (volume of 2.6cc) was fabricated by stainless steel. Regulation characteristics was experimentally evaluated.

This paper presents a derating design approach for reliability improvement of a regulator IC. The IC is usually used in SMPS. The main failure mechanism of interest is voltage drop due to the package delamination mainly caused by two stresses, i.e. temperature and current. The lifetime under stresses is modeled as a function of stresses and time using accelerating life testings. Quantitative and qualitative variation in lifetime according to stress variations are investigated using the modeled lifetime. Stress levels would be determined to achieve required reliability levels in the aspect of derating design for reliability.
