In order to reduce the overall size and cost, researchers attempted to integrate the functions of power factor correction(PFC) and isolated dc-dc conversion into single power stage. However, single-stage isolated PFC converters have higher voltage stress and heavier loss when compared with a normal dc-dc converters. In this paper, we propose to add active clamping circuit to keep the switch voltage stress low and to achieve soft switching of electronic devices.

본 논문에서는 전이중(full duplex)으로 동작하는 멀티미디어 PC의 음성 명령어 인식기의 성능 향상을 위한 적응 음향 반향 제거기를 구현하였다. 최근 들어 일고 있는 인간과 컴퓨터의 인터페이스를 쉽고 친밀하게 하려는 노력은 음성으로 제어하는 컴퓨터의 탄생을 예고하고 있다. 이러한 시스템을 전이중 모드에서 사용할 경우 음향 반향은 피할 수 없는 현상이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 음향 반향을 제거하기 위해서 서브밴드 적응 필터 구조를 이용하여 실시간 처리가 가능한 음향 반향 제거기를 설계하였다. 또한, 동시통화시 음성의 왜곡을 줄이는 스위칭 구조를 사용하였다. 동시통화의 검출은 상호상관도를 이용하여 구현하였다. 이렇게 구현된 반향제거기를 음향 입출력 루틴과 음성 인식기와 결합하여 Windows 95상에서 실시간으로 동작하는 음성 명령어 인식 소프트웨어를 완성하였다. 모의 실험 및 실시간 실험을 통하여 반향 제거기의 성능을 검증하였고, 음성인식 실험을 수행하여 반향 제거기가 인식율 향상에 기여함을 확인하였다.

The three-level voltage source inverter (VSI) is good topology for high voltage and high power applications where no semiconductor devices are available. However, it has an inherent problem of switching loss and midpoint charge balance. Therefore, this paper presents two ways. The one is to adopt ZCT soft-switching method to the conventional three-level VSI. The another is to be proposed the method of the midpoint charge balance in three-level VSI. To prove the proposed topology, the paper presents a comprehensive evaluation with theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results.

This study deals with a bidirectional interleaved soft switching DC-DC converter for a wide range of input voltages. The proposed converter operates in complementary switching with the purpose of inductor size reduction and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation. The current ripple related to complementary switching is minimized by three-phase interleaved operation. The main characteristics of the proposed topology are its soft-switching method of operation and its simple structure. The soft-switching operation and the system efficiency of the proposed converter are verified by experimental results.

In this paper a soft switching ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) power factor converter using active snubbers is designed to improve efficiency and reduce voltage spike and parasitic ringing. The main switch achieves ZVT and the auxiliary switch operates with ZCS. A 2KW soft switching ZVT converter is designed with switching frequency 100kHz, output voltage 400VDC. Then the designed system is realized and experimental results show that the measured efficiency and power factor are over 97.45% and 0.997 respectively with an input current THD less than 3%.
