The paper proposes a novel ZVZCS PWM converter. It enables the main switch to be turned on/off with both zero voltage and zero current, the auxiliary switch to be turned on/off with ZCS, the rectifier diode to be turned on/off with ZVS. Moreover, this proposed soft switching technique is suitable for not only minority carrier device but also majority carrier semiconductor device. Since auxiliary resonant circuit of the proposed boost converter is placed out of the main power path, therefore, there are no voltage and current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operation of the proposed boost converter is explained and analyzed theoretical and experimentally, from a prototype operating at 100KHz.

In this paper, the external matching circuits were designed in order to compensate the efficiency which decreases by human body effect in the internal antenna phone. Comparing the two types of matching circuit, we selected the structure to minimize the switch stress. RF MEMS switch using low voltage was compared with FET switch and measured the performance in the handset. Here, the detection circuit which can couple th reflection power from antenna was added in the handset and we set up the demonstration system that can compensate the loss of hand effect automatically. In this system, when hand effect occurred, the radiation power increased 2.5dB by operation the matching circuit.

A low-power $1{\times}2$ polymeric thermo-optic switch with a trench structure is proposed and fabricated. The trench structure in the optimized region slows down the heat flow from the electrodes, which contributes to the reduction of power consumption. The temperature distribution in the polymer layers has been adjusted to increase the temperature gradient between the two arms of the Y-branch. For comparison, a $1{\times}2$ polymeric thermo-optic switch with no trench structure is fabricated together on the same substrate. In the device with a trench structure, the measured crosstalk is less than -17.0 dB for TE polarization.-15.0 dB for TM polarization. The power consumption is about 66 mW, which is 25% less than that of the device with no trench structure.

The problem of an input-buffered switch is the HOL(head-of-line) blocking which limits the maximum throughput but it is easy to implement in hardware. However, HOL blocking can be eliminated using aVOQ(virtual-output-queueing) technique. 0 this paper, we propose a new cell-scheduling algorithm for aninput-buffered ATM switch. The proposed algorithm, called PPIM(Probabilistic Parallel Iterative Matching), imposesa weight to every request based on the reserved bandwidth. It is shown that the input-buffered ATM switch withthe proposed PPIM algorithm not only provides high throughput and low delay but it also reduces the jitter,compared with the existing WPIM(Weighted PIM).

최근 다양한 산업응용분야에서 가변커패시터의 필요성은 점점 증가하고 있다. 특히 고전력 RF플라즈마 시스템에서 임피던스 정합 회로에 사용되는 가변커패시터는 빠른 고전압 차단능력이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 RF플라즈마 시스템의 임피던스 정합 회로에 활용되는 단방향 스위치를 사용한 전기적 가변 캐패시터 (Electrical Variable Capacitor, 이하 EVC) 회로의 전압 스트레스를 저감하는 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 13.56Mhz의 주파수와 1kW이상의 고전력 RF플라즈마 시스템에서 단방향 스위치의 전압 스트레스를 양방향스위치를 사용한 EVC 회로를 활용하여 저감한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법으로 전압 스트레스가 감소하여 EVC 회로를 고전력 초고속 RF플라즈마 시스템의 임피던스 정합 회로에 좀 더 효과적 으로 적용할 수 있게 된다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 EVC 회로의 스위치에 걸리는 전압 스트레스가 40%이상 저감되는 것을 검증하였다.

MEMS(micro electro-mechanical systems) inertial switch which is applicable to the ignition Safe-Arm- Unit of propulsion system is devised. The MEMS inertial switch is designed according to the general design procedure for conventional mechanical elements. Unlikely conventional MEMS accelerometer, threshold inertial switching mechanism is adopted which makes a MEMS element an abrupt switching in a certain acceleration level. By comparing the design data and test results of the specimen a small discrepancy in switching acceleration level is found which is presumably due to the nonlinear characteristics of the beam spring and the flexure hinge which are the main parts of the MEMS inertial switch.

In this paper, we introduce tree types of switching networks, I, e., a fully segregated type, a partially integrated type, and a fully integrated type switch, to accommodate nx 64Kb/s multi-slot connection traffic and analyze their blocking probabilites for the different traffic mixes by utilizing a computational algorithm of blocking probability, and finally determine the traffic handling capacity which satisfies the given grade of service. The fully integrated type switch can accommodate the ISDN traffic with relatively low wideband traffic. However, either the partially integrated type or the fully segregated type switch is needed to accommodate the ISDN traffic as the wideband traffic increases. This result can be usilized in the design of ISDN switching networks accommodating multi-slot connection traffic.

The current fast-growing Internet traffic is demanding more and more network capacity. Photonic packet switching offers high-speed, data rate/format transparency, and configurability, which are some of the important characteristics needed in future networks supporting different forms of data. In this paper, we define that optical backbone networks for IP transport consist of optical packet core switches and optical fibers. We propose a multi-link photonic packet switch managing as single media which unifies the whole bandwidth of multiple wavelengths on the optical fiber in the WDM optical networks. The proposed switch uses optical packet memories of output link equally as well as using the WDM buffer. So it cuts down the required number of buffers and realizes of the optical packet memory economically.

NoC is adopted for data communication between processors and IPs in MPSoC system. NoC has an advantage of scalability in that system can be easily expanded just by adding switches. However, as the number of switches increases, chip area increases as well as data transfer latency. This paper proposes an architecture that can reduce the number of switches in the system by sharing network interfaces. To reduce NI area, the modules sharing network interface use a common buffer in network interface. Experimental results show that the chip area has been reduced by 46.5% and data transfer latency by 17.1%, respectively, compared to conventional architecture.

As window sized increases, the throughput input-buffered packet switch with a window scheme improves on random traffic condition. However, the improvement diminishes quickly under bursty traffic. In this paper, we propose Burst Head Addressable FIFO mechanism and memory structure having search capability in unit of burst header to compensate the sensitiveness of the windowed scheme to bursty traffic. The performance of a input-buffered switch using the proposed Burst Header Addressable FIFO input buffer was analyzed using computer simulations. The maximum throughput of the conventional FIFO scheme approaches an asymptotic value 0.5 as mean burst length increases. The maximum throughput of the proposed scheme is greater than that of the conventional scheme for any mean burst length and window size.
