일반적인 무선 전력 전송에서는 송신부와 수신부의 무선통신을 통하여 전력전달을 제어하나, TV와 같이 배터리가 없어 수신부의 통신모듈의 동작 대기가 어려운 전자 제품에는 적용하기 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 송신부와 수신부의 공진기를 LLC 트랜스포머 기반으로 설계하여 송/수신부간의 무선통신이 없는 근접 무선전력 전송 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 시스템에서는, 공진 주파수 근처의 설계된 주파수로 동작을 시켜, 수신기의 최소한의 저전압 보호 회로만으로도 약속된 기기간에 전력을 안정적으로 전달 할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a deblocking filter hardware architecture for low-power HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) in-loop for mobile systems. HEVC performs image compression on a block-by-block basis, resulting in blockage of the image due to quantization error. The deblocking filter is used to remove the blocking phenomenon in the image. Currently, UHD video service is supported in various mobile systems, but power consumption is high. The proposed low-power deblocking filter hardware structure minimizes the power consumption by blocking the clock to the internal module when the filter is not applied. It also has four parallel filter structures for high throughput at low operating frequencies and each filter is implemented in a four-stage pipeline. The proposed deblocking filter hardware structure is designed with Verilog HDL and synthesized using TSMC 65nm CMOS standard cell library, resulting in about 52.13K gates. In addition, real-time processing of 8K@84fps video is possible at 110MHz operating frequency, and operation power is 6.7mW.

In this paper, Escape and BTA(Bus Turn Around) modes of master bridge IC are implemented, which supports MIPI(Mobile Industry Processor Interface) DSI(Display Serial Interface) standard. MIPI DSI master bridge IC sends RGB data and various commands to display module(slave) in order to test it. The Escape mode is designed to implement LPDT, ULPS and trigger message transmissions. The BTA mode is designed to obtain various status information from slave in reverse direction. Functional simulation results show that the designed Escape and BTA modes work correctly for various conditions defined in MIPI DSI standard.

In this paper, we propose a new hardware architecture for integer transform, quantizer, inverse quantizer, and inverse integer transform of a new video coding standard H.264/JVT. We describe the algorithm and derive hardware architecture emphasizing the importance of area for low cost and low power consumption. The proposed architecture has been verified by PCI-interfaced emulation board using APEX-II Alters FPGA and also by ASIC synthesis using Samsung 0.18 um CMOS cell library. The ASIC synthesis result shows that the proposed hardware can operate at 100 MHz, processing more than 1,300 QCIF video frames per second. The hardware is going to be used as a core module when implementing a complete H.264 video encoder/decoder ASIC for real-time multimedia application.

In this paper, a portable high efficiency nondispersive infrared(NDIR) $CO_2$ sensor module with a smart device interface is developed. For low power consumption design, an IR LED was used instead of tungsten lamp for light source and an optical waveguide optimized to the sensor module is designed. With the smart device interface, power of the sensor module is applied from the battery of smart phone. The measured data of the sensor module such as $CO_2$ concentration, temperature, and humidity are displayed on the smart phone using android application. From measured results, the developed sensor module shows ${\pm}60ppm$ tolerance error from 0 to 3,000ppm $CO_2$ concentration range among $-10^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ ranges.

Internet of Things(IoT) is a communication technology that collects information of object remotely and controls the function of object by adding a communication function to object that does not have a communication function. For the IoT, various communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, 3GPP, and Bluetooth are available, and Long Range(LoRa) is communication technologies specialized in the IoT concept. LoRa is a communication technology that support long-distance, low-power, and low-speed communication, and is suitable for collecting information generated form object in remote equipment and controlling equipment. Because of these characteristics, it is used in many application field, and various performance improvement studies are in progress. This paper intends to propose an ultra-long-range LoRa communication module that can be used in a wider range of applications. We design and implement hardware, firmware, and application software for testing to develop ultra-long-range LoRa communication modules. The implemented module will be tested in a real environment to verify its performance and to check its utilization.

In this paper smart shoes for dementia care using embedded boards and Low Power Wide Area technology and their application software are implemented. The communication board composed of Cortex-M3 board and LoRa module is embedded into groove made in outsole of smart shoes. Including the mold, the shoe outsole was manufactured by hand. By using application software and embedded board, caregiver can track the position of dementia patient using GPS and LoRa network. The location tracking and data transmission operations of smart shoes have been successfully verified in the outdoor environment. The smart shoes of this paper are applicable to a safety device to prevent the disappearance of demented patients through results of experiments and if bigdata is collected and analyzed by deep-learning, it may be helpful to analyze the predictive path of dementia patients or the pattern of dementia.

To find optimal parameters of RT library, an optimal module selection algorithm using Branch and Bound algorithm is also proposed. In the comparison and experimental results, The proposed FDS_LP algorithm reduce maximum power saving up to 23.9% comparing to previous FDS algorithm.

GaN 전력반도체는 와이드 밴드갭(Eg=3.4eV)과 높은 이동도 및 낮은 온-저항 특성으로 인하여 차세대 고속/저손실 고효율 전력반도체 소자로서 각광을 받고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 글로벌 GaN 전력반도체 기술개발과 상용화는 초기단계로 선진업체 캐치업과 추월이 가능한 분야이다. GaN 반도체의 재료적 장점과 현재 상용화된 200V 이하급과 650V급 GaN 전력반도체 소자의 글로벌 시장동향으로 볼 때 고속 스위칭과 전력모듈 소형화 및 시스템의 고효율화를 요구하는 제품응용에 특화해야할 것으로 판단된다. 특히 기존 Si 전력반도체 대비 고성능 GaN 제품의 저가격화뿐만 아니라 선진기업과의 경쟁력 확보를 위하여 6인치 기반 Au-free CMOS 호환 공정 개발을 통한 GaN 전력반도체 기술의 국산화와 신시장 선점을 위한 조기 상용화의 중요성을 강조하고자 한다.
