In this paper, we report a non-explosive separation device for a small satellite which utilize a shape memory alloy actuator and spring clamp. In order to increase the preload, the proposed device employs spring clamp that can generate high toque when the shape memory alloy actuator makes the cylinder key unlatch a holding ball effectively. Owing to simple design of separation device configuration, we could obtain good repeatability(up to 30 times activation). Conclusively, we could develop a non-explosive separation device which can reliably activate within 1.2 sec under high preload(up to 300kgf).

In this paper, a non-isolated high step-up and high efficiency boost converter is proposed. By using the 3-level boost converter structure, the proposed converter can obtain higher voltage gain than conventional high step-up converters. The voltage spike of the switching device is well clamped by using the clamp circuit composed of a clamp diode and a capacitor and the energy of the leakage inductor of coupled inductor is effectively transferred to output. Due to the 3-level structure, the equivalent switching frequency of the coupled inductor is doubled, which results in reduced inductor size. A 500 W prototype converter is built and tested to verify performance of the proposed converter.

The MRC minimizes a parasitic oscillation using the resonant tank circuit absorbed parasitic reactances existing in a converter circuit. So the converter is capable of operating at a high switching and also reducing the losses. But the resonant voltage stress across a resonant switch is 4-5 times a input voltage. This high voltage stress increases the conduction loss in MOSFET. In this paper, the CM forward MRC with synchronous rectifier and AT forward MRC are compared about efficiency and semiconductor stress. For analysis, we have built a 50W CM forward MRC and a 50W AT forward MRC. in which the input voltage is 48V, output voltage is 5V, each other. The measured voltage stress is about 170V of 2.9 times the input voltage in the AT Forward MRC, about 106V of 1.8 times the input voltage in CM forward MRC, and the efficiency is 81.05% in AT Forward MRC, 83.61% in CM forward MRC.

소비자의 요구와 기술력의 발달로 PDP시장은 42인치와 60인치등 대형PDP가 주류를 이루고 있으며 대형화에 따라서 PDP전원의 소모전력 또한 $400W{\sim}600W$ 까지 증가 하고 있다. 기존 소용량 PDP전원으로 사용되던 Flyback의 경우 소모 전력이 증가함에 따라 대형PDP에 적용하기에는 소자 내압 및 시스템 효율 측면에서 다소 무리가 있다. 따라서 대형PDP의 전원을 위해서 새로운 2 Switch 3 Diode를 채용한 고효율 DCR (Diode Clamping Rectifier) Flyback Converter를 제안하였으며 이를 42인치 PDP에 적용하여 회로의 타당성 및 우수성을 검증하였다.

The shock separation test simulates the environmental effects of the spacecraft separation from launch vehicle. The shock separation test for a structural model of KOMPSAT-Ⅱ(Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite Ⅱ) was performed in SITC(Satellite Integration ＆ Test Center) launch environmental test hall at KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) to verify the shock test requirement of the spacecraft, to predict the induced acceleration responses on the primary structures and payloads by the explosion of pyre-lock and to perform mechanical fit check. The spacecraft with S/A was mated vertically to LV(Launch Vehicle) adapter simulator via a clamp band, then hoisted and suspended above a foam test bed by four isolation springs secured to the spacecraft hoist fittings to isolate the payload platform shock wave from the sling elements. For separation process, real pyre-devices were used and the time response signals from 60 accelerometers installed on the interested points was acquired and recorded. The SRS responses for each response channels were calculated and the achieved SRS's on the separation plane was reviewed and evaluated in comparison to the ICD(Interface Control Document) value.

Injection molding industries realize the necessity of developing family molds to improve competitiveness. One of the primary causes of manufacturing defective products is the imbalance of flow in a family mold. In this study, the family mold of a shelf for refrigerators is analyzed by using CAE software. First, the flow balance, clamping force, and injection pressure are analyzed for different gate diameters of two cavities. Second, the flow balance, clamping force, and injection pressure are improved when the two gate valves are open at different times. Finally, the results of filling analysis are compared with the test injection product.

The bi-directional converter interfaces the low voltage battery to the inverter do link of FC generation system. When power flows from the low voltage side(battery: 48[V]) to the high voltage side(dc link: 380[V]), the circuit works in discharge mode (boost) to power the high voltage side load; otherwise, it works in charge mode (buck) to charge the low voltage side battery. In this paper, the 1.5[kW] active clamp current-fed full bridge converter employing MOSFETs is operated to discharge the battery whereas a voltage-fed half bridge converter employing IGBTs is operated to charge the battery.

In this paper, voltage clamped tapped-inductor boost converter with high voltage conversion ratio is proposed. The conventional tapped-inductor boost converter has a serious drawback such as high voltage stresses across all power semiconductors due to the high resonant voltage caused by the leakage inductor of tapped inductor. Therefore, the dissipative snubber is essential for absorbing this resonant voltage, which could degrade the overall power conversion efficiency. To overcome these drawbacks, the proposed converter employs a voltage clamping capacitor instead of the dissipative snubber. Therefore, the voltage stresses of all power semiconductors are not only clamped as the output voltage but the power conversion efficiency can also be considerably improved. Moreover, since the energy stored in the clamp capacitor is transferred to the output side together with the input energy, the proposed converter can achieve the higher voltage conversion ratio than the conventional tapped-inductor boost converter. Therefore, the proposed converter is expected to be well suited to various applications demanding the high efficiency and high voltage conversion ratio. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, the theoretical analysis and experimental results of the proposed converter are presented.

기존의 위상천이 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 경우 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스와 정류 스위치의 기생 출력 캐패시턴스 사이의 공진으로 인하여 정류 스위치에 스파이크 전압이 발생하며, 이는 시스템의 전력 변환 효율을 감소시킨다. 최근에 보조 DC/DC 컨버터를 사용하여 클램핑 캐패시터에서 흡수된 에너지를 부하로 회기시키는 방법이 연구되고 있으나, 보조 DC/DC 컨버터를 설계하기 위한 정확한 분석은 제시되지 않았다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압을 저감할 수 있는 비동기식 능동형 스너버 회로의 설계방법을 제안한다. 또한, 초기 기동 시에 발생되는 큰 공진에너지를 히스테리시스 회로를 이용하여 저항을 통해 소모시킴으로써 보조 DC/DC 컨버터의 자성소자를 최소화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 이론적으로 분석하며, 450W급 시작품을 제작하여 제안방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

As the fact that the simple data of text and sound in early year have been changed to be high quality images and sounds. PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) system plays an important role in communication system. VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is the most important part in PLL system because it can have critical effects on operation of PLL. Recently, it has been raised the necessity of high speed and high accuracy circuit application. In this paper, a new differential voltage clamped VCO using negative-skewed path is suggested. Using a dual-delay scheme to implement the VCO, higher operation frequency and wider tuning are achieved simultaneously. The dual-delay scheme means that both the negative skewed delay paths and the normal delay paths exist in the same ring oscillator. The negative skewed delay paths decrease the unit delay time of the ring oscillator below the single inverter delay time. As a result, higher operation frequency can be obtained. The whole characteristics of VCO are simulated by using HSPICE. Simulation results show that the resulting operating frequencies are 50% higher than those obtainable from the conventional approaches.
