In this study, discrete-time domain analysis is proposed to investigate the input current of a buck AC/DC light-emitting diode (LED) driver. The buck power factor correction converter can operate in both discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and continuous conduction mode (CCM). Two discontinuous and two continuous conduction operating modes are possible depending on which event terminates the conduction of the main switch in a switching cycle. All four operating modes are considered in the discrete-time domain analysis. The peak current-mode control with slope compensation is used to design a low-cost AC/DC LED driver. A slope compensation design of the buck AC/DC LED driver is described on the basis of a discrete-time domain analysis. Experimental results are presented to confirm the usefulness of the proposed analysis.

In this paper, a driver system is designed and implemented to achieve 4-level gray scale CH TFEL(Thin Film ElectroLuminescent) flat panel display. To implement the driver system, commercial EL driver IC chips are used to apply high voltage pulses to the EL panel and a high voltage switching circuit is designed for the EL driver IC. A new method of reducing storage delay time of transistor is proposed to obtain a reliable switching circuit. The controller for EL driver and switching circuit is also designed. The designed driving scheme applicable to EL display with 4-level gray scale is based on the linear characteristics of brightness vs. frequency of AC TFEL. By experiment, it has been shown that the brightness of AC TEFL display with the implemented driving system is controlled by the level of gray scale.

In order to reduce the cost, improve the efficiency and simplify the complicated control of existing isolated LED drivers, an improved boundary conduction mode (BCM) Buck ac-dc light emitting diode (LED) driver with extended output voltage and low total harmonic distortion is proposed. With a coupled inductor winding and a stacked output, its output voltage can be elevated to a much higher value when compared to that of the conventional Buck ac-dc converter, without sacrificing the input harmonics and power factor. Therefore, the proposed Buck LED driver can meet the IEC61000-3-2 (Class C) limitation and has a low THD. The operating principle of the topology and the design methodology of the ac-dc LED driver are presented. A 150 W ac-dc prototype was built in the laboratory and it shows that the input current harmonics meet the lighting standard. In addition, the THD is less than 16% at a typical ac input. The peak efficiency is higher than 96.5% at a full load and a normal input.

This paper presents an active auxiliary edge-resonant DC link snubber with a ringing surge damper and a three-phase voltage source type zero voltage soft-switching inverter with the resonat snubber treated here for the AC servo motor driver applications. The operation of the active auxiliary edge-resonant DC link snubber circuit with PWM voltage is described, together with the practical design method to select its circuit parameters. The three-phase voltage source type soft-switching inverter with a single edge-resonant DC link snubber treated here is evaluated and discussed for the small-scale permanent magnet (PM) type-AC servo motor driver from an experimental point of view. In addition to these, the AC motor stator current and its motor speed response for the proposed three-phase soft-switching inverter employing Intelligent Power Module(IPM) based on IGBTS are compared with those of the conventional three-phase hard-switching inverter using IPM. The practical effectiveness of the three-phase soft-switching inverter-fed permanent magnet type AC motor speed tracking servo driver is proven on the basis of the common mode current in a novel type three-phase soft-switching inverter-fed AC motor side and the conductive noise on the mains terminal interface voltage as compared with those of the conventional three-phase hard-switching inverter-fed permanent magnet type AC servo motor driver for the speed tracking applications.

We designed and tested a new scan driver output stage. Compared to conventional CMOS structured scan driver IC′s, the new NMOSFET-only scan driver circuit can reduce the chip area and therefore, the chip cost considerably. We confirmed the circuit operation with open drain power NMOSFET IC′s by driving 2"PDP test panel. We defined critical device parameters and their optimization methods lot the best circuit performance.

A new multi-level type energy recovery sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel) is proposed in this paper. The multi-level driver has been developed to reduce the voltage stress on switching elements. Comparing the proposed driver with the conventional multi-level driver, 4 switching elements, 4 diodes, and two auxiliary capacitors are eliminated in the viewpoint of circuit structure. Moreover, the voltage stress on switching elements is more reduced and the sustain period is extended. To verify the validity of the proposed energy recovery circuit, computer simulations using PSpice program are carried out.

Selection of the optimal inductance for power factor improvement of a buck AC/DC light-emitting diode (LED) driver with wide input voltage range is described in this study. The power factor change based on the slope compensation is obtained for various normalized output current (NOC) values using discrete-time domain analysis. The possibility of implementing constant slope compensation is described using power factor curves for various NOC values. NOC = 0.5 is chosen for the value of inductance with consideration for the simple implementation and reduction of inductor size. Experimental results of the inductance corresponding to NOC = 0.5 are presented.

본 연구에서는 저내압 반도체 공정으로 제작 가능한 교류 구동 LED 드라이버 IC를 설계하여, 그 성능들에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 교류 220V에서 직접 구동하기 위한 드라이버 IC를 제작하기 위하여 500V 이상의 항복전압을 만족하는 반도체 제조공정이 필요하다. 고내압 반도체 제조공정은 일반적인 저내압 반도체 공정보다 매우 높은 제조비용을 요구한다. 따라서 낮은 내압의 소자를 구현하는 반도체 공정기술로도 제작할 수 있도록 LED 드라이버 IC를 직렬로 설계하였다. 이는 입력전압이 고전압이라도 각 LED 블록마다 전압이 나누어 인가되는 것을 가능하게 한다. LED 조명회로는 220V에서 96%의 역률을 나타내고 있다. pnp 트랜지스터를 이용한 역률 개선 회로에서는 99.7%의 아주 높은 역률을 얻을 수 있으며, 입력전압의 변동과 관계없이 매우 안정된 동작을 보여주었다.
