When a saturating control system has integral action, reset windup can cause instability as well as make the system performance unsatisfactory. An antirset-windup (ARW) limiter has been suggested to improve the stability and performance. It has been implemented with analog circuits and tested by simulations. This paper presents the stability condition of a double-integrator plant having the state feedback plus integral-action controller with the ARW limiter by using both Liapunov's second method and graphical method together.

In this paper, the simple analog MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm is proposed for the solar array of KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite). This method doesn't need any calculation of power by multiplication of voltage and current and a measurement of the solar array temperature. It is consist of only two sample and hold circuits, two comparators, a flip-flop, and an integrator. The proposed MPPT algorithm is verified by the simulation for the 100[W] solar array.

This paper introduces a resistance scanning-type flexible tactile sensor for intelligent robots and presents the output characteristics of the sensor via signal processing. The sensor was produced via the lamination method using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (a conductive material), an insulator, and Tango-plus (an elastic material). Analog and digital signal processing boards were produced to analyze the output signal of the sensor. The analog signal processing board was made up of an integrator and an amplifier for signal stability, and the digital signal processing board was made up of an IIR filter for noise removal. Finally, the sensor output for the contact force was confirmed through experiments.

In this paper, CMOS analog filters for use in the Analog front End of digital subscriber loop(DSL) chip set are proposed. Designed filters contain receiver continuous-time filters which are composed of lowpass and highpass functions. And their cutoff frequency are 138H1z and 1.1MHz respectively. A low-voltage gm-c integrator is improved and used to design filters. Desisned filters are verified by HSPICE simulation with the 0.25${\mu}m$ CMOS n-well parameter.

This review paper describes the overall operating principle of a discrete-time delta-sigma modulator (DTDSM) and a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM) using a switched-capacitor (SC). In addition, research that has solved the problems related to each delta-sigma modulator (DSM) is introduced, and the latest developments are explained. This paper describes the chopper-stabilization technique that mitigates flicker noise, which is crucial for the DSM. In the case of DTDSM, this paper addresses the problems that arise when using SC circuits and explains the importance of the operational transconductance amplifier performance of the first integrator of the DSM. In the case of CTDSM, research that has reduced power consumption, and addresses the problems of clock jitter and excess loop delay is described. The recent developments of the analog front end, which have become important due to the increasing use of wireless sensors, is also described. In addition, this paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of the three-opamp instrumentation amplifier (IA), current feedback IA (CFIA), resistive feedback IA, and capacitively coupled IA (CCIA) methods for implementing instrumentation amplifiers in AFEs.

A design of a 32-bit fourth-stage decimation filter decimation filter used in sigma-delta analog-to-digital (A/D) converter is proposed in this work. A four-stage decimation filter with down-sampling factor of 512 and 32-bit output is developed. A multi-stage cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) filter, which reduces the sampling rate by 64, is used in the first stage. Three half-band FIR filters are used after the CIC filter, each of which reduces the sampling rate by two. The pipeline structure is applied in the CIC filter to reduce the power consumption of the CIC. The Canonic Signed Digit (CSD) arithmetic is used to optimize the multiplier structure of the FIR filter. This filter is implemented based on a semi-custom design flow and a 130nm CMOS standard cell library. This decimation filter operates at 98.304 MHz and provides 32-bit output data at an audio frequency of 192 kHz with power consumption of $697{\mu}W$. In comparison to the previous work, this design shows a higher performance in resolution, operation frequency and decimation factor with lower power consumption and small logic utilization.

In this paper, a $145{\mu}W$, 87dB SNR, Low power 3rd order Sigma-Delta Modulator with Op-amp sharing is proposed. Conventional architecture with analog path and digital path is improved by adding a delayed feed -forward path for disadvantages that coefficient value of the first integrator is small. Proposed architecture has a larger coefficient value of the first integrator to remove the digital path. Power consumption of proposed architecture using op-amp sharing is lower than conventional architecture. Simulation results for the proposed SDM designed in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology with power supply voltage 1.8V, signal bandwidth 20KHz and sampling frequency 2.8224MHz shows SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) of 87dB, the power consumption of $145{\mu}W$.

A hybrid ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator for audio applications is presented in this paper. The pulse generator for digital-to-analog converter alleviates the requirement of the external clock jitter and calibrates the coefficient variation due to a process shift and temperature changes. The input resistor network in the first integrator offers a gain control function in a dB-linear fashion. Also, careful chopper stabilization implementation using return-to-zero scheme in the first continuous-time integrator minimizes both the influence of flicker noise and inflow noise due to chopping. The chip is implemented in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology (I/O devices) and occupies an active area of 0.37 $mm^2$. The ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator achieves a dynamic range (A-weighted) of 97.8 dB and a peak signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio of 90.0 dB over an audio bandwidth of 20 kHz with a 4.4 mW power consumption from 3.3 V. Also, the gain of the modulator is controlled from -9.5 dB to 8.5 dB, and the performance of the modulator is maintained up to 5 nsRMS external clock jitter.

A sigma-delta modulator based class-D audio amplifier is presented. Parallel digital input is serialized to two-bit output by a fourth-order digital sigma-delta noise shaper. The output of the digital sigma-delta noise shaper is applied to a fourth-order analog sigma-delta modulator whose three-level output drives power switches. The pulse density modulated (PDM) output of the power switches is low-pass filtered by an LC-filter. The PDM output of the power switches is fed back to the input of the analog sigma-delta modulator. The first integrator of the analog sigma-delta modulator is a hybrid of continuous-time (CT) and switched-capacitor (SC) integrator. While the sampled input is applied to SC path, the continuous-time feedback signal is applied to CT path to suppress the noise of the PDM output. The class-D audio amplifier is fabricated in a standard $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS process and operates for the signal bandwidth from 100-Hz to 20-kHz. With 4-${\Omega}$ load, the maximum output power is 18.3-mW. The total harmonic distortion plus noise and dynamic range are 0.035-% and 80-dB, respectively. The modulator consumes 457-uW from 1.2-V power supply.

The SAR(Solar Array Regulator) of KOMPSAT(Korea Multi Purpose SATellite)-1, 2 regulates a photovoltaic power according to the duty ratio commands of the ECU. But the ECU has so many other jobs that it can not calculate the solar array condition immediately. It means the SAR cannot always generate the maximum power of a photovoltaic. Nowadays, the commercial photovoltaic systems are using a controller operated by digital processing. But the usage for satellite is not adaptable. It is not easy to find the processor of the space grade and the price is expensive. So in this paper, the simple analog MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm is proposed for the small satellite in LEO. This algorithm does not need any calculation of power by multiplication of voltage and current md a measurement of the solar array temperature. It is consist of only two sample and hold circuits, two comparators, a flip-flop, and an integrator. The proposed MPPT algorithm is verified by the simulation and experimental.
