In the designs of integrated circuits, the buffer circuits used for driving a large capacitive load from minimum-structured logic circuit outputs have important effects upon system throughputs. Therefore it is important to optimize the buffer circuits. In this paper, the principle of designing CMOS buffer circuits which have the minimum delay and drive the given capacitive load is discussed. That is, the effects of load capacitance upon rise time, fall time, and delay of the CMOS inverter and the effects of parasitic capacitances are finely analysed to calculate the requested minimum-delay CMOS buffer condition. This is different from the method by C.A. Mead et. al.[2.3.4.]which deals with passive-load-nMOS buffers. Large channel width MOS transistor stages are necessary to drive a large capacitive load. The effects of polysilicon gate resistances of such large stages upon delay are also analysed.And, the area of buffer circuits designed by the proposed method is smaller than that of buffer circuits designed by C.A. Mead's method.

Piezo devices have large power density and simple structure. They can generate larger force than the conventional actuators. It has also wide bandwidth with fast response in a compact size. Thus the piezo devices are expected to be used widely in the future for small actuators with fast response time and large actuating force. However, the piezo actuators need high voltage with high driving current due to their large capacitive property. In this paper, we propose a simple method to drive piezo devices using voltage inversion circuit with coil inductance. Experiments with real circuit demonstrates that the proposed scheme can improve the energy efficiency very much.

This paper proposes a new alternating current driving method for highly capacitive loads such as plasma display panels or piezoelectric actuators, etc. In the proposed scheme, a current balance transformer, which has two windings with the same turn-ratio, provides not only a resonance inductance for energy recovery but also a current balance among all of the switching devices of the driver for current stress reduction. The smaller conduction loss than conventional circuits occurs due to the dual conduction paths which are parallel each other in the current balance transformer. Also, the leakage inductances of the transformer are utilized as resonant inductors for energy recovery by the series resonance to the capacitive load. Furthermore, the resonance contributes to the small switching losses of the switching devices by soft-switching operation. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, prototype hardware with a 12-inch mercury-free flat fluorescent lamp is implemented. The experimental results are compared with a conventional energy-recovery circuit from the perspective of luminance performances.

Piezo devices have large power density and simple structure compared with conventional electrical motors. Thus they can generate larger forces than the conventional actuators with small size. Their resopnses to commands are also very fast and thus the bandwidths are very wide. Thus the piezo devices are expected to be used widely in the future for actuating devices requiring fast response and large actuating force with small size. However, the piezo actuators need high voltage with high driving current due to their large capacitive property. In this paper, proposed is a simple method to drive piezo devices using voltage inversion circuit with coli inductance. The coil inductance carries the charges in the piezo device to the opposite side, inverting the polarity of the applied voltage, thus saving the power to drive the device with AC voltages. Experiments with real circuit demonstrates that the proposed scheme can improve the energy efficiency very much.

When induction motor is driven with a load commutated inverter, the output part of the inverter must be capacitive. But, in order to be a good load commutation at the low speed range, very large capacitor or force commutated circuit must be used regarding the capacity of motor. This paper proposed the force commutated circuit for driving the motor in case of the installation of capacitor which can be capable of load commutation at the rating speed. The force commutated circuit is operated by the LC resonant circuit, auxiliary source and SCR, and also composed of the commutation circuit which control the interval of the inverse voltage across the inverter.

Induction motor is most widely used as the driving power in the industrial site. Induction motor current is composed of two parts, magnetizing current and load current. Load current uses energy what is doing the work. Load current varies with load variance but magnetizing current is constant, regardless of load variation. Magnetizing current needs for establishing the rotating magnetic field of induction motor and lags behind the voltage. Generally capacitor is used for power-factor compensation of inductive load. Self-excitation occurs when the capacitive reactive current from the capacitor is greater than the magnetizing current of the induction motor. When this occurs, excessive voltages can result on the terminals of the motor. This excessive voltage can cause insulation degradation and ultimately result in motor insulation failure. In this paper, we analyzed that how the magnetizing current and condenser current is operating at the allowable limit by the load variation. Condenser current is below allowable limit of magnetizing current but magnetizing current is above allowable limit at the lower load operation condition.

The solenoid actuated hydrogen injector and the capacitive peak-hold type driving circuit were designed and made, and the hydrogen supply system for in-cylinder injection was constructed with these. The performance of the injector was investigated through measuring the pintle lift profiles and the injection quantities, and the performance of the hydrogen supply system was confirmed through the experiments at the single cylinder engine. The injection quantity increased linearly as the duration of driving signal increased. At the single cylinder engine, the hydrogen injector was operated stably. The hydrogen flow rate of the injector with the peak-hold type driving circuit could be controlled precisely at high engine speed or low load condition only with the variation of signal duration.

용량성 부하를 사용하는 응용사례가 늘어남에 따라 에너지 회수 회로의 중요성 또한 더욱 부각되고 있다. 특히, 고전압 구동의 경우 에너지 회수를 하지 않을 경우 손실이 크게 발생하며 충방전시 돌입 전류로 인한 노이즈 문제 또한 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 단권변압기를 사용한 새로운 형태의 에너지 회수 회로를 제안한다. 제안한 회로는 모든 스위치가 동일한 전압, 전류 스트레스를 받으며 항상 스위치를 통해 흐르는 전류가 대칭적으로 분배되기 때문에 도통 손실을 줄일 수 있으며 단권변압기를 통하여 용량성 부하가 연결되기 때문에 영전압 실패시 발생 할 수 있는 돌입 전류로 인한 전자파 발생 및 도통, 스위칭 손실을 막을 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 이에 대한 이론적 해석과 시뮬레이션과 용량성 부하를 이용한 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 연구는 스캔 구동 회로의 변화에 따른 교류형 플라즈마 표시기의 구동 특성에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 교류형 플라즈마 표시기의 용량성 부하 특성을 활용하여 스캔 라인 당 소요되는 스위치의 수를 줄일 수 있는 회로를 제안하고 그 적용 가능성을 고찰하였다. 제안된 방식의 실용화 가능성에 대한 검증을 위하여 방전 유지 전압의 변화에 따라 어드레싱 전압의 변화를 관찰하여 동적 전압 마진을 측정한 결과, 기존 방식에 비하여 9[V] 가량의 전압마진 감소가 관찰되었다. 이는 제안된 방식의 경우 선택된 전극의 스캔 기간에 이웃한 전극에 전위에 영향을 줌으로써 상호 간섭이 유발되는 효과에 의한 것으로 해석되었다. 최소 어드레싱 전압과 어드레싱 방전의 방전 지연 시간에 변화가 없는 점을 감안하면 제안된 방식의 실제 회로 적용은 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
