In this paper, the constant current controller is designed to regulate the driving current of a power LED. The controller design model of the power LED including its driving circuit is proposed to design the constant current controller. A buck converter is also introduced to drive the power LED. The PI-based digital controller is implemented to validate the proposed strategy for the power LED driving.

The proposed battery charger presented in this paper is suitable for Lead-Acid Battery and the dc/dc buck converter topology is applied as a charger circuit. The technique adopted in this charger is constant current & constant voltage dual mode, which is decided by the value of voltage of proposed battery. Automatic mode change function is detected by the percentage value of level of battery charging. CC Mode (Constant Current Mode) is operated when charging level is below 80% of the total charging of Battery voltage and above 80% of battery voltage charging, CV Mode (Constant Voltage Mode) is automatically operated. As the charging level exceeds 120%, it automatically terminates charging. The feedback signal to the PWM generator for charging the battery is controlled by using the current and voltage measurement circuits simultaneously. This technique will degrade the damage of proposed type of battery and improve the power efficiency of charger. Finally, a prototype charger circuit designed for a 12-V 7-Ah lead acid battery is constructed and tested to confirm the theoretical predictions. Satisfactory performance is obtained from simulation and the experimental results.

Current delivery system, in which the analog current produced by a unique DAC circuit is stored into a current-memory circuit and delivered in a time-divided sequence, shows variation of output current as low as 4% in a current source data-driver IC for AM-OLED driven by a current-programmed method without any fuse repairing after fabrication. This driver IC has 54 outputs and can sink constant current as low as 3 ${\mu}A$ with 6-bit analog levels. Such a low current level without variation can hardly be obtained by an ordinary MOS transistor because the current level is in the sub-threshold region and changes exponentially with threshold voltage variation. Thus we adopted a current mirror circuit composed of bipolar transistors to supply well-controlled current within a nano-ampere range.

In order to newly define and specify the performance and the testing method of the high-voltage circuit breaker, IEC 62271-100 was published in May, 2001 and took place of IEC 60056 which had been used since 1987. This new standard intensifies the requirement and the test method of the circuit breaker and also domestic manufacturer makes progress the new product development. And, KERI also goes on the build-up project of short-circuit testing facilities for fulfilling the testing method requirements in new IEC 62271-100. This paper introduce the limiting method of short-circuit making current by controlling the time constant of dc component.

전자회로에서 부하가 제너다이오드일 경우, 입력전압에 의해 부하의 전류를 제어하고자 할 때 제너다이오드의 항복전압 특성에 따라 제어하고자 하는 출력전류가 변하기 때문에 기존의 전압제어 전류 생성 방법을 적용할 수 없다. 이 논문에서는 입력전압을 이용하여 정격치보다 큰 전류를 제너다이오드에 인가하여 부품의 수명시험을 할 때, 제너다이오드가 경년열화에 의하여 항복전압의 특성이 변하여 부하전압이 달라져도 이에 관계없이 동일한 전류를 낼 수 있는 회로를 개발하였다. 이 방법으로 구성된 회로를 실증하기 위해 각 블럭의 부품 값을 적용하고 시뮬레이션 하여 입력전압으로 출력전류를 선형적으로 제어하는 결과를 확인하였다. 결과에 의하면 우리가 측정하고자 하는 항복전압 이상의 입력전압에 대해서 출력전류가 선형적으로 변하며 제너다이오드의 경년열화에 의한 항복전압의 변화와 관계없이 일정한 전류가 흐르는 것을 확인하였다.

An alternative CMOS implementation of a multi-output four-terminal floating nullor (FTFN) with constant-g$_{m}$ rall-to-rail input stage is proposed. This presented circuit is based on the advantages of a complementary transconductance amplifier and class AB dual translinear cell circuit that comes up with wide bandwidth. The constant-g$_{m}$ characteristic is controlled by the maximum-current selection circuits, maintaining the smooth response over the change of input common mode voltage. The circuit performances are confirmed through HSPICE simulations. A current-mode multifunction filter is used to exhibit the potentiality of this proposed scheme.eme.

Although LEDs have been used in various applications with improving the brightness and luminous efficacy, the electrical and optical characteristics of high power LED varies at different temperature and starting time. In this paper, optimal heat sink and apparatus design were conducted using IR camera and ICEPAK on the LED bulb consisting with fourteen LED array. The temperatures of heat sink and LED device of the designed LED bulb without cooling pan were $74^{\circ}C\;and\;96.8^{\circ}C$, respectively, showing in good themal characteristics. For high efficiency driving circuit of LED array adopted optimal heat sink design, driving circuits of constant voltage and current circuits were suggested and fabricated. As a result the efficacy of all driving circuits showed more than 20 lm/W. Also, the constant current circuits are suitable for signal lamp, hallway lamp, and flash lamp having short operating time(about 30 min). On the other hand, a reading light and indoor lamp having long operating time can be controlled by constant voltage circuit.

This paper presents a new method for controlling the current of lighting LEDs without current sensors. This method can be used as backup against LED current sensor faults. LED lighting requires a circuit with a constant current in order to maintain the same brightness when the ambient temperature changes. Therefore, we propose a new current estimation method to provide backup in case of current sensor faults based on the calculation of the inductor current. In the fabricated circuit, the average current changes from 144.03 mA to 155.97 mA when the ambient temperature changes from 0℃ to 60℃. The application of this study can enable the fabrication of a driving IC for LEDs in the form of a single chip without sensing resistors. This is expected to reduce the complexity of the peripheral circuit and enable precise feedback control.

LED를 고효율 및 고수명으로 동작시키기 위해 장착되는 LED 컨버터는 정전압 및 정전류 구동을 함으로서 LED에 제공되는 전력을 일정한 전압과 전류 값으로 유지하여 LED를 동작시키게 한다. 하지만 이러한 LED 컨버터는 LED의 과열로 인해 전압이 떨어지거나 전력 선로의 손상으로 인한 과전압 혹은 회로 이상에 따른 과전압 발생 시에도 여전히 일정 전압 및 전류를 계속 LED에 공급하게 된다. 결국 LED에 과도한 전압이나 전류가 유입되어도 LED는 계속적으로 발광하기에 결국 파손되는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 LED의 과열이나 전압강하 등의 이유로 과전류가 발생하면 PWM 회로를 정지시키고 일정 전류 이하에서만 PWM 회로가 동작하도록 하며 PWM 회로에서 과전압이 발생되는 경우 회로의 구동을 일시 정지시켜 LED가 과전류와 과전압에 의해 파손되는 것을 방지하는 피드백 회로를 제안한다.
