The dc reactor type high-Tc superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is composed of three parts, a power converter, a magnetic core reactor(MCR) and a dc reactor. This study concerned with the power converter of the DC reactor type high-Tc SFCL. The rectifying devices which power converter of 6.6kV/200A SFCL consists of have to endure high voltage. We propose the dual mode power converter to reduce the voltage which each rectifying device endures. In the single phase the experiment and simulation of dual mode power converter and the simulation of power converter with one bridge rectifier are performed. The current of each system with different power converter has a same tendency and the voltage which rectifying device of dual mode power converter endures is reduced in half by comparison with that of power converter with one bridge rectifier. We found dual mode power converter can be applied to SFCL.

Using a current-mode multiple reset, a current-to-voltage(I-V) converter with a wide dynamic range was produced. The converter consists of a trans-impedance amplifier(TIA), an analog-to-digital converter(ADC), and an N-bit counter. The digital output of the I-V converter is composed of higher N bits and lower bits, obtained from the N-bit counter and the ADC, respectively. For an input current that has departed from the linear region of the TIA, the counter increases its digital output, this determines a reset current which is subtracted from the input current of the I-V converter. This current-mode reset is repeated until the input current of the TIA lies in the linear region. This I-V converter is realized using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ LSI technology. It is shown that the proposed I-V converter can increase the maximum input current by a factor of $2^N$ and widen the dynamic range by $6^N$. Additionally, the I-V converter is successfully applied to a photometric sensor.

Recently current mode control is widely adopted in switching power converter because of inherent stablity and ability of parallel operating. There are several ways in current mode control. One of them, peak current control is chiefly employed. Peak current mode control converter usually senses and controls peak inductor current. But there is peak-to-average current errors. Therefore peak current control needs compensation ramp correcting the errors. Average current mode control eliminates these problems, and is constructed by simple structures. This paper will describe the behavior of a simple average current mode boost converter and introduce the design techniques.

This paper studies a novel boost DC-DC converter operated high efficiency for discontinuous current mode (DCM) control. The converter worked in DCM eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement, reduces a number of components, and reduces the used reactive components size. In the general DCM converter, the switching devices are turned-on the zero current switching (ZCS), and the switching devices must be switched-off at a maximum reactor current. To achieve the zero voltage switching (ZVS) at the switching turn-off, the proposed converter is constructed by using a new loss-less snubber circuit. Soft-switched operation of the proposed boost converter is verified by digital simulation and experimental results. A new boost converter achieves the soft-switching for all switching devices without increasing their voltage and current stresses. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of boost DC-DC converter is high.

The switch mode power supply is a source of EMI with other equipment as well as with its own proper operation because of rapid changes in voltages and currents within a switching converter. The EMI is transmitted in two forms: radiated and conducted. Conducted noise consists of two categories known as the differential mode and the common mode. Common mode noise current is a major source of EMI in the switch mode Power supply. Recently, a current balancing technique has been studied to reduce the common mode noise. This paper investigates the reduction of common mode noise according to a node expansion of the switch mode power supply which is based on a current balancing technique. In this paper, seven PCB patterns of the forward converter are manufactured and experimented.

This paper presents Continuous-current mode of $S^4$-PFC(Single-Stage Single-switch Power Factor Correction) converter. Proposed converter operates in the continueous current mode(CCM) at full load and discontinuous current mode(DCM) at light load.

본 논문에서는 임계전류도통모드로 동작하는 디지털제어 단상 역률개선(PFC; power-factor correction) 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 PFC를 위하여 DC-DC 부스트 컨버터 구조를 이용하며 인덕터전류를 임계도통모드로 동작시킨다. 또한 제안한 컨버터는 마이컴을 이용하여 디지털적으로 제어되기 때문에 제어회로는 간단해지고 컨버터는 더욱 효과적으로 동작한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 제안한 컨버터의 동작원리를 설명하고 회로를 해석한다. 그리고 본 논문은 제안한 컨버터의 구현방법을 소프트웨어와 회로설계 부분으로 구분하여 구체적인 설계예와 함께 설명한다. 또한 설계된 회로파라미터에 의한 프로토타입 컨버터의 실험결과로 제안한 컨버터가 단상 PFC 컨버터로써 좋은 동작 특성을 가지고 있음을 보인다.

저전력 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템용 FFT(Fast-Fourier-Transform) LSI를 저전력 동작을 시키기 위해서 FFT LSI는 current-mode 회로로 구현되었다. Current-mode FFT LSI에서, VIC(Voltage-to-current converter)는 입력 전압 신호를 전류로 바꾸는 first main device이다. 저전력 OFDM을 위해 FFT LSI와 VIC가 한 개의 칩과 결합되는 것을 고려하면, VIC는 전력 손실은 낮고, VIC와 FFT LSI 사이에서의 DC offset 전류는 최소인 작은 크기의 chip으로 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 VIC를 제안한다. 선형 동작구간을 넓히고 DC offset 전류를 대폭 감소하는 방법을 제시하였다. VIC는 0.35[um] CMOS process로 구현되었으며, 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면 제안된 VIC는 current-mode FFT LSI와 0.1[uA] 미만의 매우 작은 DC offset 전류, 1.4[V]의 넓은 선형구간을 갖으며, 저전력으로 동작한다.

A multi-phase interleaved buck converter is used to reduce current ripples and filter size of a power supply. This paper addresses the modelling and steady-state analysis of the multi-phase interleaved buck converter operated in discontinuous inductor current mode. The model is derived using an averaging technique in steady state. The do voltage ratio and the range of the discontinuous inductor current mode(DICM) and the continuous output current mode(COCM) are derived from the averaged state-space model. In addition, the efficiency is investigated according to the number of phase.
