Total 144 quadrupole magnets are installed in PLS. The magnets are connected in series with groups of two or 24. Each group is powered by a high-precision constant-current DC power supply. For the purpose of the beam based alignment of beam position monitors in the PLS, it is necessary to adjust the current of each quadrupole independently. To achieve this, a high current shunt regulator is designed. It can shunt a maximum 50 A of the quadrupole magnet current. The shunt regulator is programmable and the current amplitude can be varied linearly with a 12-bit resolution. Power transistors are used in the current shunt regulator. The operation of transistors is in linear region. The RS232C protocol is used for remote control and status report of the shunt regulator to the main control centre of the PLS. Preliminary result indicates that the calibration accuracy of the beam position monitor can be achievable in less than $10{\mu}m$.

This paper presents an active current regulator for LED driver IC. The proposed driver circuit is consists of DC-DC converter for supplying constant DC voltage to LED, active current regulator for compensating channel-to-channel current error from LED strings and feedback circuit for controlling duty ratio of the converter. The proposed active current regulator senses current of LED channels by equalizing both $V_{DS}$ and $V_{GS}$ at LED current control transistor. Because the proposed circuit directly measures the LED channel current without a sensing resistor and regulates all channel with same regulation loop, the power consumption and the current error are much small compared with previous works. The measured maximum efficiency of overall LED driver IC is approximately 94% and current error of LED channel-to-channel is under ${\pm}1.3%$. The proposed LED driver IC is fabricated Dongbu 0.35um BCD process.

In this paper, we propose an LDO that improves the load regulation change due to the current detection structure. The proposed LDO regulator adds the proposed current detection circuit to the output stage. Thereby to improve the load regulation of the delta value coming in on the output has a voltage value of an improved load Regulation characteristics than conventional LDO regulator. Using the proposed current detection structure, it was possible to improve the output change according to the change of the load current by about 60%. The proposed circuit has been simulated and verified characteristics by using a Spectre, Virtuoso simulation of Cadence.

Conventional LDO regulator external capacitors can reduce transient response characteristics such as overshoot and undershoot. However, the capacitorless LDO regulator proposed in this study applied body technology to the pass transistor to improve the transient response and provide excellent current drive capability. The operating conditions of the proposed LDO regulator are set to an input voltage that varies from 3.3V to 4.5V, a maximum load current of 200mA, and an output voltage of 3V. As a result of the measurement, it was found that when the load current was 100 mA, the voltage was 95 mV in the undershoot state and 105 mV in the overshoot state.

The feedback buffer structure is proposed to alleviate the overshoot and undershoot phenomenon and the regulation of the output voltage. The conventional LDO regulator undergoes a regulation voltage change caused by a constant load current change. An LDO regulator with a feedback voltage sensing structure operates in the input voltage range of 3.3 to 4.5 V and has a load current of up to 150 mA at output voltage of 3 V. According to the simulation results, a regulation value of 6.2 mV was ensured when the load current uniformly changed to 150 mA.

The introduction of resonant link inverters has allowed the use of much higher switching frequencies in induction motor current regulators. The resonant link inverter,however, requries the use of discrete time switching strategies. This type of controller,while giving the best possible performance, is difficult to implement, since motor parameters must be calculated or measured. The delta modulated current regurator (DMCR) has been introduced as a controller without additional state feedback. A discrete pulse modulated current regulator which controls load current is introduced in the paper.

Control voltage for baseband channel selection filter to select one of communication channels can be easily fluctuated according to external noise or variation of fabrication. In this paper, we design a voltage regulator with small chip area to keep control voltage constantly using current comparative method. Cut-off frequency of channel selection filter is automatically controlled by detecting current flow using the proposed voltage regulator.

Due to improvement of the semiconductor technology, the LED replaces the conventional lighting source and LED drivers have been studied and developed. The LED is driven by the constant current control method according to its characteristics. For the constant current control method, the linear regulator and the switching regulator is used. The switching regulator is usually used to LED drivers because it has specific characteristics as the wide input dynamic range and the high efficiency. In this paper, we have described the principle and the implement of the switching regulator, using the drive IC and the low cost DSP chip. Also, both methods have been implemented and its electrical characteristics had almost same experimental results in the steady state and the transient state.
