This paper proposed the single phase multi-level PWM AC/DC converter using binary combine which controls input current by combining buck converters to improve input current characteristic, and confirmed its validity throughout simulation and experiment. This method, which is multiplying and duplicating output of converter of equal capacity, has the advantage of being able to control unit power factor of input current and reducing of the problem caused by high frequency switching, and appling to high power converter because filter is not necessary etc.

The HVAC(Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning) system is controlled by two ways, one is ON/OFF control and the other is PWM inverter with V/F. Control of blower with the use of PWM inverter has quite some benefits such as the capability of changing speed, high efficiency and reduced noise level compared with ON/OFF control. But if blower is operated at low speed, high THD generated by decrease of ma, and output voltage lowered in proportion to frequency. To solve these problems, filter should be installed at the output stage of inverter, which can decrease THD but has problems such as increase of volume size and additional braking resistance. This paper proposes the PWAM method which can reduce THD instead of installing the filter at the output stage of inverter. The proposed PWAM method is an inverter modulation method that fixes the modulation index of inverter to reduce THD by varying DC link voltage of inverter unlike conventional PWM method. Finally, the validity of proposed PWAM methods verified by experiments.

A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive the LED lighting, a power converter with the constant output current is needed. Among many power converters, the flyback converter is chosen by many converter designers due to high power density, structural simplicity, and miniaturization. In this converter, an electrolytic capacitor is generally chosen for the stabilization of the DC voltage because of having the large capacitance and the low price. However, the disadvantages are the short expected life time and 120Hz ripple currents on the converter output node. In this paper, a single-stage dimmable PFC DCM flyback converter without the electrolytic capacitor is proposed to prolong the lifetime of the LED driver. For the long lifetime of the converter, the polyester film capacitor with the small capacitance is substituted for the electrolytic capacitor on the output node and an LC resonant filter is added to damp 120Hz ripple current. The proposed converter is verified through the simulation and the experimental works.

A simulation study of a current-mode direct current (DC)-DC boost converter is presented in this paper. This converter, with a fully-integrated power module, is implemented by using bipolar complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. The current-sensing circuit has an op-amp to achieve high accuracy. With the sense metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) in the current sensor, the sensed inductor current with the internal ramp signal can be used for feedback control. In addition, BiCMOS technology is applied to the converter, for accurate current sensing and low power consumption. The DC-DC converter is designed with a standard 0.35 ${\mu}m$ BiCMOS process. The off-chip inductor-capacitor (LC) filter is operated with an inductance of 1 mH and a capacitance of 12.5 nF. Simulation results show the high performance of the current-sensing circuit and the validity of the BiCMOS converter. The output voltage is found to be 4.1 V with a ripple ratio of 1.5% at the duty ratio of 0.3. The sensing current is measured to be within 1 mA and follows to fit the order of the aspect ratio, between sensing and power FET.

Voltage sags are considered the dominant disturbances affecting power quality. Dynamic voltage restorers(DVRs) are mainly used to protect sensitive loads from the electrical network voltage disturbances such as sags or swells and could be used to reduce harmonic distortion of ac voltages. The typical DVR topology essentially contains a PWM inverter with LC Filter, an injection transformer connected between the ac voltage line and the sensitive load, and a DC energy storage device. For injecting series voltage, the PWM inverter is used and the passive filter consist of inductor(L) and capacitor(C) for harmonics elimination of the inverter. However there are voltage pulsation responses by the characteristic of the LC passive filter that eliminate the harmonics of the PWM output waveform of the inverter. Therefore, this paper presented design and feedback performance of LC filter used in the DVRs. The voltage control by LC filter should be connected in the line side since this feedback method allows a relatively faster dynamic response, enabling the elimination of voltage notches or spikes in the beginning and in the end of sags and strong load voltage THD reduction. Illustrative examples are also included.

For fast response of the dc output voltage in PWM converter, the relationship of power balance of both the input and output should be introduced to the system modeling. Then, a nonlinear control theory using state feedback linearization is useful to control the system. By nonlinear control, the voltage response can be fast, so the size of the output filter capacitor can be reduced as long as the same response is kept. The validity of the proposed scheme is shown from the simulation results.

In this paper, a multilevel PWM inverter employing a cascaded transformer is presented to reduce the harmonics of output voltage and load currents. The proposed PWM inverter consists of two full-bridge modules and their corresponding transformers. The secondarics of each transformer are series-connected. So continuous output voltage levels can be synthesized from the suitable selection of the turns ratio of trasformer. And it appears an integral ratio to input DC source. Because of the cascaded connection of transformers, output filter inductor is not necessary. The operational principles and analysis are explained, and it is compared with a conventional isolated H-bridge PWM inverter. The validity of proposed multilevel inverter is verified through simulated and experimental waveform and their FFT results.

전류모드 아날로그 회로를 이용하여 FIR(Finite Impulse Response) 필터를 설계하는 경우에 tap coefficient와 전류모드 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) LSI의 회전인자(twiddle factor)를 실현시키기 위해서는 높은 정밀도를 갖는 전류 감쇠 회로가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문은 전류 모드 신호처리 기술에서 전류감쇠 회로의 감쇠 정밀도를 향상시킬 수 있는 기술을 소개하고자한다. 먼저 게이트 길이 비율을 조정하는(gate-ratioed) Current Mirror 회로를 사용하는 기존의 전류 감쇠 조정회로에 있어서의 DC offset 전류 에러에 대하여 분석하였으며, 다음으로 DC offset 전류 에러를 제거할 수 있는 전류감쇠 회로를 제안하였다. 회로 구성은 입력 전류를 1/N로 감쇠시킬 수 있도록 N개의 Current Mirror를 병렬로 연결하는 기본 구성을 하였으며, Kirchhoff 전류 법칙에 근거하여, 전류 감쇠가 결정되도록 설계하였다. 또한 Current Mirror 회로에서, 정전류원의 사용을 줄일 수 있는 회로설계를 제안하였다. 제안된 전류 감쇠 회로에서 정밀도는 Current Mirror의 ac 이득 에러에 의하여 제한되며 High Swing Current Mirror를 기본 Current Mirror로 사용한 경우에, 최대 정밀도는 이론상 입력 전류의 -80[dB]까지 실현가능하다.

본 연구에서는 자동차용 강압 DC-DC 컨버터 모듈 설계 방법 중 변조 스위칭 잡음과 전자파 방사의 감소방법에 대한 시뮬레이션 연구가 수행되었다. PMIC(Power Management Integrated Circuit) 칩을 이용한 4층 PCB 기본 회로가 제시되었고, 컨버터 모듈의 두 입력단자(+, -) 및 입력 필터와 PMIC 사이에서의 전자파 잡음과 전자기 방사 특성에 대한 시뮬레이션이 1.0~5.0MHz 대역과 100MHz 대역에서 수행되었다. 전도성 방사 특성은 3.0MHz와 104MHz에 대한 결과를 제시하였고, 입력포트로 되돌아오는 전도성 방사를 줄이기 위해 컨버터 출력 단자를 PCB의 3층 혹은 4층에 입력단의 전류 흐름과 반대되는 방향으로 배치하여 평균 10dB 이상의 개선효과가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 지금까지 제시된 불요 전자파 감소 방법에 비해 개선효과가 높아 향후 컨버터 모듈 설계에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
