This paper proposes a PWM phase-shift circuit to make that the LED lighting system distributes the channel currents evenly for any number of LED strings by generating evenly phase-shifted PWM signals for multiple LED driver ICs. The evenly distributed channel currents reduce the peak current, the decoupling capacitor size, and EMI noise. The PWM phase-shift circuit makes an arbitrary degree of PWM phase-shift by using a resistor and a capacitor. It measures the RC delay once. It reduces the number of external resistors and capacitors by providing zero and 180 degree phase-shift modes requiring no resistor and capacitor. An LED driver IC with the PWM phase-shift circuit was fabricated with a $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process. The PWM phase-shift circuit receives a PWM signal of 50 Hz~20 kHz at $f_{CLK}=450kHz$ and it generates a $0{\sim}360^{\circ}$ phase-shifted PWM signal with $R=0{\sim}1.1M{\Omega}$ at C=1 nF and $f_{PWM}=1kHz$. The measured phase errors are 1.74~3.94% due to parasitic capacitances.

Abstract An idea to redce the direct-path short circuit current of the CMOS digital integrated circuit is present. The sample circuit model of the CMOS digital circuit is the CMOS current-control digital output driver circuit, which are also suitable for the low voltage supply integrated circuits as the simple digital inverter, are present in this title. The circuit consists of active MOS load as the current control source, which construct from the saturated n-channel and p-channel MOSFET and the general CMOS inverter circuits. The saturated MOSFET bias can control the output current and the frequency response of the circuit. The experimental results show that lower short circuit current control can make the lower frequency response of the circuit.

This paper proposes a new sustaining driver for AC PDP(Plasma Display Panel), which improves the performance of conventional circuit with reduced sustain voltage such as TERES(TEchnology of REciprocal Sustainer). In the TERES circuit, the sustain voltage is the half of general sustaining driver and there is no energy recovery circuit. The circuit proposed in his paper has an energy recovery circuit and removes surge currents. Although the energy recovery circuit is added, the number of active switching elements is the same as the TERES circuit. The operations of the proposed circuit are analyzed for each mode and its validity is verified by the simulations using PSpice program.

본 논문에서는 최근 3D 콘텐츠의 증가로 다시 주목을 받고 있는 PDP TV를 위한 저가형 구동 시스템을 제안한다. PDP TV의 경우 기체 방전을 이용하여 영상을 표시하는 장치로서 진공 상태의 패널에 수많은 전압을 가하여 플라즈마 상태로 만든 다음 영상 신호에 의하여 영상 및 밝기가 표현된다. 이러한 PDP TV는 많은 전압을 가하기 위하여 3개 전극에 각각 필요한 구동회로 보드가 붙게 되는데, 대 전력을 다루기 때문에 보드 사이즈와 사용되는 소자가 큰 가격을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 3개의 보드로 이루어진 구동 시스템을 오방전을 보상하기 위한 어드레스 에너지 회수 구동회로를 포함한 2개 보드로 이루어진 새로운 저가형 PDP TV 구동회로를 제안하고 이를 42인치 HD PDP TV를 통해 검증한다.

In this paper, High brightness LED (light-emitting diodes) driver IC (integrated circuit) using new current sensing circuit is proposed. This LED driver IC can provide a constant current with high current precision over a wide input voltage range. The proposed current-sensing circuit is composed of a cascode current sensor and a current comparator with only one reference voltage. This IC minimizes the voltage stress of the MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) from the maximum input voltage and has low power consumption and chip area by using simple-structured comparator and minimum bias current. To confirm the functioning and characteristics of our proposed LED driver IC, we designed a buck converter. The LED current ripple of the designed IC is in ${\pm}5%$ and a tolerance of the average LED current is lower than 2.43%. This shows much improved feature than the previous method. Also, protections for input voltage and operating temperature are designed to improve the reliability of the designed IC. Designed LED driver IC uses 1.0 ${\mu}m$ X-Fab. BiCMOS process parameters and electrical characteristics and functioning are verified by spectre (Cadence) simulation.

본 논문에서는 기존의 Bus-Invert Coding 계통의 여러 알고리즘들이 관습적으로 사용하던 Invert-line 을 제거하고 버스선을 통하여 코딩정보를 전송하는 새로운 설계방법을 제시하였다. Flip-Driver라고 하는 새로운 형태의 버스드라이버와 선택회로를 사용한 이 방식은 Invert-line을 사용하지 않을 뿐 아니라 코딩정보 전송 시 발생하는 추가적인 버스의 전이를 효과적으로 억제한다. 이러한 회로설계방식의 변환만으로도 여러 BI 알고리즘의 효율이 Invert-line을 사용할 때와 비교하여 40%-100% 증대시킬 수 있음을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

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.

A highly efficient sustaining driver is proposed for plasma display panels (PDPs). When the PDP is charged and discharged, the proposed sustaining driver employs an address voltage source used in an addressing period. A voltage source is used for fully charging the panel to the sustaining voltage, and an initial inductor current helps the panel discharge to 0 V. The resonance between the panel and an inductor is made by shifting the voltage and current bias level when charging and discharging the panel. As a result, the proposed circuit can reduce power consumption, switching loss, heat dissipation, and production cost. Experimental results of a 42-inch PDP are provided to verify the operation and features of the proposed circuit.
