Over the past few decades, CMOS current comparators have been used in a wide range of applications, including analogue circuits, MVL (multiple-valued logic) circuits, and various electronic products. A current comparator is generally used in an ADC (analog-to-digital) converter of sensors and similar devices, and several techniques and approaches have been implemented to design the current comparator to improve performance. To this end, this paper presents a bibliographical survey of recently-published research on different current comparator topologies for low-power and high-speed applications. Moreover, several aspects of the CMOS current comparator are discussed regarding the design implementation, parameters, and performance comparison in terms of the power dissipation and operational speed. This review will serve as a comparative study and reference for researchers working on CMOS current comparators in low-power and high-speed applications.

Whenever moving surfaces of machine driving elements interact in air and lubricating oil, oxidization film on the surfaces are generated. It is effect to prevent friction and wear on contact area. Since the electronic current progress the oxidization of metal, if the electronic flow be regulated, the thickness of oxidization film can be regulated and friction characteristics can be improved. But the electronic current can deteriorate friction characteristics, so various characteristics must be investigated on transforming of electronic current. Therefor, using the Norton equation in this study, short current were transformed between frictional materials using ball on disk type tester. It was studied on effect of electronic current for friction characteristics.

Several kinds of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs), which reduces huge fault current, have been developing by many research groups. The SFCL has no impedance during normal operation, so it dose not give any influence to electric power system. The resistive type SFCL reduces the fault current with the impedance generated in the superconducting part of the SFCL when the fault current exceeds the critical current of SFCL. In this paper, a new type resistive SFCL made of bifilar coil wound with two different high-Tc superconducting (HTS) wires in parallel. Although a bifilar coil has theoretically no inductance, the bifilar coil made in this paper could generate inductance at fault. The specifications of the used two wires were considerably different, thus current distribution between the two HTS wire was different at fault. When the fault current exceeded the critical current of one wire in the bifilar coil, the momentary sharp increase of impedance was detected. Base on the results, a new resistive type SFCL can generate not only resistance but also inductance, which can be used to control a fault current in the future.

In this Paper, we suggested the Half-Bridge inverter for the automotive HID electronic ballast. electronic ballast for automotive HID lamp should be supplied by low-frequency square wave avoiding the acoustic resonance(11kHz ∼ 825kHz). When the HID lamp is hot state, the electronic ballast should supply the sufficient current for a few milli-second to the lamp at the re-strike ignition state. that is called take-over current. We have introduced the new take-over current control method that could have reduced the peak current and supplied the sufficient take-over current.

We analyzed the drift current by charged particles according to the loading methods applied into a closed cell by electronic ink at a reflective-type display panel using an electrophoretic mechanism. For this experiment, various panels were fabricated with injection voltages for electronic ink taking values in the range -4~0 V. The size of each cell was 220 ㎛ × 220 ㎛ and height of the barrier rib was 54.28 ㎛. The electronic ink was fabricated by mixing electrically neutral fluid and single-charge white particles. Drift current was measured by moving charged particles. A biasing voltage of 6 V was applied to the display panel. As a result, the drift current was proportional to the injection voltage for electronic ink, but it decreased in case of an injection voltage above -3 V. Our experimentation ascertained that the concentration of charged particles injected into closed cells is controlled by the injection voltage and the selective injection of charged particles above movable q/m is possible.

This paper is about a development of effective practice subject in electronic circuit textbook of industrial high school. This paper introduces generally about the practice subject in electronic circuit textbook of industrial high school of the 7th National curriculum and presents problem of current practice and makes an alternative idea that improve current practice. The contents of current electronic circuit textbook of industrial high school have variety topics and these topics are independence and separated. So students have some problems to apply of learned knowledge. Therefore, researcher improved the various electronic circuit practice in current electronic circuit text book and added new practice and manufactured a electronic circuit module based on these circuits. And researcher suggested new practice subject what useful electronic equipment that assembled module of result of electronic circuit practice of each section. When the last subjects are accomplished the students may have feel of achievement and high study effect from these practice. The practice subjects of this paper were manufactured after verification and tested it's performance by computer simulation program I hope that these new practice subjects make effective understanding and application of electronic circuit for student.

A current intensity convertible CLD chip was fabricated using small and large FET cell configuration. Pinch-off current of 8.82 mA and 11.56 mA were obtained for small and large cell in the CLD chip, respectively. Constant current was fairly maintained until the breakdown voltage of 60 V. Measured knee voltage, $V_k$ were 3.8 V and 4.5 V for small and large cell, respectively. We configured current amplifying chip with parallel connection of each cells, by connecting 8 individual large cells in parallel network, 92.0 mA of current was obtained. The pinch-off constant current of CLD chip was varied very linearly with respect to the number of parallel connected cell.

A current transformer(CT) should provide the faithful reproduction of the primary current to the measurement or the protection equipments. The exciting current resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of the core causes an error between the primary current and the secondary current of the CT. A compensating algorithm for the secondary current of the current transformer that removes the effects of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core has proposed. The core flux linkage is calculated by integrating the measured secondary current, and then inserted into the flux-magnetizing current curve to obtain the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core-loss and magnetizing currents and added to the measured current to obtain the correct current. This paper describes the innovative new product of the iron-cored electronic current transformer. This product composes an iron-cored CT and an intelligent electronic device(IED) ported the compensating algorithm. The test results of the iron-cored electronic current transformers in Korea Electro-technology Research Institute(KERI) are presented.

An investigation was conducted to determine whether the ratio of the fluid to the charged particles affects the panel reflexibility rate and the drifting current flowing in the panel, in electrophoretic-based electronic paper. In this regard, three panels were produced in this study with the ratio of the charged particles to the fluid set as 1:5, 1:1, and 5:1. Each sample was driven using an identical input pulse, for which the current flowing in the panel and the output voltage of the photodiode were measured for the panel reflexibility rate. Consequently, the drifting current initially exhibited a peak value and a saturated value at a later point. This value was proportional to the ratio of the charged particles, and it was similar to this ratio when it is higher than 1:1. The output voltage of the photodiode due to the panel reflexibility rate was proportional to the ratio of the charged particles. However, the response speed decreased if the ratio was higher than 1:1. It is expected that the results of this study will contribute to the analysis of the charging of charged particles in electrophoretic-based electronic paper, and the selection of an appropriate concentration.
