This study proposes an isolation amplifier circuit for the sensing and feedback of inverter DC-link voltage, which is inevitable for the precise control of inverter output voltage. The isolation amplifier consists of a pulse-width modulator and a pulse transformer with dual secondary windings. The accuracy of the proposed circuit depends on the precise matching of filter parameters in dual secondary circuits. The influences of parameter inaccuracy on the amplifier performances are analyzed. A modified circuit is proposed to reduce the dependency on filter parameters. The validity of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experiment.

In the near future, the voltage of power system for passenger vehicle will be changed to 42V from existing 14V./ Because of increasing power and voltage ratings used in the vehicle the motor drive system has high switching dv/dt and it generates electromagnetic interference (EMI) To solve these problems multi-level inverter system may be used The feature of multi-level inverter is the output voltage to be synthesized from several levels of voltage Because of this feature high switching dv/dt and EMI can be reduced in the multi-level inverter system But as the number of level is increased manufacturing cost is getting expensive and system size is getting large. Because of these disadvantages the application of multi-level inverter has been restricted only to high power drives. The method to reduce manufacturing cost and system size is to integrate circuit of multi-level inverter into a few chips But isolated power supply and signal isolation circuit using transformer or opto-coupler for drive circuit are obstacles to implement the integrated circuit (IC) In this paper a drive circuit of 4-level inverter suitable for integration to hybrid or one chip is proposed In the proposed drive circuit DC link voltage is used directly as the power source of each gate drive circuit NPN transistors and PNP transistors are used to isolate to transfer the control signals. So the proposed drive circuit needs no transformers and opto-couplers for electrical isolation of drive circuit and is constructed only using components to be implemented on a silicon wafer With th e proposed drive circuit 4- level inverter system will be possible to be implemented through integrated circuit technology Using the proposed drive circuit 4- level inverter system is constructed and the validity and characteristics of the proposed drive circuit are proved through the experiments.

In this study, using a periodical ground structure(PGS) on GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC), transmission line with a high isolation characteristic was developed for application to compact signal/bias lines of highly integrated MMIC. And the origin of the high isolation characteristic was theoretically investigated. The high isolation characteristic was originated from a resonance between adjacent microstrip lines employing PGS. With only a spacing of $20{\mu}m$, the coupled microstrip line employing PGS showed an isolation value of -47 dB at 60 GHz. The frequency range for high isolation was easily controlled by changing the PGS structure. Above results indicate that microstrip lines employing PGS are very useful for application to compact signal/bias lines of highly integrated MMIC requiring a high isolation characteristics between lines. In addition, equivalent circuit employing closed-form equation for the coupled line with PGS was also extracted.

본 논문에서는 반도체 방식의 직접 터치식 capacitive type 지문인식센서의 신호처리를 위한 회로를 제안하였다. 센서로부터의 capacitance의 변화를 전압의 신호로 전환하기 위해서 charge-sharing 방식의 회로를 적용하였다. 지문센서 감도저하의 가장 큰 원인인 sensor plate에 존재하는 parasitic capacitance를 제거하여 ridge와 valley 사이의 전압차를 향상시키기 위하여 기존과는 다른 아날로그 버퍼회로를 설계 적용하였다. 센서 하부회로와의 isolation 대책을 통하여 ESD 및 노이즈방지를 위한 설계를 실시하였다. 제안된 신호처리회로는 128$\times$144 pixel 규모의 회로로 구현되었다. 본 설계회로는 향후 생체인식을 이용한 정보보호용 지문인식 시스템에 응용될 수 있으리라 본다.

본 논문은 출력 포트 사이의 물리적인 분리와 전기적 격리도를 개선시킨 비대칭 분배기기의 설계와 성능을 나타낸 것이다. 이 분배기는 입력 포트와 연결된 두 개의 ${\lambda}/4$ 전송선로의 중앙에 격리소자 저항 $18{\Omega}$과 캐패시터 0.7 pF를 직렬로 연결하여 출력 포트 사이에 격리도를 높였고, 출력 포트가 다른 회로에 연결이 쉽도록 하는 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 이러한 설계는 출력포트의 격리도를 물리적으로 향상시켜주며, 이 분배기와 다른 회로가 연결 될 때 별도의 전송선로가 필요 없이 연결할 수 있는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이러한 특성을 확인하기 위하여 중심 주파수 2 GHz에서 4:1 비대칭 분배기를 설계하였고 측정된 결과는 반사계수가 17 dB 이상, 삽입손실은 1.5 dB 와 7.7 dB, 그리고 격리도는 18 dB 이상 특성을 얻었다. 이러한 전기적 특성은 시뮬레이션 결과와 일치함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a novel prototype of the utility AC power interfaced soft-switching sinewave pulse modulated inverter using the high-frequency flyback for the small scale distributed renewable energy power conditioner. The proposed cricuit with a high-frequency isolation link has a funtion of electrical isolation, which is more cost-effective and reliable for the small-scale distributed renwal energy utilization system from a safety point of riew. The discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) operation of the high-frequency flyback transformer is adopted to establish a simple and low-cost circuit configuration and control scheme. For the simplicity, the circuit operating principle is described on the basis of the modified conventional full bridge inverter, whitch is the typical conventional high-frequency full-bridge inverter employing the high requency flyback transformer to eanble the effictive function of the electrical isolation. Than, the new circuit topology of the unility-interfaced soft-switching sinewave pulse modulated inverter using IGBTs is proposed. The proposed cricuit topology is additionally composed of the auxiliary power regenerating snubber cricuits, which are also mathematically analyzed for the parameter desigen settings. Finally, the performance of the propose inverter is evaluated on the basis of computer-aid simulation. It is noted that the sinewave pulse modulated output current of the inverter is synchronous to the AC main voltage.

In this paper, Asynchronous Self-Power Gating technique (ASPG) is used to reduce consumption power in asynchronous digital watch application. The power gating control signal is automatically generated by internal system operation characteristics instead of using replica circuit delay or four-phase handshaking protocol. Isolation cell is designed to insert it between power gating domain and normal operation domain. By using self-power gating circuit, asynchronous digital watch application consumes very low power and maintains data during sleep mode. The comparison results show the proposed ASPG technique saves leakage power up to 40.47% and delay time is reduced to 71% compared to the conventional circuit.
