IoT 산업이 빠르게 성장하면서 전원 관리 집적회로의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 리플 Subtractor, 피드 포워드 커패시터, OTA를 이용한 LDO 구조를 제안한다. 이를 통해 10MHz가 넘는 고주파 영역에서도 -40dB 이상 높은 전원 전압 제거비(PSRR)를 얻었다. 설계된 Low-Dropout(LDO) 레귤레이터는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정에서 설계되었으며 시뮬레이션 결과 PSRR은 부하 전류 40mA, 500kHz에서 -73.4dB다. 최대 구동 가능 전류는 40mA이다.

This paper presents a ZigBee wireless communication system for remote diagnosis in overhead distribution power lines. The system is divided in three parts in the functional aspect - a host computer module, a remote controller module and a diagnostic system module. The host computer module designed as USB interface transmits control signals and receive data measured by sensor. The remote controller module operates the diagnostic system. Diagnostic system module communicates with internal main controller and host computer USB. Multiple communication channel is adopted for simultaneous operations of several diagnostic system. Dedicated protocol for each module is developed. The system is designed with a focus on low cost and small size suitable for lightweight and small diagnostic system.

This paper presents a power management system of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) for ubiquitous sensor network (USN) applications. The charge pump with a luminance-controlled oscillator regulates the load impedance of the DSSC to track the maximum power point (MPP) under various light intensities. The low drop-out regulator with a hysteresis comparator supplies intermittent power pulses that are wide enough for USN to communicate with a host transponder even under dim light conditions. With MPP tracking, approximately 50% more power is harvested over a wide range of light intensity. The power management system fabricated using $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology works with DSSC to provide power pulses of $36{\mu}A$. The duration of pulses is almost constant around $80{\mu}s$ (6.5 nJ/pulse), while the pulse spacing is inversely proportional to the light intensity.

This paper presents a wide-frequency-range, low-power transceiver with an automatic impedance-matching calibration for TV-white-space (TVWS) application. The wide-range automatic impedance matching calibration (AIMC) is proposed for the Drive Amplifier (DA) and LNA. The optimal $S_{22}$ and $S_{11}$ matching capacitances are selected in the DA and LNA, respectively. Also, the Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch is integrated to share the antenna and matching network between the transmitter and receiver, thereby minimizing the systemic cost. An N-path filter is proposed to reject the large interferers in the TVWS frequency band. The current-driven mixer with a 25% duty LO generator is designed to achieve the high-gain and low-noise figures; also, the frequency synthesizer is designed to generate the wide-range LO signals, and it is used to implement the FSK modulation with a programmable loop bandwidth for multi-rate communication. The TVWS transceiver is implemented in $0.13{\mu}m$, 1-poly, 6-metal CMOS technology. The die area of the transceiver is $4mm{\times}3mm$. The power consumption levels of the transmitter and receiver are 64.35 mW and 39.8 mW, respectively, when the output-power level of the transmitter is +10 dBm at a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The phase noise of the PLL output at Band 2 is -128.3 dBc/Hz with a 1 MHz offset.

ZigBee를 이용한 개인영역망으로 구성된 무선 다중 통합 레이저 교전 시스템을 구현하였다. 무선 레이저 검출기는 아날로그 신호처리, 해독 및 무선통신 기능을 갖추어야하는 반면 병사의 신체에 부착될 수 있도록 저전력소모, 소형 및 경량화 되어야한다. 소형 및 경량화를 위해 해독기는 소프트웨어적으로 구현하였고, 협대역 광학 필터를 이용하여 시스템의 부하를 줄여줌으로써 저전력화를 꽤하였다. 제작된 무선 레이저 검출기는 광잡음 환경에서도 정상 작동하였다. 무선 개인영역망을 통한 PU(Player Unit)와의 통신은 무선 레이저 검출기의 부착 위치에 따라 다소 차이가 있었으나 -40.2dBm이상의 출력으로 송신할 경우 100%의 수신율을 확보할 수 있었다.

통신 시스템의 성능은 여러 가지 요구 조건을 고려하여 측정되어져야 한다. 이러한 목적으로 잡음 발생기는 주어진 특성을 갖는 잡음 신호를 생성하는데 사용되어진다. 최근의 연구에서 잡음 모델이 복잡한 PSD를 갖는 경우 DCT를 이용한 잡음 발생기가 기존의 잡음 발생기보다 우수한 성능을 보였다. 본 논문에서는 DCT 기반 잡음 발생기에서 DCT를 제외한 회로의 면적을 줄일 수 있는 구조와 전력을 최소화시킬 수 있는 구조를 제안한다. 모의실험에서 면적을 최소화하기 위한 구조는 61-64%의 면적을 줄였으며, 전력을 고려한 구조에서는 88-89%정도의 전력소모를 감소를 예측할 수 있다.

This paper presents a load sharing method based on the low bandwidth communication (LBC) applied to a DC microgrid in order to balance the state of charge (SOC) of the battery units connected in parallel to the common bus. In this method, SOC of each battery unit is transferred to each other through LBC to calculate average SOC value. After that, droop coefficients of battery units are adjusted according to the difference between SOC of each unit and average SOC value of all batteries in the system. The proposed method can effectively balance the SOC of battery units in charging and discharging duration with a simple low bandwidth communication system.

본 논문은 기존 전용선을 이용하는 대신에 PLC(Power Line Communication)를 이용하여 인터넷성능을 평가하고자 한다. 많은 통신망 장비와 작업의 어려운 문제를 단순히 전력선만으로 해결하고자한다. 이와 같이 전력선으로 인터넷을 이용하면 작업의 어려운 문제뿐만 아니라 초기 비용적인 측면에서도 크나큰 이득이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 전력선을 이용하여 인터넷 이용이 어느 수준까지 활용할 수 있는가를 평가, 고찰해보고, 향후 전력선으로 인터넷을 활성화할 수 있는가에 대해 타당성을 고찰하였다.

This paper presents a new rectifier with a bootstrapping technique to reduce the effective drop voltage. An all-digital delay locked loop (ADDLL) circuit was also applied to prevent the reverse leakage current. The proposed rectifier uses NMOS diode connected instead of PMOS to reduce the design size and improve the frequency respond. All the sub-circuits of ADDLL were designed with low power consumption to reduce the total power of the rectifier. The rectifier was implemented in CMOS $0.35{\mu}m$ technology. The peak power conversion efficiency was 76 % at an input frequency of 6.78MHz and a power level of 5W.

In the EH-WSN(Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Network), the routing protocol must consider the power condition of nodes such as residual power and energy harvesting rate. Many EH-WSN studies have emphasized the power aspect and make the urgency of sensed data less important. However, in applications such as environmental monitoring, stability and latency become more important issues than power efficiency for urgent data. In this paper, we designed a routing protocol that can set path according to data urgency. To this end, relay nodes are determined considering the urgency of date. Nodes with poor power do not participate in routing when normal data is generated, so that urgent data can be transmitted reliably with low latency. The performance of the proposed routing protocol is analyzed by computer simulation.
