A SCALDO(Supercapacitor Assisted LDO) regulator is a new regulator having advantages of a SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply) which has a good efficiency and a LDO(Low Drop-out) regulator which has stable output characteristics and good EMI(Electro Magnetic Interference) characteristics. However, a conventional SCALDO regulator needs a lot of power consumption to control its switches and it drops an efficiency of the circuit. In this paper, to reduce switching power consumption and improve an efficiency of the circuit, a new SCALDO regulator adopting MOSFETs as its switching parts is proposed and it is found out that the proposed SCALDO regulator has the maximum 9.5% higher efficiency than the conventional SCALDO regulator. We also try to simplify production process of the circuit by changing switching control method of the circuit from MCU(Micro-controller unit) based firmware control to hardware control using a comparator and a T-F/F(Flip Flop).

This paper is concerned about the development system that the bead width's size can be controlled. In order to control the bead width, DC motor driving slide on auto carriage is used. The adjustment of bead width is carried by amplitude and weaving shape is controlled by MCU(Micro Controller Unit). We confirmed the result by tracking experiments.

In this paper, We studied LED(Light Emitted Diode) sensor lights system using PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensor, CdS and MCU(Micro Controller Unit). And applied the valley fill circuit to improve the power factor. We designed the amplifier for each sensor and the LED driver for constant current which is the buck converter. Also, we proposed the algorithm of LED control by each sensors using MCU. Experimental results showed that power factor is 92% with valley fill circuit.

We propose an embedded solution to design a high-speed and high-accuracy 16bit analog-digital signal processing interface for the control systems using various external analog signals. Choosing TMS320F28377D micro controller unit (MCU) featuring high-performance processing in the 32-bit floating point operation, low power consumption, and various I/O device supports, we design and build the proposed system that supports both 16-bit analog-digital converter (ADC) interface and high precision digital-analog converter (DAC) interface. The ADC receives voltage-level differential signals from fully differential amplifiers, and the DAC communicates with MCU through 50 MHz bandwidth high-fast serial peripheral interface (SPI). We port the boot loader and device drivers to the implemented board, and construct the firmware development environment for the application programming. The performance of the entire implemented system is demonstrated by analog-digital signal processing tests, and is verified by comparing the test results with those of existing similar systems.

전기차량용 차량제어기는 차량 전체의 구동 전략과 브레이크 시의 회생제동, 고전압 배터리의 SOC management 등을 제어하는 역할을 한다. 엑셀 페달 및 브레이크 페달의 신호를 입력 받아 운전자의 주행의지를 받아 들이고, 차량의 각종 제어기들과 CAN 통신을 통하여 필요한 정보들을 송수신한다. 이러한 입/출력 동작을 통하여 차량 전체의 구동전략을 세우고 각종 제어기들에게 주행에 필요한 정보를 전달한다. MCU(Main Control Unit)로는 32bit micro-controller 이 적용되었으며, 열충격과 고온동작 내구 등의 환경시험 및 전자기파 적합성 시험등을 통해 외부환경 변화에도 요구 성능을 만족함을 확인하였다. 이러한 성공적인 개발을 통해 2011년 초 시범양산되는 현대기아자동차의 BLUE ON 에 양산적용될 예정이라는 데에 의의가 있다.

Many studies have examined robot control using human bio signals but complicated signal processing and expensive hardware are necessary. This study proposes a method to recognize a human's hand motion using a low-cost EMG sensor and Flex sensor. The method to classify movement of the hand and finger is determined from the change in output voltage measured through MCU. The analog reference voltage is determined to be 3.3V to increase the resolution of movement identification through experiment. The robotic hand is designed to realize the identified movement. The hand has four fingers and a wrist that are controlled using pneumatic cylinders and a DC servo motor, respectively. The results show that the proposed simple method can realize human hand motion in a remote environment using the fabricated robotic hand.

A steering control system based on CAN(Controller Area Network) for autonomous tractor was developed to reduce duty of a central processing computer and to improve performance of steering control in terms of reduced control interval and error. The steering control system consisted of a SCU (Steering Control Unit), an EHPS system, and a potentiometer. The SCU consisted of an MCU (Micro Controller unit), an A/D converter, and a DC-DC converter, and a PID controller was used to control steering angle. The steering control system was communicated with the computer by CAN-bus. Each actuator and implement was connected to a multi-function board interfacing with the computer through a USB cable. Without CAN, control interval of the autonomous tractor was 1.5 seconds. When the CAN-based steering control system was combined with the autonomous tractor, however, control interval of the integrated system was reduced to those less than 0.05 seconds. When the autonomous tractor was operated with 1.5-s and 0.05-s control cycles at a 0.63-m/s travelling speed, the trajectories were close to straight lines for both of the control cycles. For a 1.34-m/s traveling speed, tractor trajectory was close to sine wave with a 1.5-s control cycle, but was straight line with a 0.05-s control cycle.

Almost all of control schemes proposed so far have been designed in the continuous-time domain theoretically. Actual systems, however, have been implemented in the discrete-time domain since Micro Control Unit(MCU) and/or microprocessors have been used for the controllers. Thus, the overall system turned to be a sampled-data system, and generally speaking, the ultimate error cannot converge to zero in the actual system even though the proposed control algorithm showed the asymptotic stability in the continuous-time domain. In this paper, therefore, the ultimate error bound of a sampled data system with a short sampling period has been investigated. The ultimate error is shown to be related in the sampling period.

Although most of control methods have been studied in the continuous-time domain, the actual control systems have been implemented using MCU (Micro Control Unit) and/or microprocessors so that the overall systems turn to be sampled-data systems. In this case, the stability criterion of the closed-loop system is not easy to derive. In this paper, a simple stability criterion for the sampled-data system with sliding mode controller is derived.
