  • Portable microcontroller based measurement unit is demonstrated using digital-to-analog convertor module, analog-to-digital convertor module and additional preamplifier circuit with low-budget but excellent performances. Using the designed measurement unit, the measurement of current below 1 nA with applying voltage up to 5 V is successfully carried out. With the WiFi module in microcontroller, measured data is transferred to the user's computer. To evaluate the performance of the measurement unit, the transfer curve of a commercial N-type field effect transistor was measured with the measurement unit and the results is well consistent with that measured using commercial characterization system.

  • This paper describes a PMSM control algorithm for realizing a low-cost motor drive system using a general purpose microcontroller. The proposed sensorless algorithm consists of the current observer and the sensorless scheme based on instantaneous reactive power. Also the control board system is not the high-cost DSP(digital signal processor) system but the general purpose microcontroller and it allows to reduce the unit cost of the motor system. However the clock frequency of the proposed microcontroller is one-fifths for the clock frequency of the DSP. In addition, the switching frequency must be selected as the lower frequency because of complex mathematic modeling of the sensorless algorithm. the low switching frequency augments the noise of the motor and might make accurate speed control impossible. Thus this paper proposes the optimization method to supplement the drawback of the general purpose microcontroller and the usefulness of the proposed method is verified through the experiment.

  • The paper presents a monitoring system for the cooling of distribution transformers. The suggested system is controlled by a microcontroller scheme. The system is designed to control the oil temperature. It gives a solution to improve the cooling system by adding a number of fans especially for indoor transformers that are placed in badly-ventilated rooms. Also, the paper includes an alarm system with the possibility of tripping the transformer if it is necessary. The monitoring system consists of acquisition temperature sensor, and on-site unit. The hardware and software of the on-site unit are demonstrated with sufficient illustrations. Small prototype is constructed in the laboratory. Some laboratory experiments are carried out for examining the designed circuit by using Proteus Virtual System Modeling as well as for testing the prototype monitoring system. Concerning this research point, a study is carried out to evaluate the economic feasibility. The results are recorded and associated with many recommendations that may be valuable to electrical distribution (utility) companies.

  • Studying the effects of gamma radiation on the instrumentation and control (I&C) system of a nuclear power plant is critical to the successful and reliable operation of the plant. In the accidental scenario, the adverse environment of ionizing radiation affects the performance of the I&C system and it leads to inaccurate and incomprehensible results. This paper reports the effects of gamma radiation on the AT89C51RD2, a commercial-off-the-shelf 8-bit high-performance flash microcontroller. The microcontroller, selected for the device under test for this study is used in the remote terminal unit for a nuclear power plant. The custom circuits were made to test the microcontroller under different gamma doses using a 60Co gamma source in both ex-situ and in-situ modes. The device was exposed to a maximum dose of 1.5 kGy. Under this hostile environment, the performance of the microcontroller was studied in terms of device current and voltage changes. It was observed that the microcontroller device can operate up to a total absorbed dose of approximately 0.6 kGy without any failure or degradation in its performance.

  • In this paper, we propose and implement a method to optimize Rainbow for 8 bit MCU(Microcontroller Unit). As quantum computers have been developed, the security of existing cryptography, especially the signature algorithms, has been threatened, so it is necessary to apply a signature scheme with a quantum-resistance to IoT devices. Currently, the proposed PQC(Post Quantum Cryptography) are lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and MQ(Multivariate Quadratic)-based cryptographic algorithms and signature schemes. In particular, MQ-based signature schemes are faster than conventional signature schemes and are suitable for IoT devices Do. However, it is difficult to apply 8-bit MCU, which has a large key length and large number of computations, to the memory and performance of IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a method of storing Rainbow, which is a MQ-based signing scheme, in 8-bit MCU by dividing the key and optimizing the computation method. By reducing the memory consumption and improving the algorithm speedily, Compare performance.
