Multiple output converters (MOCs) are widely used for applications which require various kinds of the output voltages due to its advantages in cost, volume, and efficiency. However, most of the MOCs developed so far can regulate only one output tightly and require as many secondary windings in the transformer as the number of the outputs. In this paper, a novel Time Division Multiple Control (TDMC) method to regulate all the outputs in high precision is proposed and applied to the double ended forward converter for the multiple battery charger. Additional benefit of the proposed topology is to require only one secondary winding in the transformer for all the outputs. The proposed converter can charge two different kinds of batteries or same kind of batteries in different state of charges (SOCs) by CC/CV mode independently with the even degree of tight regulation, thereby satisfying the ripple requirements for each battery.

The push-pull current-fed DC-to-DC converter has only one energy storage reactor in series with the input for any number of outputs. It is considered that this property of the converter has considerable advantages over other multiple-output circuits. The steady state characteristics of the converter with two outputs is analyzed. It is known that the voltage difference between the two outputs appears by existing the 2nd winding resistance of transformer and there is a region of the duty ratio in which the voltage difference of the converter is smaller than that of the forward converter.

A single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) DC-DC converter providing buck and boost outputs with a new switching sequence is presented. In the proposed switching sequence, which does not require any additional blocks, input energy is delivered to outputs continuously by flowing current through the inductor, which leads to high conversion efficiency regardless of the balance between the buck and boost output loads. Furthermore, instead of multiple output loop compensation, only the freewheeling current feedback loop is compensated, which minimizes the number of off-chip components and nullifies the need for the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitor for loop compensation. Therefore, power conversion efficiency and output voltage ripples can be improved and minimized, respectively. Implemented in a 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS, the proposed SIMO DC-DC converter achieves high conversion efficiency regardless of the load balance between the two outputs with maximum efficiency reaching up to 82% under heavy loads.

본 논문은 ultra-wideband (UWB) 신호 획득 시의 검파 성능을 향상시키기 위해 여러 상관기 출력값을 결합하여 이용하는 2단계 검파 기법을 제안한다. UWB 신호 에너지는 다중경로 채널의 영향으로 여러 상관기 출력값에 걸쳐 흩어지게 되므로, 단일 상관기 출력값에는 전체 신호 에너지의 일부분만이 포함된다. 따라서 UWB 신호 검파를 위해 단일 상관기 출력값을 결정 변수로 사용하는 것은 검파 성능을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 2단계 검파 기법은 여러 상관기 출력값들을 결합하여 결정 변수로 이용함으로써 다중경로로 인해 흩어진 신호 에너지를 모아서 신호 검파에 사용할 수 있으므로 단일 상관기 출력값을 결정 변수로 이용하는 이제까지의 기법에 비해 더 나은 검파 성능을 갖는다. 다양한 UWB 채널 환경에서의 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안한 기법이 이제까지의 기법에 비해 더 좋은 검파 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

In Korea, deep-sea fishing industry is faced with pressure of being thrown out of business, because of the upcoming unfavorable business conditions such as the fishing regulation of coastal countries, Korea-US Free Trade Agreement(KORUS FTA), and the other socio-economic changes. Hence, we present an evaluation of future business competitive for the deep-sea fishing industry so that the government can develop a concession plan for the deep-sea fishing industry by utilizing the results of this study. In efficiency analysis of deep-sea fishing industry, the decision maker may have two problems: (1) how to deal with multiple inputs and outputs of deep-sea fishing industry and (2) how to assign the weights on different inputs and outputs, In this paper, we proposed to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiency of deep-sea fishing industry with multiple inputs and outputs. In the DEA, The direct impact of KORUS FTA, fishing regulation of coastal countries, fishing charges, and competitive fishing conditions were used as input parameters while the profitability and secured fishing quarters, as outputs. The results of DEA-BCC model indicate that 6 out of 12 DUMs have better efficiency under variable return to scale assumption.

Multiple output converters (MOCs) are widely used for applications which require various levels of the output voltages due to their benefits in cost, volume, and efficiency. However, most of the MOCs developed so far can regulate only one output tightly and require as many secondary windings in the transformer as the number of the outputs. In this paper, a novel Time Division Multiple Control (TDMC) method to regulate all the outputs in high precision is proposed and applied for the multiple output battery charger based on the phase shift full bridge topology to charge a multiple number of batteries at one time. The proposed converter can charge three different kinds of batteries or same kind of batteries in different state of charges (SOCs) by using constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charge mode independently. At the same time it can provide an even degree of tight regulation for each output to satisfy the strict ripple requirement of the battery. The validity and feasibility of the proposed method are verified through the experiments.

This paper proposes a highly power-efficient single-inductor multiple-outputs (SIMO) DC-DC converter with a gate charge sharing method in which gate charges of output switches are shared to improve the power efficiency and to reduce the switching power loss. The proposed converter was fabricated by using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process technology with high voltage devices of 5 V. The input voltage range of the converter is from 2.8 V to 4.2 V, which is based on a single cell lithium-ion battery, and the output voltages are 1.0 V, 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. Using the proposed gate charge sharing method, the maximum power efficiency is measured to be 87.2% at the total output current of 450 mA. The measured power efficiency improved by 2.1% compared with that of the SIMO DC-DC converter without the proposed gate charge sharing method.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) 신호 에너지는 다중경로 채널의 영향으로 인하여 여러 상관기 출력값에 흩어지게 되며 각 상관기 출력값은 전체 UWB 신호 에너지의 일부분만 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 다중 상관기 출력값들을 결합하여 결정 변수로 이용함으로써 다중경로 채널의 영향으로 인해 흩어진 신호 에너지를 모아, 인지 무선 통신 시스템에서 UWB 신호 검파에 이용하는 2단계 신호 검파 기법을 제안한다. 다양한 UWB 채널 환경에서의 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안한 기법은 기존 기법에 비해 약 0.6 dB 정도의 신호 검파 성능 이득이 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

A new LLC resonant converter with multiple outputs is proposed for high efficiency and low cost plasma display panel (PDP) power module. In the proposed converter, ZVS turn-on of the primary MOSFETs and ZCS nun-off of the secondary diodes are guaranteed in the overall input voltage and output load range. Moreover, the primary MOSFETs and the secondary diodes have low voltage stresses clamped to input and the output voltage, respectively. Therefore, the proposed converter shows the high efficiency due to the minimized switching and conduction losses. In addition, by employing the transformer, which has the two and more secondary side, the proposed converter can have multiple outputs and they show the great cross-regulation characteristics. As a result, the proposed converter can be implemented with low cost and compact size. The 500W prototype is implemented, which integrates the sustaining and addressing power supplies of PDP power module. The maximum efficiency is 96.8% and the respective output voltages are well regulated. Therefore, the proposed converter is suitable for high efficiency and low cost PDP power module.

A conventional pseudorandom sequence generator creates only 1 bit of data per clock cycle. Therefore, it may cause a delay in data communications. In this paper, we propose an efficient implementation method for a pseudorandom sequence generator with parallel outputs. By virtue of the simple matrix multiplications, we derive a well-organized recursive formula and realize a pseudorandom sequence generator with multiple outputs. Experimental results show that, although the total area of the proposed scheme is 3% to 13% larger than that of the existing scheme, our parallel architecture improves the throughput by 2, 4, and 6 times compared with the existing scheme based on a single output. In addition, we apply our approach to a $2{\times}2$ multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) detector targeting the 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP LTE) system. Therefore, the throughput of the MIMO detector is significantly enhanced by parallel processing of data communications.
