본 논문에서는 PMOLED(passive matrix organic light emitting diodes) 데이터 구동회로의 전류 편차를 보상하는 새로운 구조의 회로를 제안한다. 일반적인 PMOLED 데이터 구동 회로의 경우 MOS(metal oxide semiconductor) 공정 변화에 의해서 발생하는 데이터 구동 회로 출력단의 전류 편차는 보상 할 수 없으나, 제안된 데이터 구동회로는 출력단의 전류 편차를 보상하여 균일한 값의 전류를 OLED 패널(panel)에 인가 할 수 있다. 제안하는 회로는 종래의 데이터 출력 회로에 스위칭 트랜지스터를 추가하여 데이터 출력 전류용 회로를 공통 연결선에 연결함으로써 공정 변화에 의한 출력 전류의 편차를 최소화 할 수 있다. 제안한 회로는 $128(RGB){\times}128$의 해상도를 지원하는 PMOLED 패널을 기준으로 설계 하였고, 구동 회로 개발에 이용된 공정은 0.35um이다. 실험 결과 제안한 데이터 구동회로의 출력 전류는 1%대의 오차를 갖는 반면, 종래의 데이터 구동회로의 경우 출력 전류는 9% 대로 심한 변화를 나타내었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 PMOLED 데이터 구동회로를 이용할 경우 고화질의 OLED 디스플레이 구현이 가능하여 고 품위의 디스플레이 특성을 요구하는 휴대용 디스플레이 기기에 적용 할 수 있다.

게이트 전류 감지 구조는 LDO 레귤레이터가 오버슈트 또는 언더슈트 상황 발생 시 출력전압의 레귤레이션을 보다 효과적으로 제어하기 위해 제안되었다. 기존의 전형적인 LDO 레귤레이터는 부하전류가 변화할 때 레귤레이션 전압 변화가 발생한다. 하지만 게이트 전류 감지 구조를 이용하여 패스 트랜지스터에 있는 게이트 단자 전류를 공급/방전 함으로 인해 패스 트랜지스터의 동작 속도를 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 게이트 전류 감지 구조를 이용한 LDO 레귤레이터의 입력전압은 3.3 V ~ 4.5 V 이며 출력 전압은 3 V이고 부하 전류는 최대 250 mA의 값을 갖는다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 부하 전류가 250 mA 까지 변화할 때 약 9 mV의 전압 변화 값을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a mode transition algorithm between the grid-tied and the stand-alone operations for the single-phase inverter with the energy storage system. For the grid-tied operation, the dc-link voltage and the output current are required to be control. For the stand-alone mode, both the output voltage and the output current should be regulated. In order to mitigate a falling-off in control performance during transients in mode change, the load power estimation and the current selection schemes are proposed. The proposed method allows an optimized current reference is selected to reduce an output voltage drop and an excessive over-current in transient. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, both the simulation and the experiments for a 3kW single-phase inverter with the energy storage system have been conducted. From the results, it has been confirmed that the proposed method reduces a transient error as well as implementing smooth mode transition.

For lighting application, high-power LED nowadays is driven at 350mA and a sensing resistor is used to provide feedback for LED-current regulation. This method adds an IR drop at the output branch, and limits power efficiency as LED current is large and keeps increasing. In this paper, a power efficient LED-current sensing circuit is proposed. The circuit does not use any sensing resistor but extracts LED-current information from the output capacitor of the driver. Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. In one case, the converter may need to step down the input voltage, and, in another, it may need to boost up the output voltage. These situations often arise in applications with wide-ranging ""dirty"" input power sources, such as automotive systems. And, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to forward bias the LEDs. So, to provide this requirements, 13W prototype Buck-Boost Converter is used.

In this paper, an exciter current control of a synchronous generator for ships using a compound type digital automatic voltage regulator (DVAR) in order to provide a constant output voltage of the generator is presented. The compound type DAVR is composed of a controller part to adjust output voltage and an power source unit to supply power to the exciter. The controller part, which generates the PWM switching pattern via the PI controller, drives a power MOSFET for bypass to limit the SG's exciter current. The power source unit part is parallel connected to an output terminal of the generator through a reactor and a power CT. The residual magnetic flux of SG provides exciter current to the exciter through the reactor during the initial running or no load state and load current supplies field current to the exciter through the power CT during loading state. This paper confirmed an experiment to verify the validity of compound type DAVR system for controlling output voltage of synchronous generator.

The modified sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) is one of the PWM techniques used in three-phase AC-DC buck converters. The modified SPWM works without the current sensor (the converter is current sensorless), improves production of sinusoidal AC current, enables obtainment of near-unity power factor, and controls output voltage through modulation gain (ranging from 0 to 1). The main problem of the modified SPWM is the huge starting current and voltage (during transient) that results from a large step change from the reference voltage. When the load changes, the output voltage significantly drops (through switching losses and non-ideal converter elements). The single-input single-output (SISO) approach with minor-loop voltage feedback controller presented here overcomes this problem. This approach is created on a theoretical linear model and verified by discrete-model simulation on MATLAB/Simulink. The capability and effectiveness of the SISO approach in compensating start-up current/voltage and in achieving zero steady-state error were tested for transient cases with step-changed load and step-changed reference voltage for linear and non-linear loads. Tests were done to analyze the transient performance against various controller gains. An experiment prototype was also developed for verification.

고속 데이터 전송이 가능한 장점 때문에 OFDM 통신 방식은 4세대 통신 방식으로 주목 받고 있다. OFDM은 이러한 고속 무선 데이터 통신을 구현하기 위해서는 고성능의 FFT(Fast-Fourier-Transform) / IFFT(Inversion FFT) 프로세서를 필요로 한다. 현재 OFDM은 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)로 구현되고 있지만 많은 전력 소모의 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 Current-mode FFT LSI가 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 저전력 OFDM용 IVC(Current to Voltage Converter)를 설계한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 설계된 IVC는 FFT Block의 출력이 $7.35{\mu}A$ 이상일 때 3V 이상의 전압을 출력하고, FFT Block의 출력이 $0.97{\mu}A$ 이하일 때 0.5V 이하의 전압을 출력하였다. 설계된 IVC로 저전력 Current-mode FFT LSI의 동작이 가능하게 되며, 전류모드신호처리는 차세대 무선 통신 시스템의 발전에 기여할 것이다.

This work presents a high efficiency phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter for use in the second stage of a battery charger for neighborhood electrical vehicle (EV) applications. In the design of the converter, Lithium-ion battery cells are preferred due to their high voltage and current rates, which provide a high power density. This requires wide range output voltage regulation for PSFB converter operation. In addition, the battery charger works with a light load when the battery charge voltage reaches its maximum value. The soft switching of the PSFB converter depends on the dead time optimization and load condition. As a result, the converter has to work with soft switching at a wide range output voltage and under light conditions to reach high efficiency. The operation principles of the PSFB converter for the continuous current mode (CCM) and the discontinuous current mode (DCM) are defined. The performance of the PSFB converter is analyzed in detail based on wide range output voltage and load conditions in terms of high efficiency. In order to validate performance analysis, a prototype is built with 42-54 V / 15 A output values at a 200 kHz switching frequency. The measured maximum efficiency values are obtained as 94.4% and 76.6% at full and at 2% load conditions, respectively.

In this paper, 11 and 13 layered step-down piezoelectric transformers were fabricated and their electrical characteristics have been analyzed for AC-adapter. When the voltage is applied to the driving piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the longitudinal direction, the output voltage is generated at the generating piezoelectric vibrator polarized in the thickness direction due to the piezoelectric effects. From the piezoelectric direct and converse effects, symbolic expressions between the electric inputs and outputs of the step-down piezoelectric transformer are derived with an equivalent circuit model. With those expressions, load and frequency characteristics are discussed through the simulations. Output voltage and current from a 11-layered and a 13-layered piezoelectric transformers were measured under the different load and frequency conditions. First we measured resonant frequency from impedance curve and got equivalent impedance value of the piezoelectric transformer from admittance plot. It was shown from experiments that output voltage increase s and resonant frequency changes according to the various resistor loads. Output current decreases inversely proportional to the change of loads. Moreover, the measured output voltage and current are well matched with the simulated results obtained from the proposed equivalent circuit model. Furthermore, a new step-down piezoelectric transformer has been suggested to Increase the output power based on a simulation result having a driving piezoelectric vibrator polarized thickness direction.

This paper presents an interleaved active-clamping zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) forward-flyback converter without an output choke. The presented topology has two active-clamping circuits with two separated transformers. Because of the interleaved operation of the converter, the output current ripple will be reduced. The proposed converter can approximately share the total load current between the two secondaries. Therefore, the transformer copper loss and the rectifier diodes conduction loss can be decreased. The output capacitor is made of two series capacitors which reduces the peak reverse voltage of the rectifier diodes. The circuit has no output inductor and few semiconductor elements, such that the adopted circuit has a simpler structure, a lower cost and is suitable for high power density applications. A detailed analysis and the design of this new converter are described. A prototype converter has been implemented and experimental results have been recorded with an ac input voltage of 85-135Vrms, an output voltage of 12V and an output current of 16A.
