In this work, I propose a temperature stable voltage-to-frequency converter in which the output frequency is directly proportional to the input voltage. The output frequency range is from 20㎑ to 60㎑ and the difference between simulated and calculated values is less than about 5％ for this range of output frequency. The temperature variation of sample output frequencies is less than ${\pm}$0.5％ in the temperature range -25$^{\circ}C$ to 75$^{\circ}C$.

A DC/DC converter generally needs to work under high switching frequency when used as an adjustable power supply to reduce the size of magnetic elements such as inductors, transformers and capacitors, but with the rising of the switch frequency, the switch losses will increase and the efficiency will reduce. Recently, to solve these problems, research is actively being done on a soft switching method that can be applied under high frequency and on a PWM converter that can be applied under low frequency such as a multi-level topology. In this paper a novel DC-DC conversion method for reducing the ripple of output voltage is proposed. In the proposed converter, buck converters are connected in series to generate the output voltage. By using this method, the ripple of output voltage can be reduced compared to a conventional buck converter. Particularly when output voltage is low, the number of acting switching elements is less and the result of ripple reduction is more obvious. It is expected that the converter proposed in this paper could be very useful in the case of wide-range output voltage.

In this paper a three-phase ac-to-dc resonant converter with high input power factor and isolated output is proposed. To improve the input power factor of the converter, high frequency current is injected into the input of the three-phase diode bridge rectifier. It is injected through an impedance network consisting of a series of L-C branches from the output of the high frequency three-phase inverter. A narrow switching frequency variation is required to regulate the output voltage. A design example with different design curves is illustrated along with the component ratings. Experimental verification of the converter is performed on a prototype of 3 kW, 1000 V output, operating above 300 kHz. Experimental results confirm the concept of the proposed converter. Narrow switching frequency variation is required to regulate the output voltage.

A Transcutaneous Energy Transmission System (TET) has been developed for the wireless energy transmission with two magnetically coupled coils. A resonance circuit is used to raise the induced voltage and current of the secondary coil. Its resonance frequency depends on the internal resistance of circuit and the transferred energy. Because the transferred energy usually changes in wide range, the output voltage is unstable and the energy transferring efficiency decrease. A push-pull class E amplifier is usedto generate high frequency AC voltage. To maintain proper resonance frequency, the voltage output of the amplifier was continuously monitored and adjusted to the optimized resonance frequency. Because of its high frequency (370 kHz), a phase lockedloop circuit and a comparator are used to monitor the output waveform. The results of experimentaldata show that the PLL circuit can increase the transmission efficiency and stabilize the output voltage of TET.

본 논문은 루프필터 전압 감지기와 주파수 전압 변환기를 이용하여 잡음 특성을 개선한 위상고정루프의 구조를 제안한다. 루프 필터 전압 변화는 저항과 커패시턴스로 구성된 회로에 의해서 출력이 결정된다. 시정수 값이 작은 회로를 지나는 신호는 루프 필터의 평균 출력 전압과 거의 같은 값을 가진다. 시정수 값이 큰 회로를 지나는 신호는 루프 필터 평균 출력 값을 가지며, 추가된 루프필터 전압 감지기에서 기준 신호가 된다. 루프필터 전압 감지기 출력은 보조 전하펌프의 전류 크기를 제어한다. 루프 필터 출력 전압이 상승하면 루프필터 전압 감지기는 루프 필터 출력 전압을 하강하게 하고, 또는 루프 필터 출력 전압이 하강하면 루프필터 전압 감지기는 루프 필터 출력 전압을 상승하게 한다. 또한 주파수 전압 변환기도 필터 출력 전압 변동 폭을 줄여주어 제안된 위상고정루프의 잡음 특성을 개선해준다. 제안된 위상고정루프는 1.8V 0.18㎛ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 0.854ps 지터와 30㎲ 위상 고정 시간을 보여준다.

A personal low-frequency stimulator is a portable device to relax muscle pains of a person. The stimulator generates combined low-frequency pulses to be applied to pads attached to painful muscles. This paper reports a development of such device with its characteristic analyses. The major components of our stimulator are MCU, high-voltage generating circuit part, high-voltage switching circuit part, input switch part and display unit. High-voltage generating circuit is designed by using a boost converter circuit and allows user control of the output voltage. High-voltage switching circuit, controlled by MCU, generates output voltage to be applied to pads. Input switch part is composed of power supply, intensity selection, mode selection and memory. Display unit adopts a text LCD module to display modes, Intensity, output frequency and user set-up time. Our designed safety circuit, to protect human body from possible electric shock, slowly increases the output voltage to the selected output intensity. It continuously checks the output pulse shape and disable the output when dangerous pulses are detected. This paper also shows some experimental results.

In this paper, the cost-effective design of output reactor which is used to suppress the over-voltage at the motor terminal in the Adjustable Speed Drives(ASD) application is proposed. In the elevator drive system, the power cable length is relatively shorter than other ASD applications and then the over-voltage at the motor terminal depends on the frequency characteristics of the output reactor at the over-voltage operating frequency. The over-voltage suppression mechanism of output reactor in ASD application is analyzed and the dominant parameters of output reactor for the over-voltage suppression are extracted. Using these parameters as the design values and considering the high frequency characteristics of iron core in the reactor, a new cost-effective structure of output reactor is proposed. Experimental results of the conventional reactor and the proposed reactor with a 15kW induction motor are given to verify the proposed scheme.

This paper derives a condition foe constant voltage i constant frequency generation of doubly-fed induction generator. The condition is varied by the magnitude of output voltage, load current and its power factor, slip of the machine. Magnitude of output voltage is controlled by exiting voltage which is caculated by derived equation from operating condition. frequency of output voltage is controlled by injecting slip frequency to the rotor which is the difference between wanted output frequency and rotor frequency.

Vibration energy harvesting is an attractive technique for potential powering of low power devices such as wireless sensors and portable electronic applications. Most energy generator developed to date are single vibration frequency based, and while some efforts have been made to broaden the frequency range of energy harvester. In this work, The effect of energy harvesting were investigated at various vibration frequencies, vibration beams, vibration point and test masses. The maximum output voltage of the bimorph piezoelectric cantilever was shifted according to vibration point. Vibration frequency with maximum output voltage decreased with the increasing length of vibration beam and increasing test mass. The sample with vibration beam length 0.5 L generated a peak output voltage of 32 $V_{rms}$ and shows a 45 % increase in voltage output in comparison to the corresponding original bimorph. It was found that a piezoelectric bimorph has a possibility to be as the energy harvesting cantilever, which is successfully tuned over a vibration frequency range to enable a maximum harvesting energy.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 공정을 이용하여 동작온도에 무관한 FVC(Frequency-to-Voltage Convener) 회로를 제안한다. FVC는 FLL(Frequency Locked Loop)의 핵심 회로로서 주파수 신호를 전압신호로 변환하는 회로이다. FLL 회로는 PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) 회로 같이 고정된 주파수 신호를 생성하는 회로지만, PLL과는 달리 위상비교기, charge pump, 저역 필터 등이 필요치 않아 간단히 회로를 구성할 수 있다. FVC 회로의 설계는 $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하였다. 설계되어진 회로의 입력 주파수는 70MHz에서 140MHz를 사용하였다. 회로의 시뮬레이션 결과 동작 온도가 $0^{\circ}C$에서 $75^{\circ}C$까지 변화할 때 변환된 출력 전압의 변화는 상온에 비하여 ${\pm}2%$이내였다.
