The induction heating is widely used not only in the industrial fields but also in the home appliances. But the conventional induction heating systems have shortcoming that it use only magnetic utensil, in this paper, heating of Aluminum sheet by full-bridge series resonant high-frequency inverter is proposed. Also, the principle of induction heating and operations of full-bridge inverter equivalent circuit are explained. The proposed inverter controls the output voltage using phase-shift irrespective of the switching frequency using phase-shift. As a result the proposed induction heating system by full-bridge resonant inverter shows the possibility that make up for the shortcoming of the conventional existing induction heating systems.

This paper proposes a modified converter topology from the existing loaded resonant converter and describe the development of 10kW(50~500V, 0~ 50A) DC/DC Converter using the proposed topology. The suggested converter, which revised the topology of the converter operating on the CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode) (above resonance), has the advantage of enhancing the efficiency of rated load operation by rapidly increasing the primary side resonant current and by improving the resonance current in a trapezoid shape. The proposed topology is described with analysis of operating mode and designed using PSpice simulation and the points on design to consider when implementing the topology are described. It is verified that the advantages of the proposed topology centered on rated load are effectively highlighted. Experimental results carried out at different condition and its results shows 98.5% efficiency at full load condition.

Electrical railway system consists of rolling stock, track, signal and streetcar line system. Track circuit system is a vital system due to checking the location of trains. Track circuits are divided by using frequency and isolated electrically. Currently, there is not a regulation for the distance between track circuits using identical frequency. In case of installing additional track circuits in large stations or marshalling yard, the problem which is that the signal is not exactly transmitted to the track circuit occurs due to the mutual interference. In other words, the track circuit properly is not operated on account of wrong induction current by the mutual inductance between track circuits. In this paper, we suggest the electrical model between track circuits and numerically calculate demanded parameters in electrical model. The distance between track circuits satisfying the mutual inductance which does not happen to the mutual interference phenomenon is presented about the distance of track circuit. It is proved by using Matlab and PSpice program as the amplitude of mutual induced current.

A simple resistance deviation-to-time period converter is proposed for interfacing resistive half-bridge sensors. It consists of two 2nd generation current conveyors(CCIIs). The proposed converter has simpler circuit configuration than the conventional converters using operational amplifiers or operational transconductance amplifiers(OTAs). The proposed converter was simulated using CCII implemented with AD844 IC chips. The simulation results show that the converter has a conversion sensitivity of $0.01934ms/{\Omega}$ over a range of $100-500{\Omega}$ resistance deviations and a linearity error less than ${\pm}0.002%$.

Nowadays, the IoT portable electronic devices have become more useful and diverse, so they require various supply voltage levels to operate. This paper presents a DC-DC buck converter with pulse width modulation (PWM) for portable electronic devices. The proposed step-down DC-DC converter consists of passive elements such as capacitors, inductors, and resistors and an integrated chip (IC) for signal control to reduce power consumption and improves ripple voltage with the resolution. The proposed DC-DC converter is simulated and analyzed in PSPICE circuit design platform, and implemented on the prototype PCB board with a Texas Instruments LM5165 IC. The proposed buck converter is showed 92.6% of peak efficiency including a load current range of 4-10 mA, 3.29 mV of the voltage ripple at 5 V output voltage for the supply voltage 12 V. Measured and Simulated power efficiency are made good agreement with each other.

This paper describes the design of a power cell-based pulsed power modulator with fast rise times. The pulse-generating section of the pulse power modulator is a series stack of power cells. Each power cell is composed of a storage capacitor, a pulse switch, and a bypass diode. When the pulse switches are turned on, the capacitors are connected in series and the sum of voltages is applied to the load. For output pulses with fast rise times, an IGBT with fast turn-on characteristics is adopted as a pulse switch and the optimized gate driving method is used. Pspice simulation is performed to account for the gate driving method. A 10 kV, 12-power cell-based pulsed power modulator is tested under resistive load and plasma reactor load. The rise times of output pulses less than 20 ns are confirmed, showing that the pulsed power modulator can be effectively applied to pulsed power applications with fast rise times.

We propose the modeling methodology of CMOS inverter made of LTPO TFT using a machine learning. LTPO can achieve advantages of LTPS TFT with high electron mobility as a driving TFT and IGZO TFT with low off-current as a switching TFT. However, since the unified model of both LTPS and IGZO TFTs is still lacking, it is necessary to develop a SPICE-compatible compact model to simulate the LTPO current-voltage characteristics. In this work, a generic framework for combining the existing formula of I-V characteristics with artificial neural network is presented. The weight and bias values of ANN for LTPS and IGZO TFTs is obtained and implemented into PSPICE circuit simulator to predict CMOS inverter. This methodology enables efficient modeling for predicting LTPO TFT circuit characteristics.

A novel inductance simulation circuit employing only two dual-output voltage-differencing buffered amplifiers (DO-VDBAs) and a single capacitance (grounded) is proposed in this paper. The reported configuration is a purely resistor-less realization that provides electronically controllable realized inductance through biasing quantities of DO-VDBAs and does not rely on any constraints related to matched values of parameters. This structure exhibits excellent behavior under the influence of tracking errors in DO-VDBAs and does not exhibit instability at high frequencies. The simple and compact metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) implementation of the DO-VDBAs (eight MOS per DO-VDBA) and adoption of grounded capacitance make the proposed circuit suitable for on-chip realization from the perspective of chip area consumption. The function of the pure grounded inductance is validated through high pass/bandpass filtering applications. To test the proposed design, simulations were performed in the PSPICE environment. Experimental validation was also conducted using the integrated circuit CA3080 and operational amplifier LF-356.

It is becoming more difficult to improve the device operating speed by shrinking the size of semiconductor devices. Therefore, for a new leap forward in the semiconductor industry, the advent of silicon opto-electronic devices, i.e., silicon photonics is more desperate. Silicon Avalanche LED is one of the prospective candidates to realize the practical silicon opto-electronic devices due to its simplicity of fabrication, repeatability, stability, high speed operation, and compatibility with silicon IC processing. We conducted the measurement of the electrical characteristics and the observation of the light-emitting phenomena using optical microscopy. We analyzed the influence of the design elements such as the shape of the light-emitting area and the depth of the $n^{+}-p^{+}$ junction with simple device modeling and simulation. We compared the results of simulation and the measurement and explained the discrepancy between the results of the simulation and the measurement, and the suggestions for the improvement were given.
