A stereo audio digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a power amplifier using asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is presented. To adopt class-D amplifier mainly used in high-power audio appliances for head-phones application, this work analyzes the noise caused by the inter-channel interference during the integration and optimizes the design of the sigma-delta modulator to decrease the performance degradation caused by the noise. The asymmetric PWM is implemented to reduce switching noise and power loss generated from the power amplifier. This proposed architecture is fabricated in 0.13-mm CMOS technology. The proposed audio DAC including the power amplifier with single-ended output achieves a dynamic range (DR) of 95-dB dissipating 4.4-mW.

This paper describes the performance comparison results for a hybrid back-to-back converter, which is composed of a 3-level 24-pulse converter and a 3-level PWM converter, in order to interconnect a large scale wind farm with the power grid. Also it describes the performance comparison results when the 24-pulse converter operates in only firing-angle control, and both firing-angle and the zero-voltage control. For the purpose of systematic performance comparison, computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software were carried out, and based on simulation results a scaled hardware model with 2 kVA rating was built and tested.

PWM control is a kind of nonlinear control. The merits of PWM control of hydraulic equipment are the robustness of the high speed on-off valve and its low price. And it is easily implemented to hydraulic equipments with microcomputer. The high speed on-off valve is directly digitally controlled without any D/A converter. The objectives of this study is to analyze the limit cycle which regularly appear in the position control system using high speed on-off valve, and to give a criterion for the stability of this system. To do this, the nonlinear characteristics of PWM and cylinder friction of this system are described by harmonic linearization and the effects of parameter variations to the system stability are examined theoretically and experimentally. Consequently, the availability of the proposed method is confirmed well.

In this paper, a new two-phase space vector RPWM(Random PWM) is proposed. In the proposed RPWM, each of two-phase PWM pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Based on the space vector modulation technique, the duty ratio of the pulses is calculated. Along with the randomization of the PWM pulses, we can obtain the effects of spread spectra of inverter output voltage, d.c link current and audible switching acoustic noise as in the case of randomly changed switching frequency. To verify the validity of the proposed two-phase RPWM scheme, the experiment based on the C167 micro-controller was executed. The performance of the proposed scheme was compared with traditional PWM schemes experimentally.

This paper proposes a common-mode voltage reduction method base on SVPWM(Space-Vector Pulsewidth Modulation) in three phase PWM converter/inverter system. By shifting the active voltage vector of inverter and aligning this to the active vector of converter, it is possible to eliminate a common-mode voltage pulse in one control period. Since the proposed PWM method maintains the active voltage vector, it does not affect the control performance of PWM converter/inverter system. Without any extra hardware, overall common mode voltage dv/dt and conrresponding leakage current can be reduced to two-third of the conventional three phase symmetric SVPWM scheme.

Square-wave current source inverter drives suffer from torque pulsation and speed variation at low speed. Attempts to minimize these problems, CSI PWM strategies have been reported. It is shown that these PWM strategies are based on unnecessarily restrictive modulation laws. In this paper, trapezoidal PWM strategy for CSI is investigated theoratically by double fourier series and we proposed Harmonic Speed ripple Factor(HSF) that is independent of motor parameters and load conditions. Speed ripple are considered in T-PWM and square wave inverter by HSF. We obtain modulation index(M) and carrier ratio (CR) for minimum speed ripple.

In this work, temperature stable pulse width modulation controller using bandgap reference voltage is proposed. Two bandgap reference voltages are designed by using BiCMOS technology which are temperature dependent and independent voltage references. PWM controller is designed by using 3.3 volt supply voltage and the output frequency is 1MHz. From simulation results, the variation of output pulse width is less than form +0.86% to -0.38% in the temperature range $0^{\circ}C\;to\;70^{\circ}C$.

This study carried out an experiment to identify subject's work effectiveness and energy saving effect using LED light. Towards this end, this study configured nine various lighting environments in order to control PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and illuminance (lux), which are the characteristics of LED light. The PWM ratio of LED light was set as R:G:B=1:1:1, R:G:B=4:1:5, and R:G:B=8:7:7, respectively, and illuminance (lux) was set as 400 lx, 700 lx, and 1000 lx, respectively. In addition, the indoor environment was set temperature $20-24^{\circ}C$, humidity 50%-60%, and the amount of clothing 1. This study analyzed work effectiveness and energy consumption in nine lighting environments, each. Error correction was performed for work effectiveness analysis, and cumulative power consumption was measured in each lighting environment for energy consumption analysis. According to experiment results through the lighting environments suggested in this study, accuracy and spent time effectiveness were good in 700lux and higher than 400lux. For spent time, the best effectiveness was revealed in the suggested PWM ratio, R:G:B=8:7:7. The lowest power consumption on each illuminance (lux) was revealed in the order of R:G:B=8:7:7, RGB=1:1:1, and R:G:B=4:1:5. Therefore, pulse-width modulation effect is proposed in this paper was found to affect the efficiency and energy saving.

최근 고 에너지 저장 및 발생장치의 개발은 군사용에서 산업용으로 응용되면서 각종 첨단 설비가 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전자빔 발생기로 쓰이는 Gyroklystron용 대전력, 고전압, 전류 펄스 전원장치로 입력부, 특고압 발생부, 고압 정류부 및 IGBT 펄스 스위치 구성하고 그 설계 및 개발 자료에 대하여 기술하였다. 대전력 고전압 전류펄스 전원장치를 위한 각 구성 부분의 제어 및 설계 특징은 다음과 같다. 입력부인 IGBT Inverter는 펄스 전원장치의 제어를 위하여 출력 고전압을 Feedbark System에 의해 펄스 설정 전압을 유지하도록 제어하며, 또한 펄스 출력중에 직류 고전압부의 전압강하, 즉 펄스 진압의 Drop이 커지는 것을 방지하기 위하여 Fast Dynamics를 갖도록 Feedback System을 구성하였다. 단상 특고압 승압용 변압기 3대를 직렬접속한 특고압 발생부는 PWM 제어된 전압을 입력받아 특고압으로 승압시키며 고압 펄스성 전압과 매우 높은 dV/dt 전압이 인가되므로 Stray Capacitance가 최소가 되어야 하며 절연파괴로부터 보호될 수 있어야 한다. 고압 정류부는 Inverter와 특고압 변압기에 의하여 전원이 공급되므로 교류전압의 교번 순간에 매우 높은 전압변동률을 가지는 Fast Recovery High Voltage Rectifier로 설계 제작되어졌다. 펄스 스위치인 IGBT 스위치는 Gate Driver에 의해 구동되어 지며 주어진 펄스 사양을 만족시키게 된다. 특히 소자의 전압특성을 고려하여 120KV의 전압 값을 갖도록 설계, 제작하였다.
