In the conventional E-bike, a 42 V/10 A Li-ion battery drives a 24 V/10 A BLDC motor via a 6-switch PWM DC/AC inverter. The major problems of the conventional battery-fed motor drive systems are listed as follows. To charge the battery, an external battery charger (adapter) is required, which degrades the portability of E-bike users. In addition, given the high-frequency operation of the motor drive inverter, the switching losses are significant, which degrades the whole power efficiency. High-voltage batteries (42 V) require a complex battery management system (BMS), which degrades the reliability of the battery pack. In this paper, an embedded boost-converter battery charger for E-bikes is proposed. The variable output boost converter, which converts 16.8 V battery voltage to the required variable voltage of the inverter input, can use a low-voltage battery and thus improve the reliability of batteries. By varying the inverter input voltage via boost converter, a DC link voltage control method can be applied to reduce the switching frequency of the inverter, which improves the whole power efficiency. Given that the function of a flyback charger is integrated in the proposed boost converter, the portability of the E-bike user can be maximized by excluding an external adapter. The validity of the proposed circuit will be confirmed by operation mode analysis and simulation. Moreover, experimental results of integrative charger using Li-ion battery and 200 W motor test will be showed with a prototype sample as well.

본 논문에서는 universal line 입력 및 전 부하영역에서 영전압 스위칭(Zero Voltage Switching) 보장을 통한 500kHz 고 주파수 구동의 Dual Mode control LLC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안 회로는 전 부하영역에서의 ZVS(영전압 스위칭)보장으로 고주파 구동이 가능하여 전원회로의 부피 중 상당량을 차지하는 수동소자의 부피를 대폭 저감 할 수 있다. 또한, 소용량 전원회로는 PFC(Power Factor Correction)의 규제가 없기 때문에 universal line 입력에 대응이 가능해야하므로, 제안회로는 변화하는 입력전압과 출력전류에 따라 PFM과 PWM의 두 가지 모드로 동작하여 universal line 입력 및 전 부하 영역에서 정확한 출력전압 제어가 가능하다. 최종적으로 제안 회로의 타당성 검증을 위하여 60W급 adapter의 전원회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하여 고찰된 실험 결과를 제시한다.

As the 4th industrial age approaches, the demand for semiconductors is increasing enough to be used in all electronic devices. At the same time, semiconductor technology is also developing day by day, leading to ultraprecision and low power consumption. Semiconductors that keep getting smaller generate heat because the energy density increases, and the generated heat changes the shape of the semiconductor package, so it is important to manage. The temperature change is not only self-heating of the semiconductor package, but also heat generated by external damage. If the package is deformed, it is necessary to manage it because functional problems and performance degradation such as damage occur. The package burn in test in the post-process of semiconductor production is a process that tests the durability and function of the package in a high-temperature environment, and heat dissipation performance can be evaluated. In this paper, we intend to review a new material formulation that can improve the performance of the adapter, which is one of the parts of the test socket used in the burn-in test. It was confirmed what characteristics the basic base showed when polyamide, a high-molecular material, and alumina, which had high thermal conductivity, were mixed for each magnification. In this study, functional evaluation was also carried out by injecting an adapter, a part of the test socket, at the same time as the specimen was manufactured. Verification of stiffness such as tensile strength and flexural strength by mixing ratio, performance evaluation such as thermal conductivity, and manufacturing of a dummy device also confirmed warpage. As a result, it was confirmed that the thermal stability was excellent. Through this study, it is thought that it can be used as basic data for the development of materials for burn-in sockets in the future.

In this study, calibration procedure of power assembly tools is suggested and methods are developed for calculating measurement uncertainty. Fist of all, the calibration of joint simulator bench (JSB) was carried out for maintaining traceability and the uncertainty components of JSB were analyzed. The influences of tool speed, tolerance, temperature and length of the adapter were examined by the torque measurement values through experiments. From this research, credibility for calibration results could be enhanced. This experimental results, being used as an effective tool for calibration of power assembly tools, will provide and improve the accuracy of the use of the power assembly tools.

To verify correct operation of measuring instruments, we request the verification of measuring instrument to the agency that holds inspection devices. This works requires time and cost to the company. For this reason. We proposed "Smart Network Interface Card Model" for remote control of measuring instruments. Our model based on Web adapter, can add, delete and change the program to an existing web adapter from remote system. Furthermore, more than one program can be loaded, and can be updated from the remote system of internet. And also we can change the verification requirement of measuring instrument, hence it makes more good quality and competitive power of instruments.

Tubing adapter is a key connection device in Gas-Tight Deep-Sea Water Sampler (GTWS). The sealing performance of the tubing adapter directly affects the GTWS's overall gas tightness. Tubing adapters with good sealing performance can ensure the transmission of seawater samples without gas leakage and can be repeatedly used. However, the sealing performance of tubing adapters made of different materials was not studied sufficiently. With the research discussed in this paper, the materials match schemes of the tubing adapters were proposed. With non-linear finite element contact analysis and sea trials in the South China Sea, it is expected that the recommended materials match schemes not only meet the requirements of tubing adapters' sealing performance but also provide the feasible options for the following research on tubing adapters in GTWS.

핸드폰, 노트북 빛 태블릿 PC와 같이 휴대할 수 있는 전자기기의 사용량이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 필요로 하게 된다. 배터리 사양이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 빠르게 충전시키는 어댑터 (Adapter)는 필수 요구 사항이 되었다. 고속 충전을 하기 위해선 높은 전류 공급 능력이 필요하며, 휴대성을 높이기 위해서 사이즈를 최소화하여 설계되어야 한다. 고효율 및 고밀도를 요구하는 시장에 걸맞게, 어댑터 시장 역시 Topology부터 사용 소자까지 많은 발전 중에 있다. 어댑터에 사용되는 대표적인 Topology는 절연에 용이하며 회로구조가 간단한 저비용, 고효율 Flyback Converter 회로가 기본적으로 사용된다. 하지만, 이 구조는 스위칭 주기마다 스위치 양단 전압 및 전류의 중첩에 의한 스위칭 손실이 불가피 하다는 단점이 존재한다. 그 단점을 보완하기 위해 RCD 스너버로 클램핑을 시켜줌과 동시에 변압기의 자화 인덕턴스와 스위치의 기생 커패시터의 공진 현상을 이용하여 스위치 양단 전압 V_DS가 최소화되는 지점에서 다음 스위칭 동작을 수행하는 QR(Quasi-Resonant) Flyback Converter를 사용한 어댑터가 시장에서 주로 보였다. 하지만 QR Flyback Converter 역시 기존 방식보다 유리하지만 이 또한 스위칭 주파수 증가에 따른 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 현재는 영전압 스위칭 (Zero Voltage Switching, ZVS)이 가능한 ACF(Active Clamp Flyback) Converter 회로의 연구 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이때 스위칭 특성이 우수한 GaN-FET를 적용한 어댑터가 시장에 출시되고 있다. 특히, 이 시장에서는 GaN 소자를 적용한 어댑터를 차세대 전력 반도체 적용이라는 마케팅에도 이용되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
