In this paper, the power factor correction circuit using a parallel drive method is proposed so that the high power inverter air-conditioner with 3[hp] compressor motor may obtain the cost down and the improved performance. The adequate design porcedures are presented to reduce the material costs by eliminating the power factor imprving LC filter and derating output capacitor and inverter switches. Using the determined components. the proto-type circuit with 6[kW] power consumption is built and tested to verify the operation of the proposed circuit.

In designing a resonant circuit of the inverter which puts induction heating with high frequency to the load, an inductance L of the circuit, the coupling coefficient of a transformer transfering the output power to load, and the coupling coefficient of load circuit heating with coil affect to the output power of a resonant circuit, the circuit Q and the frequency. Those characteristics of the circuit are analyzed through Thevenan's equivalent circuit of the coupling coefficient type which is derived from the T-type equivalent circuit of a transformer. On this equivalent circuit, the impedance of a transformer referred to its primary side is not only proportional the square of turn ratio, nZ, but also the square of coupling coefficient, K2 This paper proposed a more accurate fundamental method to design a resonant circuit of the inverter by using the Thevenan's equivalent circuit.

This paper presents a novel low power driving circuit for passive matrix organic lighting emitting diodes (OLED) displays. The proposed driving method for a low power OLED driving circuit which reduce large parasitic capacitance in OLED panel only use current driving method, instead of mixed mode driving method which uses voltage pre-charge technique. The driving circuit is implemented to one chip using 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process with 18V high voltage devices and it is applicable to 96(R.G.B)X64, 65K color OLED displays for mobile phone application. The maximum switching power dissipation of driving power dissipation is 5.7mW and it is 4% of that of the conventional driving circuit.

These days, the widespread use of sensitive loads and distributed generators makes the solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) an essential component in power circuits to achieve a high power quality for AC Grids. In traditional AC SSCB using SCRs, some auxiliary mechanical devices are required to make the reclosing operation possible before fault recovery. However, the proposed AC SSCB can break quickly and then be reclosed without auxiliary mechanical devices even during the short-circuit fault. Moreover, its fault current breaking time is short and its SSCB reclosing operation is fast. This results in a reduction of the economic losses due to fault currents and power outages. Through simulations and experiments on short-circuit faults, the performance characteristics of the proposed AC SSCB are verified. A design guideline is also suggested to apply the proposed AC SSCB to various AC grids.

In this paper, based on the developed dynamic model of a vacuum circuit breaker mechanism, the development of the new circuit breaker with less energy mechanism is focused. The energy flow analysis of the original mechanism is carried out to show where the elastic potential energies of pre-loaded springs are transmitted. Through energy flow analysis, the concept design of the new circuit breaker with less energy mechanism is proposed, and then the detailed design is carried out through the design process based on the verified dynamic model. Comparing simulation results with experiment using a high-speed camera, the appropriateness of the proposed design procedures for the rapid circuit breaker mechanism is shown.

This paper presents the design of a CMOS programmable slew rate operational amplifier based upon a newly proposed concept, that is a switched parallel current subtraction circuit with adaptive biasing technique. By utilizing the newly designed circuit, it was proven that slew rate was linearly controlled and power dissipation was optimized. If the programmable slew rate amplifier is employed into mixed signal system, it can furnish the convenience of timing control and optimized power dissipation. Simulated data showed the slew rate ranging from 5. 83V/$\mu$s to 41.4V/$\mu$s, power dissipation ranging from 1.13mW to 4.1mW, and the other circuit performance parameters were proven to be comparable with those of a conventional operational amplifier.

This paper presents a compact and low-power on-chip touch sensor and readout circuit using shunt proximity touch sensor and its design scheme. In the proposed touch sensor readout circuit, the touch panel condition depending on the proximity of the finger is directly converted into the corresponding voltage level without additional signal conditioning procedures. Furthermore, the additional circuitry including the comparator and the flip-flop does not consume any static current, which leads to a low-power design scheme. A new prototype touch sensor readout integrated circuit was fabricated using complementally metal oxide silicon (CMOS) $0.18{\mu}m$ technology with core area of $0.032mm^2$ and total current of $125{\mu}A$. Our measurement result shows that an actual 10.4 inches capacitive type touch screen panel (TSP) can detect the finger size from 0 to 1.52 mm, sharply.
