This paper deals with implementation of inverter systems for DC power regeneration, which can regenerate the excessive DC power from DC bus line to AC supply in substations for traction systems. From the viewpoint of both power capacity and switching losses, a three-phase square-wave inverter system is adopted. To control the regenerated power, the magnitude and phase of fundamental output voltages should be appropriately controlled in spite of the variation of input DC voltage. Inverters are operated with modified a-conduction mode to fix the potential of each arm. The overall system consists of the line-to-line voltage and line current sensors, an actual power calculator using d-q transformation method, a complex power controller with PI control scheme, a gating signal generator for modified $\alpha-conduction\;mode\;with\;\delta\;and\;\alpha$, a DPLL for frequency followup, and power circuit.

최근 많은 임베디드 시스템에서 통신이나 멀티미디어의 다양한 표준을 지원해야 하는 요구가 끊이지 않고 있다. 그러나 현실적으로 임베디드 시스템에서 요구하는 만큼의 표준이나 프로토콜을 위한 별개의 가속 IP들을 갖는 것은 불가능할 뿐만 아니라 상당히 힘든 작업이다. 그러므로 다양한 표준을 지원할 수 있는 가속 IP를 개발하는 것은 위와 같은 현재의 임베디드 시스템에서 요구하는 트렌드에 있어 중요하다 할 수 있다. 다양한 기능을 수행하는 하드웨어는 일반적으로 실행 환경이나 시스템 설정에 따라 다양한 기능들을 지원하기 위하여 동적으로 즉, 실행시간에 재구성 가능한 DSP를 사용하고 있다. 그러나 하나의 IP가 다양한 기능을 수행시키기 위해서는 필수불가결적으로 추가적인 면적을 차지하거나 추가적인 전력소모가 따른다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 동적으로 재구성 가능한 하드웨어의 파워 소모를 줄이기 위해 정교한 클럭 게이팅을 사용하였고 또한 동적으로 재구성 가능한 하드웨어의 면적을 줄이기 위해 배럴 시프터(barrel shifter)를 이용한 곱셈기를 사용하여 메모리의 계수(Coefficient) 부분을 압축을 통해 메모리의 면적을 줄였다. 실행시간에 재구성 가능한 IP는 유사하지만 다른 기능들을 효과적으로 수행하기 때문에 이런 다기능 재구성 가능한 DSP IP의 전력소모를 성능에 영향 없이 줄이는 것은 상당히 난해한 일이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 정교한 클럭 게이팅은 동적으로 재구성 가능한 시스템에 아주 효율적으로 적용되었고 효과적인 결과를 도출하였다. 실험 결과는 본 논문에서 제시한 기법을 사용했을 시 사용하지 않았을 경우보다 최대 24%정도의 파워 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 면적을 줄이기 위해서 기존의 일반적인 곱셈기를 사용하는 대신에 배럴 시프터(barrel shifter)를 이용한 곱셈기를 설계해 적용하였다. 기존 곱셈기를 제안한 곱셈기로 바꾸면 설계한 재구성 가능한 DSP의 구조상 많은 면적을 줄이는 것이 가능했다. 기존 곱셈기에 비해 제안된 곱셈기는 면적은 42%가 줄었으며, 전체적인 재구성 가능한 DSP의 면적에서 14% 감소한 결과를 도출하였다. 그러므로 본 논문은 재구성 가능한 특성을 갖는 IP의 단점인 파워 소모와 추가적인 면적을 효과적으로 보완한 면에 있어 큰 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

Power consumption during testing System-On-Chip (SOC) is becoming increasingly important as the IP core increases in SOC. We present a new algorithm to reduce the scan-in power using the modified scan latch reordering and clock gating. We apply scan latch reordering technique for minimizing the hamming distance in scan vectors. Also, during scan latch reordering, the don't care inputs in scan vectors are assigned for low power. Also, we apply the clock gated scan cells. Experimental results for ISCAS 89 benchmark circuits show that reduced low power scan testing can be achieved in all cases.

In this paper, we describe the development of a platform-based SoC of a 32-bit smart card. The smart card uses a 32-bit microprocessor for high performance and two cryptographic processors for high security. It supports both contact and contactless interfaces, which comply with ISO/IEC 7816 and 14496 Type B. It has a Java Card OS to support multiple applications. We modeled smart card readers with a foreign language interface for efficient verification of the smart card SoC. The SoC was implemented using 0.25 ${\mu}m$ technology. To reduce the power consumption of the smart card SoC, we applied power optimization techniques, including clock gating. Experimental results show that the power consumption of the RSA and ECC cryptographic processors can be reduced by 32% and 62%, respectively, without increasing the area.

In recent years, the interest in noise increases gradually and the low noise level becomes one of the important performances in electrical equipment for railway vehicle. In the auxiliary power supply, most of the noise is made by the current ripple of alternating current reactor(ACL) which filters the output voltage. And this current ripple results from the voltage harmonics across the ACL. So the noise can be reduced by eliminating the voltage harmonics across the ACL. This paper shows harmonic eliminating technique which is making gating signals of upper and lower inverter have a phase difference in the 12-step inverter type auxiliary power supply. This technique was proved by testing on the developed 180KVA auxiliary power supply using IGBT.

In this paper, a static overmodulation method using the effective time to control the overmodulation is proposed. The effective time is derived from actual switching time interval. The proposed method reduces the complex operations such as complicated gating time. The experimental results have been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Among Internet of things (IoT) applications, the most demanding requirements for the widespread realization of many IoT visions are security and low power. In terms of security, IoT applications include tasks that are rarely addressed before such as secure computation, trusted sensing, and communication, privacy, and so on. These tasks ask for new and better techniques for the protection of data, software, and hardware. An integral part of hardware cryptographic primitives are secret keys and unique IDs. Physical Unclonable Functions(PUF) are a unique class of circuits that leverage the inherent variations in manufacturing process to create unique, unclonable IDs and secret keys. In this paper, we propose a low power Arbiter PUF circuit with low error rate and high reliability compared with conventional arbiter PUFs. The proposed PUF utilizes a power gating structure to save the power consumption in sleep mode, and uses a razor flip-flop to increase reliability. PUF has been designed and implemented using a FPGA and a ASIC chip (a 0.35 um technology). Experimental results show that our proposed PUF solves the metastability problem and reduce the power consumption of PUF compared to the conventional Arbiter PUF. It is expected that the proposed PUF can be used in systems required low power consumption and high reliability such as low power encryption processors and low power biomedical systems.

High frequency AC (HFAC) power distribution systems delivering power through a high frequency AC link with sinusoidal voltage have the advantages of simple structure and high efficiency. In a multiple module system, where multiple resonant inverters are paralleled to the high frequency AC bus through connection inductors, it is necessary for the output voltage phase angles of the inverters be controlled so that the circulating current among the inverters be minimized. However, the phase angle of the resonant inverters output voltage can not be controlled with conventional phase shift modulation or pulse width modulation. The phase angle is a function of both the phase of the gating signals and the impedance of the resonant tank. In this paper, we proposed a pulse phase modulation (PPM) concept for the resonant inverters, so that the phase angle of the output voltage can be regulated. The PPM can be used to minimize the circulating current between the resonant inverters. The mechanisms of the phase angle control and the PPM were explained. The small signal model of a PPM controlled half-bridge resonant inverter was analyzed. The concept was verified in a half bridge resonant inverter with a series-parallel resonant tank. An HFAC power distribution system with two resonant inverters connected in parallel to a 500kHz, 28V AC bus was presented to demonstrate the applicability of the concept in a high frequency power distribution system.

This paper proposes an asynchronous circuit design methodology using a new Single Gate Sleep Convention Logic (SG-SCL) with advantages such as low area overhead, low power consumption compared with the conventional null convention logic (NCL) methodologies. The delay-insensitive NCL asynchronous circuits consist of dual-rail structures using {DATA0, DATA1, NULL} encoding which carry a significant area overhead by comparison with single-rail structures. The area overhead can lead to high power consumption. In this paper, the proposed single gate SCL deploys a power gating structure for a new {DATA, SLEEP} encoding to achieve low area overhead and low power consumption maintaining high performance during DATA cycle. In this paper, the proposed methodology has been evaluated by a liquid state machine (LSM) for pattern and digit recognition using FPGA and a 0.18 ㎛ CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. the LSM is a neural network (NN) algorithm similar to a spiking neural network (SNN). The experimental results show that the proposed SG-SCL LSM reduced power consumption by 10% compared to the conventional LSM.
