It is currently increasing to use surge protection devices in the protection of various electronic circuits from the transient overvoltages such as lightning strikes and switching surges. For this reason, the simulation methods, which can easily predict the protection performance of the devices, are strongly required in order to design the adequate surge protection circuits in lightning surge cut-off performance and economic aspects. This paper deals with ZnO varistor modeling method for designing a surge protection circuit and suggests the Pspice simulation model which takes the characteristic of varying clamping voltage into consideration during the time-to-crest, in range of $8{\sim}30{\mu}s$, of surge current applied to a ZnO varistor. The ZnO varistor Pspice simulation data introduced in this paper has produced almost same values as the measured results experimentally.

The high efficiency multi-resonant converter(MRC) is capable of operating at a high frequency because the losses are decreased due to the resonant tank circuit. Such a few MHz high frequency applications provide high power density[W/inch3] of the converter. However, the resonant voltage stress across the switch of the resonant tank circuit is 4∼5 times input voltage. This high voltage stress increases the conduction losses because of on-resistance of a MOSFET with higher rating. In this paper, the modeling analysis for the AT Forward MRC suggested to solve the these problems is discusses. The operational modes of the AT Forward MRC are divided to 8 equivalent modes according to the two switching sequences. Each mode analysis is covered using the equivalent circuits modeled over all of the paper. The operational principle of the resonant converter was verified through the experimental converter with 48[V] input voltage, 5[V]/50[W] output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. The measured maximum voltage, 5[V]/50[W] output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. The measure maximum voltage stress is 170[V] of 2.9 times the input voltage and the maximum efficiency is measured to 81.66%.

After the semiconductor processing, wafer is attracted by ESC(Electrostatic Chuck) with remaining electric charge. That causes too many problems for examples, sliding of wafer, popping or broken. This paper presents the model of ESC for silicon wafer, which is modeled by electrical circuit component such as capacitor. The simulations using PSpice result in the phenomenon of silicon wafer was charged by ESC. In this paper we suggest the discharging method. for wafer.

In order to analyze the characteristics of complicated TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) circuits, it is indispensible to use simulation programs. In this study, we present a systematic method of extracting the input parameters of poly-Si TFT for Spice simulation. This method is applied to two different types of poly-Si TFTs fabricated in our group with good results. Among the Spice simulators, Pspice has the graphic user interface feature making the composition of complicated circuits easier. We added successfully a poly-Si TFT model on the Pspice simulator, which would contribute to efficient simulations of poly-Si TFT-LCD pixels and arrays.

Single-phase and three-phase AC to DC power converters are becoming frequently used for high voltage/high power applications such as telecommunications. They often require input/output transformer isolation for safety, a unity input power factor for minimum reactive power, free input harmonic currents fed back to the AC Power distribution system and, finally, high efficiency and high power density for minimum weight and volume. The proposed boost converter for power factor correction (PFC) provides an unity input power factor, low harmonic distortion and high efficiency along with reduced volume and weight. Single-phase 220VAC input/380VDC 1KW output prototype is constructed and experimental results will be verified with those of PSpice simulation.

Generally, ZnO varistors have dynamic characteristics that the cut-off voltage increases as the time to crest of the varistor current decreases. Dynamic characteristics of ZnO varistor are the most important factor in region of the steep front discharge current particularly. Also, V-I characteristics of ZnO varistor have hysterisis loop in time domain and frequency dependency. This paper deals with ZnO varistor numerical equation and modeling method which takes the behavior of varying clamping voltage into consideration during the time to crest, in range of $1{\mu}m{\sim}50{\mu}m$, of impulse current applied to a ZnO varistor. The simulated results by the proposed model are compared with experimental results for each of the impulse current.

The 10kW or 1MW model of a photovoltaic array written in PSPICE is presented in this paper. A problem with this large scale centralized photovoltaic system is the decrease of power due to the resistance of cable connecting individual subarray with inverter. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between the resistance of cable and subarray output power of 1MW photovoltaic system by the PSPICE modeling. As a result of simulation, we can proved that photovoltaic array output power is limitted by the resistance of cable.

To prove the validity of the simulation, the hardware was constructed to the same conditions. Implemented using the hardware and the DSP controller for a real system, the results were confirmed by experiments.

In this paper, a real-coefficient approach to Adaptive Frequency Sampling (AFS) technique is developed for efficient equivalent circuit modeling of RF components. This proposed method is advantageous than the vector fitting technique and the conventional AFS method in terms of fewer samples leading to a lower order of a rational function on a given data and to a direct conversion to an equivalent circuit for PSPICE(Personal Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphsis) simulation, respectively. To validate the proposed method, the distributed equivalent circuit of a presented multi-layered RF low-pass filter is obtained using the proposed real-coefficient AFS, and then comparisons with EM simulation and circuit simulation for the device under consideration are achieved.
