In this paper, we study nonlinear equation arising in MEMS modeling electrostatic actuation. We will prove the local and global existence of solutions of the generalized parabolic MEMS equation. We present that there exists a constant ${\lambda}^*$ such that the associated stationary problem has a solution for any ${\lambda}$ < ${\lambda}^*$ and no solution for any ${\lambda}$ > ${\lambda}^*$. We show that when ${\lambda}$ < ${\lambda}^*$ the global solution converges to its unique maximal steady-state as $t{\rightarrow}{\infty}$. We also obtain the condition for the existence of a touchdown time $T{\leq}{\infty}$ for the dynamical solution. Furthermore, there exists $p_0$ > 1, as a function of $p$, the pull-in voltage ${\lambda}^*(p)$ is strictly decreasing with respect to 1 < $p$ < $p_0$, and increasing with respect to $p$ > $p_0$.

Fuel Cell (FC) has slow response characteristic for load variation. During a load step, the inverter cannot pull more power from the fuel cell than is currently available so supplemental power must be provide by some sort of energy storage elements. In this paper, hi-directional do-dc converter for FC generation system is proposed to improve load response characteristic. The hi-directional converter interfaces the low voltage battery to the inverter dc link of FC generation system. The converter is based on a active full bridge in the primary side and on a half bridge in the secondary of a high frequency isolation transformer. The complete operating principles and simulation results in presented.

This paper deals with a bidirectional ac-dc converter used in ups system application. We propose a Voltage-Source-Charge-Pump-Power-Factor-Correction(VS-CPPFC) ac-dc converters. First of all, we propose a charge pump power-factor-correction converter. Secondly, we derive and analyse a unity power factor condition. The proposed topology is based on a half-bridge for the primary and a current-fed push pull for the secondary side of a high frequency isolation transformer. The advantage of bidirectional flow of power achieved by using the same power components is that the circuit is simple and efficient. And the galvanically isolated topology is specially attractive in battery charge/discharge circuits in ups system. We design equivalent model for the steady-state circuit and analyse operation waveforms for each mode. We show that the proposed model can be applied to ups system by simulation processes.

In the charge system, a contact type-convenient-charging method is insufficient because of the contact failure around moist environment and troublesome question to put in and pull out. For the solution of this problem, an electromagnetically coupled non-contact charger for the rechargeable cell is proposed using ZVS multi-resonant forward converter. In this paper magnetizing inductance, leakage inductance and coupling coefficient, k are observed. By using the obserbed value, the proposed circuit is simulated by the PSPICE and implemented and the peak voltage of switch and output power are measured.

We present the characteristics of microwave and mechanical behavior for the electrostatically actuated z-shaped laterally driven micriomachined CPW SPST(Single Pole Single Throw) Switch, which is for the application of the microwave communication systems. In this paper, we have aimed to maintain advantages. such as low insertion loss and low power consumption that the previously developed RF MEMS Switch has and minimize also stiction problem. enhance the microwave characteristics by etching of substrate beneath the switch, realize the pull-in voltage of below 30V. The optimized design parameters of the MEMS Switch can be selected by the analysis of the mechanical behavior and the use of ANSYS simulation method.

This paper presents a clock and data recovery(CDR) using a quarter-rate technique. The proposed CDR helps reduce the VCO frequency and is thus advantageous for high speed application. It can achieve a low jitter operation and extend the pull-in range without a reference clock. The CDR consists of a quarter-rate bang-bang type phase detector(PD) quarter-rate frequency detector(QRFD), two charge pumps circuits(CPs), low pass filter(LPF) and a ring voltage controlled oscillator(VCO). The Proposed CDR has been fabricated in a standard $0.18{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS technology. It occupies an active area $1{\times}1mm^2$ and consumes 98 mW from a single 1.8 V supply.

In this study, we redesigned the reliable integrated on-panel display gate driver that was equipped with dual pull-down as well as controlled discharge-path structure to reduce the high voltage stress effect and realized with TSMC 0.35 um CMOS-based technology before. An improved discharge path and a low noise design are proposed for our new a-Si TFT process implementation. Our novel reliable gate driver design can make each cell of shift register to be insensitive to the coupling noise of that stage.

We proposed several systems for 1Giga bit Modem. The first, Binary ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) system has a high speed shutter transmitter and no IF(Intermediate Frequency) receiver only by symbol synchronization. The advantage of proposed system is that circuitry is very simple without IF process. The disadvantage of proposed system are that line spectrum occurs interference to other channels, and enhancement to 4-level system is impossible due to its large SNR degradation. The second, Binary phase modulation system has a high speed shutter transmitter and IF-VCO(IF-Voltage Controlled Oscillator) control by base-band phase rotation. Polarity of shutter window is changed by the binary data. The window should be narrow same as above ASK. The advantage of proposed system is which error rate performance is superior. The disadvantage of proposed system are that Circuitry is more complex, narrow pull-in range of receiver caused by VCO and spectrum divergence by the non-linear amplifier. The third, 4-QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)system has a nyquist pulse transmitter and IF-VCO control by symbol clock. The advantage of proposed system are that signal frequency band is a half of 1GHz, reliable pull-in of VCO and possibility of double speed transmission(2Gbps) by keeping 1GHz frequency-band. The disadvantage of proposed system are that circuit complexity of pulse shaping and spectrum divergence by the non-linear amplifier.
