본 논문에서는 가변안내표지판(VMS)용 멀티-채널 LED Driver IC를 설계 연구 하였다. 설계한 LED Driver IC의 채널 수는 96 채널을 기본으로 하여 여분의 64채널을 추가로 구성하였다. VDD는 동작 환경에 따라 사용할 수 있게 12V, 6V, 3.3V로 구성하였다. 각 채널당 전류는 20mA로 일정한 전류가 흐를 수 있도록 하였다. 온도 변화에 따른 전류 변화로 인한 LED 휘도특성 변화를 줄이기 위해 트랜지스터를 여러단으로 쌓아 회로를 구성하였으며 내부 회로에 PTAT과 Bandgap Reference를 이용하여 트랜지스터에 안정적인 전원이 공급될 수 있게 구성하였다. 본 논문에 사용된 공정은 동부 0.13um 공정으로 최대 3.3V까지 사용할 수 있지만 12V및 6V에도 사용할 수 있게 트랜스지터를 쌓는 회로를 구성하였다.

High-bandwidth DRAM을 위해 1Gb/s의 데이터 전송률까지 동작하고 그 출력 전압 스윙이 온도와 전원 전압(VDD) 변동에 무관한 CMOS open-drain 출력 구조 회로를 설계하였다. 출력 구동 회로는 여섯 개의 binary-weighted NMOS 트랜지스터로 구성되는데, 이 여섯 개 중에서 ON시킬 current control register의 내용은 추가 호로 없이 DRAM 칩에 존재하는 auto refresh 신호를 이용하여 새롭게 수정하였다. Auto refresh 시간 구간동안 current control register를 수정하는데, 이 시간 구간동안 부궤환 (negative feedback) 동작에 의해 low level 출력 전압($V_OL$)이 저전압 밴드갭 기준전압 발생기(bandgap reference voltage generator)에 의해서 만들어진 기준전압($V_{OL.ref}$)과도 같도록 유지된다. 테스트 칩은 1Gb/s의 데이터 전송률까지 성공적으로 동작하였다. 온도 $20^{\circ}C$~$90^{\circ}C$, 전원 전압 2.25V~2.75V영역에서 최악의 경우 제안된 출력 구동 회로의 $V_{OL.ref}$와 $V_OL$의 변동은 각각 2.5%와 725%로 측정된 반면, 기존의 출력 구동 회로의 $V_OL$의 변동은 같은 온도의 전원 접압의 영역에 대해 24%로 측정되었다.

In this paper, High brightness LED (light-emitting diodes) driver IC (integrated circuit) using new current sensing circuit is proposed. This LED driver IC can provide a constant current with high current precision over a wide input voltage range. The proposed current-sensing circuit is composed of a cascode current sensor and a current comparator with only one reference voltage. This IC minimizes the voltage stress of the MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) from the maximum input voltage and has low power consumption and chip area by using simple-structured comparator and minimum bias current. To confirm the functioning and characteristics of our proposed LED driver IC, we designed a buck converter. The LED current ripple of the designed IC is in ${\pm}5%$ and a tolerance of the average LED current is lower than 2.43%. This shows much improved feature than the previous method. Also, protections for input voltage and operating temperature are designed to improve the reliability of the designed IC. Designed LED driver IC uses 1.0 ${\mu}m$ X-Fab. BiCMOS process parameters and electrical characteristics and functioning are verified by spectre (Cadence) simulation.

Estimating a driver's head pose is an important task in driver-assistance systems because it can provide information about where a driver is looking, thereby giving useful cues about the status of the driver (i.e., paying proper attention, fatigued, etc.). This study proposes a system for estimating the head pose using monocular images, which includes a novel use of backprojection. The system can use a single image to estimate a driver's head pose at a particular time stamp, or an image sequence to support the analysis of a driver's status. Using our proposed system, we compared two previous pose estimation approaches. We introduced an approach for providing ground-truth reference data using a mannequin model. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system provides relatively accurate estimations of the yaw, tilt, and roll angle. The results also show that one of the pose estimation approaches (perspective-n-point, PnP) provided a consistently better estimate compared to the other (pose from orthography and scaling with iterations, POSIT) using our proposed system.

This paper present a modified repetitive control scheme for an optical storage system to track a periodic reference signal with dynamic change in period. Periodic disturbances can be adequately attenuated using the concept of repetitive control, provided the period is know. An optical storage system supports various speeds. To deal with time varying periodic disturbances, an proposed repetitive controller is turned based on repetitive control to change sampling frequency to follow the change of reference Period. A modified repetitive control scheme is proposed and implement on experimental set up of a optical disk driver.

In this study, to investigate the dangerous driving on the curves, a driving test was performed in 10 km from Jinan and to Jeonju(Bugui Gas Station~Whasim Intersection), on the national highway No. 26. For the dangerous driving felt by the driver when a driver is driving on the curves, lateral acceleration and yaw rate were analyzed. And then, the reference value of lateral acceleration and yaw rate was computed. Through observing the driving speed and the characteristics of ordinary drivers using the applicable roads or following them as they drive, the driving test was performed again and the section exceeding the reference value set as above was computed. On the dangerous driving area, exceeding the reference value, total 10 accidents took place from 2006 till 2010, and slipping caused by speeding accounted for more than 70% of the accidents. It was concluded that the result of an analysis through recording drivers' driving characteristics, was reliable.

The research on autonomous vehicle that expected to greatly reduce accidents by driver's mistakes is increasing in the development of technology. The purpose of this research is to identify the factor that affect trust in autonomous vehicles and analyze the requirements of the driver in autonomous vehicles environment. Therefore, in this study, we defined the information and functions provided by the autonomous vehicles through the investigation of the prior studies, conducted a questionnaire survey and focused group interview (FGI). The results show that competency, error management were important factors influencing trust in autonomous vehicles and identified that driver took safety related information as high priority in autonomous vehicle. Also, it was identified that driver prefer to perform the multimedia function in autonomous vehicle environment. The study is looking forward to be the reference data for design of advanced autonomous vehicle. It will contribute to the improvement of the convenience and satisfaction of the drivers.

In this paper, we propose a novel shoot-through protection circuit and pulse generator for half-bridge driver IC. We designed a robust half-bridge driver IC over a variation of processes and power supplies. The proposed circuit is composed a delay circuit using a beta-multiplier reference. The proposed circuit has a lower variation rate of dead time and pulse-width over variation of processes and supply voltages than the conventional circuit. Especially, the proposed circuit has more excellent pulse-width matching of set and reset signals than the conventional circuit. Also, the proposed pulse generator is prevented from fault operations using a logic gate. Dead time and pulse-width of the proposed circuit are typical 250 ns, respectively. The variation ratio is 68%(170 ns) of maximum over variation of processes and supply voltages. The proposed circuit is designed using $1\;{\mu}m$ 650 V BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS) process parameter, and the simulations are carried out using Spectre simulator of Cadence corporation.
