본 논문은 중용량에 적합한 새로운 이중출력 LLC 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터에 관한 것으로써, 별도의 Post-regulator및 추가되는 제어 IC 없이 정밀한 이중출력이 가능한 새로운 방식의 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터의 제어방식은 펄스폭 변조(PWM)와 동시에 주파수 변조(PFM)를 통해 이루어지며 Master 와 Slave 출력을 각각 주파수, 듀티로 제어함으로써 Slave 출력을 위한 별도의 Post-Regulator 및 제어 IC가 필요 없기 때문에, 저가의 컨버터 구현이 가능하다. 또한 기존 LLC 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터와 같이 스위칭 소자의 영전압 스위칭이 보장되는 동시에, Post-Regulator 로 인한 손실이 없기 때문에 효율 및 발열 특성이 매우 우수하다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터의 우수성과 신뢰성 검증을 위해, 실제로 50" FHD급 PDP용 전원회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하고 이를 이용한 실험결과를 바탕으로 제안된 컨버터의 타당성을 검증한다.

In this paper, we design and implement the monolithic zero crossing detection power factor correction IC using a high voltage 30V BCD process. The ZCD PFC IC is designed for power applications, such as notebook, LCD monitor, etc. It includes power factor correction function and several protection circuit, regulator, high-voltage high current output drivers. And also, the designed IC has restart timer function which the output pulse is generated if the output signal of IC is not in a 200us. The simulation results show that the designed IC acts properly as power factor correction IC with efficient protective functions.

Due to improvement of the semiconductor technology, the LED replaces the conventional lighting source and LED drivers have been studied and developed. The LED is driven by the constant current control method according to its characteristics. For the constant current control method, the linear regulator and the switching regulator is used. The switching regulator is usually used to LED drivers because it has specific characteristics as the wide input dynamic range and the high efficiency. In this paper, we have described the principle and the implement of the switching regulator, using the drive IC and the low cost DSP chip. Also, both methods have been implemented and its electrical characteristics had almost same experimental results in the steady state and the transient state.

This paper proposes a new multi-output LLC resonant converter by using single control IC, which has the tight-regulated dual output voltage without additional power devices and controller. The proposed converter has master and slave outputs, of which regulations are achieved by the PWM(pulse width modulation) and PFM(pulse frequency modulation), respectively. Different from the conventional dual-output LLC resonant converter, the proposed converter has no additional post-regulators like a boost converter. Therefore, it features a low cost, small size, and high efficiency. To confirm the validity and prove the superiority of proposed converter, simulated and experimental results on a 50" FHD PDP power set prototype are presented.

In this paper, we introduce the characteristics of a vertical PNP transistor that improves start current by decreasing quiescent current with suppressing the parasitic transistor. In order to suppress the parasitic effect, we designed a vertical PNP transistor which suppresses parasitic PNP transistor by using the "DN+ links" without changing the circuit and made a LDO regulator using a standard IC processor. HFE of the fabricated parasitic PNP transistor decreased from conventional 18 to 0.9. Starting current of the LDO regulator made of the vertical PNP transistor using the improved "DN+ linked" structure is reduced from the conventional starting current of 90mA to 32mA. As the result, we developed a LDO regulator which consumes lower power in the standby state.

This paper proposes an LDO regulator with a built-in ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection circuit to effectively operate and prevent destruction of the LDO (Low Drop Out) regulator according to the load current. The proposed LDO regulator can more effectively adjust the gate node voltage of the pass transistor according to the output voltage of the LDO regulator by using an additional feedback current circuit structure. In addition, it is expected to have high reliability for the ESD situation by embedding a new structure that increases the holding voltage by about 2V by reducing the current gain on the SCR loop by adding a P+ bridge to the existing ESD protection device.

본 논문에서는 30W급 스위칭형 직류전원장치 (Switching Mode Power Supply : SMPS)에 준공진형 프라이 백 스위칭 레귤레이터(quasi-resonant flyback switching regulator)를 적용하여 방사노이즈(radiation-noise)를 억제한 사례에 대하여 설명하고 있다. 기존의 PI사(社)의 TOP IC 시리즈$^{[1]}$와 같이 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 일명, 하드 스위칭(hard-switching)형 레귤레이터를 사용할 경우, 고속 스위칭시에 스위칭 손실(switching loss)과 스위칭 노이즈(switching noise)가 발생한다. 이로 인하여 SMPS의 발열에 따른 효율저화와 방사 노이즈에 의한 전파방해 등이 문제점이 된다. 본 논문에서는 일본의 Sanken사(社)에서 개발/시판중인 준공진형 스위칭 레귤레이터인 STR-F6000 IC 시리즈$^{[2]}$를 이용하여 프라이백 SMPS를 구성하여 방사노이즈를 저감하였다.

본 논문은 대기전력저감 및 정확한 출력전압 제어가 가능한 새로운 방식의 SSR(Secondary Side Regulator) 회로를 제안한다. 제안방식은 기존의 1차 측 IC를 2차 측으로 옮김으로써 기존의 SSR의 장점인 정확한 출력전압의 제어가 가능하다는 점과 포토커플러 및 TL431을 사용하지 않는 방식이므로 대기전력저감 측면에 있어 유리한 장점을 갖는다. 또한 절연된 1-2차 측간 신호전송방법에 있어 사이즈가 작고 가격이 저렴한 CT(Current Transformer)를 사용하여 Pulse edge의 전달을 통해 제어를 한다. 제안회로의 타당성 검증을 위하여 이론적 해석과 10W 급 플라이백 컨버터의 실험결과를 통해 증명하였다.
