본 논문에서는 전류 제어 회로를 이용하여 load Transient response 특성을 향상시킨 capless LDO(low drop-out) 레귤레이터를 제안하였다. LDO 레귤레이터 내부의 오차증폭기와 패스 트랜지스터 사이에 전류 조절 회로를 두어 전압 라인에 들어오는 전류특성을 개선시켜 기존의 LDO 레귤레이터보다 향상된 transient 응답특성을 갖는다. 제안된 회로는 cadence의 virtuoso, spectre 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 0.18 um 공정에서 특성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면, 제안된 회로 구성을 이용한 LDO의 load transient response는 기존 LDO과 비교하여 부하 전류가 rising time인 경우 1.954 us에서 1.378 us, falling time인 경우 19.48 us에서 13.33 us으로 약 29%, 28% 개선된 응답속도를 가진다.

Vancomycin response regulator (VncR) is a pneumococcal response regulator of the VncRS two-component signal transduction system (TCS) of Streptococcus pneumoniae. VncRS regulates bacterial autolysis and vancomycin resistance. VncR contains two different functional domains, the N-terminal receiver domain and C-terminal effector domain. Here, we investigated VncR C-terminal DNA binding domain (VncRc) structure using a crystallization approach. Crystallization was performed using the micro-batch method. The crystals diffracted to a 1.964 Å resolution and belonged to space group P212121. The crystal unit-cell parameters were a = 25.71 Å, b = 52.97 Å, and c = 60.61 Å. The structure of VncRc had a helix-turn-helix motif highly similar to the response regulator PhoB of Escherichia coli. In isothermal titration calorimetry and size exclusion chromatography results, VncR formed a complex with VncS, a sensor histidine kinase of pneumococcal TCS. Determination of VncR structure will provide insight into the mechanism by how VncR binds to target genes.

An on-chip current sensor with fast response time for the peak-current-mode buck regulator is proposed. The initial operating points of the peak current sensor are determined in advance by the valley current level, which is sensed by a valley current sensor. As a result, the proposed current sensor achieves a fast response time of less than 20 ns, and a sensing accuracy of over 90%. Applying the proposed current sensor, the peak-current-mode buck regulator for the mobile application is realized with an operating frequency of 2 MHz, an output voltage of 0.8 V, a maximum load current of 500 mA, and a peak efficiency of over 83%.

기존 LDO 레귤레이터 외부 커패시터는 오버슈트 및 언더슈트와 같은 과도 응답 특성을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제안한 Capless LDO 레귤레이터는 과도 응답을 개선하고 우수한 전류 구동 능력을 제공하기 위해 패스 트랜지스터에 바디 기술을 적용하였다. 제안하는 LDO 레귤레이터의 동작 조건은 3.3V ~ 4.5V 범위의 입력 전압, 최대 부하 전류 200mA, 출력 전압 3V로 설정하였다. 측정 결과, 부하 전류가 100mA일 때 전압은 언더슈트 상태에서 95 mV, 오버슈트 상태에서 105 mV임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

We present a CMOS rail-to-rail class-AB amplifier using dynamic current biasing to improve the delay response of the error amplifier in a low-dropout (LDO) regulator, which is a building block for a wireless power transfer receiver. The response time of conventional error amplifiers deteriorates by slewing due to parasitic capacitance generated at the pass transistor of the LDO regulator. To enhance slewing, an error amplifier with dynamic current biasing was devised. The LDO regulator with the proposed error amplifier was fabricated in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ high-voltage BCDMOS process. We obtained an output voltage of 4 V with a range of input voltages between 4.7 V and 7 V and an output current of up to 212 mA. The settling time during line transient was measured as $9{\mu}s$ for an input variation of 4.7-6 V. In addition, an output capacitor of 100 pF was realized on chip integration.

This study addresses the modeling of a bi-directional outlet variable swash plate type axial piston pump with two EPPR valves and an analysis of the response characteristics to the angle control of that pump. In this paper, the combination of the EPPR valve and double rod type piston is referred to as the EPPR regulator. The EPPR regulator is compact and inexpensive, and has good responsiveness. Under actual pump operating conditions, because of the various external conditions of the pump, inertia is applied to the swash plate, generating the tilting torque. Also, the tilting torque can delay or shorten the response characteristics of the regulator. So we validated them through the analysis using SimulationX and these results allow users to freely integrate the EPPR regulator into the desired system.

The two-component signal transduction, which typically consists of a histidine kinase and a response regulator, is used by bacterial cells to sense changes in their environment. Previously, the SphS-SphR histidine kinase and response regulator pair of phosphate sensing signal transduction has been identified in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In addition, some response regulators in bacteria have been shown to be cross regulated by low molecular weight phosphorylated compounds in the absence of the cognate histidine kinase. The ability of an endogenous acetyl phosphate to phosphorylate the response regulator, SphR in the absence of the cognate histidine kinase, SphS was therefore tested in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The mutant lacking functional SphS and acetate kinase showed no detectable alkaline phosphatase activity under phosphate-limiting growth conditions. The results suggested that the endogenous acetyl phosphate accumulated inside the mutants could not activate the SphR via phosphorylation. On the other hand, exogenous acetyl phosphate could allow the mutant lacking functional acetate kinase and phosphotransacetylase to grow under phosphate-limiting conditions suggesting the role of acetyl phosphate as an energy source. Reverse transcription PCR demonstrated that the transcripts of acetate kinase and phospho-transacetylase genes in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is up-regulated in response to phosphate limitation suggesting the importance of these two enzymes for energy metabolism in Synechocystis cells

This paper describes the procedure of getting information about auto-tuning of PID regulator by the injection of high step input, called limited input, during a transient time of control. The key point is that system identification and control could be continuously executed. This means that the system information obtained by limited input despite of system uncertainty can be continuously applied to the PI regulator. Simulation and experiment result of brushless DC motor system having monotone increasing step response demonstrate the usefulness of proposed auto-tuning algorithm.
