In this paper, we propose a wide range PLL(Phase Locked Loop) for 64X CD-ROMs & l0X DVD-ROMs. The frequency locking range of the Proposed PLL is 75MHz~370MHz. To reduce jitters caused by large VCO gain and supply voltage noise, a new V-I converter and a differential delay cell are used in 3-stage ring VCO, respectively. The new V-I converter has a 0.6V ~ 2.5V wide input range. In addition, we propose a new charge pump which has perfect current matching characteristics for the sourcing/sinking current. This new charge pump improves the locking time and the locking range of the PLL. This Chip is implemented in 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. It consumes 55㎽ in worst case with a single 2.5V power supply.

As the grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PVPCS) are installed in many residential areas, these have raised potential problems of network protection on electrical power system. One of the numerous problems is an Islanding phenomenon. There has been an argument that it may be a non-issue in practice because the probability of islanding is extremely low. However, there are three counter-arguments: First, the low probability of islanding is based on the assumption of 100% power matching between the PVPCS and the islanded local loads. In fact, an islanding can be easily formed even without 100% power matching (the power mismatch could be up to 30% if only traditional protections are used, e.g. under/over voltage/frequency). The 30% power-mismatch condition will drastically increase the islanding probability. Second, even with a larger power mismatch, the time for voltage or frequency to deviate sufficiently to cause a trip, plus the time required to execute a trip (particularly if conventional switchgear is required to operate), can easily be greater than the typical re-close time on the distribution circuit. Third, the low-probability argument is based on the study of PVPCS. Especially, if the output power of PVPCS equals to power consumption of local loads, it is very difficult for the PVPCS to sustain the voltage and frequency in an islanding. Unintentional islanding of PVPCS may result in power-quality issues, interference to grid-protection devices, equipment damage, and even personnel safety hazards. Therefore the verification of anti-islanding performance is strongly needed. In this paper, improved RPV method is proposed through considering power quality and anti-islanding capacity of grid-connected single-phase PVPCS in IEEE Std 1547 ("Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources to Electric Power Systems"). And the simulation results are verified.

This paper presents a direct-conversion CMOS transceiver for fully digital DS-UWB systems. The transceiver includes all of the radio building blocks, such as a T/R switch, a low noise amplifier, an I/Q demodulator, a low pass filter, a variable gain amplifier as a receiver, the same receiver blocks as a transmitter including a phase-locked loop (PLL), and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). A single-ended-to-differential converter is implemented in the down-conversion mixer and a differential-to-single-ended converter is implemented in the driver amplifier stage. The chip is fabricated on a 9.0 $mm^2$ die using standard 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology and a 64-pin MicroLead Frame package. Experimental results show the total current consumption is 143 mA including the PLL and VCO. The chip has a 3.5 dB receiver gain flatness at the 660 MHz bandwidth. These results indicate that the architecture and circuits are adaptable to the implementation of a wideband, low-power, and high-speed wireless personal area network.

본 논문에서는 capacitance scaling 구조를 이용하여 짧은 locking 시간과 작은 fractional spur를 가지는 ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ fractional-N PLL을 설계하였다. 루프필터의 실효 커패시턴스를 변화시키기 위하여 여러 개의 전하펌프를 이용해 서로 다른 경로로 커패시터에 전류를 공급하였다. 필터의 실효 커패시턴스는 동작상태에 따라 크기가 변하며 커패시터들은 하나의 PLL 칩에 집적화 할 수 있을 정도로 작은 크기를 가진다. 또한 PLL이 lock 되면 전하펌프 전류의 크기도 작아져 fractional spur의 크기도 작아진다. 제안된 구조는 HSPICE CMOS $0.35{\mu}m$ 공정으로 시뮬레이션 하였으며 $8{\mu}s$ 이하의 locking 시간을 가진다. PLL의 루프필터는 200pF, 17pF의 작은 커패시터와 $2.8k{\Omega}$의 저항으로 설계되었다.

As the fact that the simple data of text and sound in early year have been changed to be high quality images and sounds. PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) system plays an important role in communication system. VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is the most important part in PLL system because it can have critical effects on operation of PLL. Recently, it has been raised the necessity of high speed and high accuracy circuit application. In this paper, a new differential voltage clamped VCO using negative-skewed path is suggested. Using a dual-delay scheme to implement the VCO, higher operation frequency and wider tuning are achieved simultaneously. The dual-delay scheme means that both the negative skewed delay paths and the normal delay paths exist in the same ring oscillator. The negative skewed delay paths decrease the unit delay time of the ring oscillator below the single inverter delay time. As a result, higher operation frequency can be obtained. The whole characteristics of VCO are simulated by using HSPICE. Simulation results show that the resulting operating frequencies are 50% higher than those obtainable from the conventional approaches.

A 30kW electrical power conversion system is developed for a variable speed wind turbine. In the wind energy conversion system(WECS) a synchronous generator with field current excitation converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As the voltage and the frequency of the generator output vary according to the wind speed, a 6-bridge diode rectifier and a PWM boost chopper is utilized as an ac-dc converter maintaining the constant dc-link voltage with only single switch control. An input current control algorithm for maximum power generation during the variable speed operation is proposed without any usage of speed sensor. Grid connection type PWM inverter converts dc input power to ac output currents into the grid. The active power to the grid is controlled by q-axis current and the reactive power is controlled by d-axis current with appropriate decoupling. The phase angle of utility voltage is detected using software PLL(Phased Locked Loop) in d-q synchronous reference frame. Experimental results from the test of 30kW prototype wind turbine system show that the generator power can be controlled effectively during the variable speed operation without any speed sensor.

This paper presents a wide-frequency-range, low-power transceiver with an automatic impedance-matching calibration for TV-white-space (TVWS) application. The wide-range automatic impedance matching calibration (AIMC) is proposed for the Drive Amplifier (DA) and LNA. The optimal $S_{22}$ and $S_{11}$ matching capacitances are selected in the DA and LNA, respectively. Also, the Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch is integrated to share the antenna and matching network between the transmitter and receiver, thereby minimizing the systemic cost. An N-path filter is proposed to reject the large interferers in the TVWS frequency band. The current-driven mixer with a 25% duty LO generator is designed to achieve the high-gain and low-noise figures; also, the frequency synthesizer is designed to generate the wide-range LO signals, and it is used to implement the FSK modulation with a programmable loop bandwidth for multi-rate communication. The TVWS transceiver is implemented in $0.13{\mu}m$, 1-poly, 6-metal CMOS technology. The die area of the transceiver is $4mm{\times}3mm$. The power consumption levels of the transmitter and receiver are 64.35 mW and 39.8 mW, respectively, when the output-power level of the transmitter is +10 dBm at a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The phase noise of the PLL output at Band 2 is -128.3 dBc/Hz with a 1 MHz offset.
