An inter-pin skew compensation scheme is proposed, which minimizes the inter-pin skew of parallel interface induced by unequal trace length and loading of printed circuit board (PCB). The proposed scheme measures the inter-pin skew and compensates during power-up with simple hardware. The proposed scheme is applied to 3.2-Gb/s/pin DDR4 SDRAM and implemented in a 0.18 m CMOS process. The inter-pin skew is compensated in 324-cycles of 400-MHz clock and the skew is compensated to be less than 24-ps.

무선 센서네트워크에서의 시각동기는 Wireless USB, WBAN 등의 MAC 계층에서부터 응용 계층에 이르기까지 거의 모든 계층에서 다양한 목적을 위해 매우 중요한 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서네트워크에서의 시각동기를 위한 실시간 클럭 스큐 추정 방법을 제시한다. 재귀적 최소제곱법을 통해 오프셋 보정 정보들을 얻을 때마다 클럭 스큐가 실시간적으로 추정 및 갱신되며, 아울러 스큐 추정을 위해 각 센서노드에 저장해야할 정보를 최소화한다. 제안한 클럭 스큐 추정 방법은 기존의 클럭 오프셋 보정 방법과 쉽게 통합될 수 있으며, 이 경우 보다 정확하고 효율적인 시각동기화가 가능해진다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 클럭 스큐 추정 방법을 통한 시각동기 정확도의 향상을 보인다.

In this paper, the timing do-skew modeling for a high speed logic tester channels is developed. The time delay of each channel in a logic tester are different from other channels and it can produce timing error in a test. To get the best timing accuracy in the test with a logic tester, the timing skew must be compensated. The timing skew of channels is due to the difference of time delay of pin-electronics devices composing channels and length of metal line placed on PCB. The expected timing difference of channels can be calculated according to the specifications of pin electronics devices and strip line modeling of PCB. With the calculated delay time, the timing skew compensation circuit has been designed. With the timing skew compensation circuit, the timing calibration of a logic tester can be peformed easily and automatically without other time measuring instruments. The calibration method can then be directly applied to logic testers in mass production lines.

Twin-servo mechanism is used to increase the payload capacity and speed of high precision motion control system. In this paper, we propose a robust synchronizing motion control algorithm to cancel out the skew motion of twin-servo system caused by different dynamic characteristics of two driving systems and the vibration generated by high accelerating and decelerating motions. This proposed control algorithm consists of separate feedback motion control algorithm of each driving system and skew motion compensation algorithm between two systems. Robust model reference tracking controller is proposed as a separate motion controller and its disturbance attenuation property is shown. For the synchronizing motion, skew motion compensation algorithm is designed, and the stability of whole Closed loop system is proved based on passivity theory.

A twin-servo mechanism is used to increase the payload capacity and assembling speed of high precision motion control systems such as semiconductor chip mounters. In this paper, we focus on the modeling of the twin-servo system and propose its network representation. And also, we propose a robust synchronizing motion control algorithm to cancel out the skew motion of the twin-servo system caused by different dynamic characteristics of two driving systems and the vibration generated by high accelerating and decelerating motions. The proposed control algorithm consists of separate feedback motion control algorithms for each driving system and a skew motion compensation algorithm. A robust tracking controller based on internal-loop compensation is proposed as a separate motion controller and its disturbance attenuation property is shown. The skew motion compensation algorithm is also designed to maintain the synchronizing motion during high speed operation, and the stability of the whole closed loop system is proved based on passivity theory. Finally, experimental results are shown to illustrate control performance.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as an attractive and key research area over the last decade. Time synchronization is a vital part of infrastructure for any distributed system. In embedded sensor networks, time synchronization is an essential service for correlating data among nodes and communication scheduling. This is realized by exchanging messages that are time stamped using the local clocks on the nodes. Various time synchronization protocols have been proposed aiming to attain high synchronization accuracy, high efficiency and low communication overhead. However, it requires that the time between resynchronization intervals to be as large as possible to obtain a system which is energy efficient having low communication overhead. This paper presents a simple but effective skew compensation algorithm that measures the skew rate of the sensor nodes with respect to the reference node and calibrates itself to compensate for the difference in the frequencies of the nodes. The proposed method can be incorporated with any existing time synchronization protocol for WSNs.

무선메쉬네트워크환경을 지원하는 TDMA기반 MAC프로토콜은 기존의 패킷기반인 802.11 DCF/EDCA 프로토콜보다 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만, TDMA기반의 MAC프로토콜은 MP(Mobile Points)들의 발진기(Oscillator) 편차와 분산 환경의 특성으로 인해서 새로운 동기화 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 TDMA기반의 MAC프로토콜에서 동기화 방법을 제안한다. MP들을 동기화 상태에 따라 4가지로 구분해서 MP가 동기화 상태일때 비콘을 이용해서 TDMA프레임의 시작시간을 Time Skew의 변동 범위내에서 결정하도록 한다. Clock Drift에 의해 발생하는 Time Skew는 보정계수를 통해서 자동으로 보정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 제안된 내용을 기반으로 General Time Error값과 Clock Drift Rate가 실험을 통해 안정적이며 최소의 값이 산출되는 것을 확인하였다.

In elliptical vibration cutting (EVC), cutting performance is largely affected by the shape of an elliptical path of the cutting tool. In this study, two parallel piezoelectric actuators were used to make an elliptical vibration cutting device. When harmonic voltages of $90^{\circ}$ out-of-phase are supplied to the EVC device, creation of an ideal elliptical trajectory whose major and minor axes are parallel to the cutting and thrust directions is anticipated from a kinematic analysis of the EVC device, however, the paths we experimentally observed showed significant distortions in its shape ranging from skew to excessive elongation of the major axis of the ellipse. To compensate distortions, an analytical model describing the elliptical path of the cutting tool was developed and verified with experimental results, and based on the analytical model, the distorted elliptical paths created at 100 Hz, 1 kHz, and 16 kHz were corrected for skew and elongation.
