The large-area high-power radio-frequency (RF) driven ion sources based on the negative hydrogen (deuterium) ion beam extraction are the major components of neutral beam injection (NBI) systems in future large-scale fusion devices such as an ITER and DEMO. Positive hydrogen (deuterium) RF ion sources were the major components of the second NBI system on ASDEX-U tokamak. A test large-area high-power RF ion source (LAHP-RaFIS) has been developed for steady-state operation at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to extract the positive ions, which can be used for the NBI heating and current drive systems in the present fusion devices, and to extract the negative ions for negative ion-based plasma heating and for future fusion devices such as a Fusion Neutron Source and Korea-DEMO. The test RF ion source consists of a driver region, including a helical antenna and a discharge chamber, and an expansion region. RF power can be transferred at up to 10 kW with a fixed frequency of 2 MHz through an optimized RF matching system. An actively water-cooled Faraday shield is located inside the driver region of the ion source for the stable and steady-state operations of RF discharge. The characteristics and uniformities of the plasma parameter in the RF ion source were measured at the lowest area of the expansion bucket using two RF-compensated electrostatic probes along the direction of the short- and long-dimensions of the expansion region. The plasma parameters in the expansion region were characterized by the variation of loaded RF power (voltage) and filling gas pressure.

RTEMS는 GPLv2 기반의 라이선스를 사용하는 오픈소스 실시간 운영체제로 인공위성과 같은 항공우주 분야의 시스템에서 사용된다. 이러한 시스템들은 하드웨어 플랫폼과 관련된 문제로 인해 개발 환경 구축이 어려우며, 가상화 기술을 통해 이를 해결할 수 있다. 그러나 가상화 오버헤드로 인한 실행 시간증가와 성능 저하가 실시간 응용의 시간 동작을 변화시키며, 따라서 이를 최소화해야한다. 본 논문에서는 RTEMS를 위한 virtio front-end 네트워크 드라이버를 구현하여 네트워크 I/O 가상화 오버헤드를 완화시킨다. 또한 구현된 드라이버를 오픈소스 소프트웨어 기여를 위해 RTEMS 커뮤니티에 제출하는 과정과 커뮤니티의 다양한 요구사항들을 반영하는 과정을 설명한다.

This study presents the design and experimental result of a GaN-based DC-DC converter with an integrated gate driver. The GaN device is attractive to power electronic applications due to its superior device performance. However, the switching loss of a GaN-based power converter is susceptible to the common source inductance, and converter efficiency is severely degraded with a large loop inductance. The objective of this study is to achieve high-efficiency power conversion and the highest power density using a multiphase integrated half-bridge GaN solution with minimized loop inductance. Before designing the converter, several GaN and Si devices were compared and loss analysis was conducted. Moreover, the impact of common source inductance from layout parasitic inductance was carefully investigated. Experimental test was conducted in buck mode operation at 48 -12 V, and results showed a peak efficiency of 97.8%.

Large-area RF-driven ion source is being developed at Germany for the heating and current drive of ITER plasmas. Negative hydrogen (deuterium) ion sources are major components of neutral beam injection systems in future large-scale fusion experiments such as ITER and DEMO. RF ion sources for the production of positive hydrogen ions have been successfully developed at IPP (Max-Planck- Institute for Plasma Physics, Garching) for ASDEX-U and W7-AS neutral beam injection (NBI) systems. In recent, the first NBI system (NBI-1) has been developed successfully for the KSTAR. The first and second long-pulse ion sources (LPIS-1 and LPIS-2) of NBI-1 system consist of a magnetic bucket plasma generator with multi-pole cusp fields, filament heating structure, and a set of tetrode accelerators with circular apertures. There is a development plan of large-area RF ion source at KAERI to extract the positive ions, which can be used for the second NBI (NBI-2) system of KSTAR, and to extract the negative ions for future fusion devices such as ITER and K-DEMO. The large-area RF ion source consists of a driver region, including a helical antenna (6-turn copper tube with an outer diameter of 6 mm) and a discharge chamber (ceramic and/or quartz tubes with an inner diameter of 200 mm, a height of 150 mm, and a thickness of 8 mm), and an expansion region (magnetic bucket of prototype LPIS in the KAERI). RF power can be transferred up to 10 kW with a fixed frequency of 2 MHz through a matching circuit (auto- and manual-matching apparatus). Argon gas is commonly injected to the initial ignition of RF plasma discharge, and then hydrogen gas instead of argon gas is finally injected for the RF plasma sustainment. The uniformities of plasma density and electron temperature at the lowest area of expansion region (a distance of 300 mm from the driver region) are measured by using two electrostatic probes in the directions of short- and long-dimension of expansion region.

A high efficiency and low cost sustain driver for a plasma display panel (PDP) utilizing a current pumping method is proposed. The main concept of the proposed circuit is using the current source to charge and discharge the panel. As a result, all power switches can achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) and every auxiliary switch can also achieve zero current switching (ZCS). Since the inductor current can compensate for the discharge current, the current stress of all the power switches can be reduced considerably. Furthermore, it has features such as a simpler structure, less mass, lower cost, and lower electromagnetic interference than in previous circuits.

System on Panel (SOP) can integrate many functions by Thin Film Transistor (TFT) circuits on an insulator substrate without using external driver LSIs. However, to make practical SOP has become more and more difficult because of rapid cost reduction of the driver LSIs. This paper will review the circuit design technology trend for SOP and introduce an example of a practical SOP, 2.0inch QVGA full color active matrix OLED with 8bit source driver.

A Novel level-shifter circuit for Display Panel Driver is presented. A Proposed level-shifter is for the high speed and high-voltage driving capability. In order to achieve this purpose, the proposed level-shifter restricts and separates the Vgs of the output driver's pull-up PMOS and pull-down NMOS with Zener diode. And a speed-up PMOS transistor is introduced to reduce delay. The control signal of speed-up PMOS was designed by bootstrapping method to minimize the gate to source (Vgs) voltage to avoid Vgs breakdown.

In this paper, a cost-effective PDP driving circuit using the transformer network is proposed. Compared with the previous works, the half-bridge type energy recovery circuit recovers the reactive energy not to the capacitor but to the source. A single sustain board architecture removes the blocking switches which are placed on the discharge path in parallel, thus reducing the number of devices. A simple reset circuit generates the same waveforms as the previous approaches. The circuit configuration and modified driving waveforms are compared with the previous works. The validity of the proposed simplified driver is verified through tests using a 6-inch panel.
