The widely used power supply (Switched Mode Power Supply : SMPS) as a source in order to stabilize direct current for electronics or communication systems has merits, when it is compared to the existing source for stability, such as high efficiency, small size, light weight by means of switching process of the semiconductor device which controls the flow of power. However, due to existence of inductors and capacitors used for charging energy, the source part in electronic or communication systems hasn't reached the speed, that is supposed to get, for achieving smaller size and lighter weight. In order to get smallness in size, it is necessary to increase switching frequency. And that makes devices for measuring energy smaller. Nevertheless, the rise switching frequency brings increases in switching loss, inductor loss, and power loss. Also, the occurrence of surge and noise caused by high frequency switching is getting higher. The resonant converter has been considered as one of methods that give solutions for the problems of SMPS and that method have been paid attention as a source technology in electronics and communication.

A proposed soft-switching buck-boost PWM converter has a lot of advantages, Viz., electric isolation, a high power factor, low switching losses, low EMI noise, reduction of the voltage and current stresses, etc. In a new PFC converter, the switching device is replaced by the loss-less snubber circuit to achieve the zero voltage switching (ZVS) at the maximum current. However, the charging current of the capacitor in the loss-less snubber circuit distorts the input current waveforms. To improve the input current waveform, a new duty factor control method is proposed in this paper.

Due to the development of information communication field, the interest of the SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply) is increased. The size and weight of SMPS are decided by inductor, capacitor and transformer. Thus, the low loss converter which is operated in high speed switching is required. The resonant FB DC-DC converter is able to operate in high speed switching and apply to high power field because the switching loss is low. In this thesis, it is proposed to control strategy for constant output power of resonant FB DC-DC converter in variable input voltage. The proposed control system is a digital I-PD type control and apply to phase-shift resonant type controller. The output voltage tracks reference without steady state error in variable input voltage. The validity of proposed control strategy is verified from results of simulation and experiment.

The theroy of variable structure control system (VSS) is applied to the position control for DC servo-motors. In order to use the microcomputer as a control device, the principles of VSS for the continuous-time system are extended to the discrete-time system. A new switching law is proposed to achieve the reduction of chattering. It adds a new switching structure to the conventional switching sturctures. This switching region is set near and including the conventional switching curve. The new algorithm is obtained for single-input second order system, and applied to the position control of a DC servo-motor. Experimental results show that the transient behavior is improved due to the reduction of chattering and good robustness properties are demonstrated.

In this paper, recent researches on new and renewable energy have been conducted due to problems such as energy exhaustion and environmental pollution, and new researches on high efficiency and high speed switching are needed. Therefore, we compared the efficiency by using high speed switching devices instead of IGBT which can't be used in high speed switching. The experiment was performed theoretically by applying the same parameters of the high speed switching devices which are the Cool MOS of Infineon Co., SiC C3M of Cree, and GaN FET device of Transform, by implementing the DC-DC boost converter and measuring the actual efficiency for output power and frequency. As a result, the GaN FET showed good efficiency at all switching frequency and output power.

A model predictive control (MPC) method without individual PWM has been recently researched to simplify and improve the control flexibility of a multilevel inverter. However, the input power of each H-bridge cell and the switching frequency of switching devices are unbalanced because of the use of a restricted switching state in the MPC method. This paper proposes a control method for balancing the switching patterns and cell power supplied from each isolated dc source of a cascaded H-bridge inverter. The supplied dc power from isolated dc sources of each H-bridge cells is balanced with the proposed cell balancing method. In addition, the switching frequency of each switching device of the CHB inverter becomes equal. A simulation and experimental results are presented with nine-level and five-level three-phase CHB inverter to validate the proposed balancing method.

Since feedback field-effect transistors (FBFETs) have ideal switching characteristics resulting from feedback phenomenon caused by electrons and holes in the channel region, the researches about FBFET devices have been proposed and demonstrated worldwide recently. The device operated with novel principle can operate as a switching electronic device. Besides, because the hysteresis characteristics of the device by accumulated electrons and holes in channel region can be also utilized for memory applications, its application range is wide. In this paper, we cover various device structures of FBFET proposed until now and their operation mechanism, and then look into their applicable fields.

By incorporating a 966nm near infrared laser, we demonstrated bidirectional current triggering of between 0 and 10mA in a two-terminal planar device based on a highly resistive vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) thin film grown by a pulsed laser deposition method. A two-terminal planar device, which had an electrode separation of $100{\mu}m$ and a $50{\mu}m-wide$ $VO_2$ conducting layer, was fabricated through ion beam-assisted milling and photolithographic techniques. A bias voltage range for stable bidirectional current triggering was determined by investigating the current-voltage curves of the $VO_2-based$ device in a current-controlled mode. Bidirectional current triggering of up to 10mA was realized by directly illuminating the $VO_2$ film with a focused infrared laser beam, and the transient responses of triggered currents were analyzed when the laser was modulated at various pulse widths and repetition rates. A switching contrast between off- and on-state currents was evaluated as ~3571, and the rising and falling times were measured as ~40 and ~20ms, respectively.
