The switching device in an inductive circuit is stressed by the over-voltage at the turn-off time. Thus if the peak value of the over-voltage is not properly limited, the switching device may be broken. Therefore, the snubber circuit should be added to protect the switching device from the over-voltage. The circuit designer must be familiar with the design of the snubber This paper tests the possibility that TVS instead of the conventional snubber can be applied to the protection circuit of the switching device without using the complicated design equations, and shows that the rating of TVS can be easily selected by considering only several parameters of TVS. The experimental results show the reduced switching voltage of the switching device at the turn-off time.

빔의 열적효과는 세포조직의 서로 다른 구성성분과 레이저 빔의 서로 다른 파장에서 다른결과를 나타내며 세포조직에서 온도증가는 먼저 응고가 이루어지고, 절단이나 탄화과정이 일어나며 $300^{\circ}$이상에서는 세포조직의 파괴에 의한 증발이 발생하게 된다. $CO_2$ 레이저는 최소한 조직손상으로 이러한 효과를 얻는데 최적이라고 보며 0.1mm의 최소한의 세포조직 깊이에서 일어나는 효과의 근본적인 장점은 생체조직이나 내장기관에 안정적이다. $CO_2$레이저사용에 있어서 단점은 무엇보다도 세포파괴에서 생성되는 입자들의 부품흡착 등으로 결과적으로 레이저의 출력감소가 일어나는데, 영 전압, 영 전류 스위칭 포워드 컨버터를 도입하여 기존의 하드 스위칭 포워드 컨버터에 있어서 Turn-off, on시 발생되는 스위칭 방식을, 적용함으로써 1차 측 스위칭 소자의 Turn-off, on시 영전압, 영전류 스위칭을 이루어 정밀도가 요구되는 산부인과용 $CO_2$ 연속 형 레이저의 고압출력 모듈에 따른 펄스 트랜스의 안정화에 필수적으로 기여하며, 레이저 출력과 안정화가 되도록 설계 및 제작한 결과, 기존제품보다 향상된 결과를 가져왔다. 추후 시스템적으로 보완을 하면 우수한 결과가 될 것으로 사려된다.

This paper treats the analytical and experimental studies on the improvement of commutating circuit for the speed control of DC motor. A simple circuit composed of R, L and C elements is proposed here for switching off power SCR carrying the load current. The real important in this chopper circuit is to determine the reasonable values of commutating circuit constants. In this paper, the reasonable values of the commutating circuit constants are basically determined on a view point of commutating performances in the given circuit model and must satisfy the following conditions. The first, the peak commutating current should be larger than the anticipated maximum load current. The second, the circuit turn-off time (tc) must be longer than the SCR turn-off time (tq). The third, the resistor should be enough large to permit the current to be neglected in the analysis of the commutation circuit, as well as be enough small to permit to charge the capacity voltage (Ec) to the half the value of source voltage (E) before the next communication cycle is initiated. The last, the period of chopping signal must be the least possible multiple of the damping vibration period of commutating circuit. The improved chopper circuit used in the experiment under unloaded condition was composed to meet the reasonable conditions mentioned above, and a successful commuting performance was achieved without failure. Several types of microprocessor having a different value of CPU speed individually have been applied to the experiment under the loaded conditions. Also it shows that the faster the speed of CPU is, the more stable the commutation turns out.

PURPOSES : Road lighting facilities increase the visibility of road at night in order to improve traffic driver safety and comfort. Generally speaking, current pole lighting has a tendency to create problems of glare and flicker. The phenomenon of glare gives discomfort due to increase of scattered light, when high luminance is in driver's field of view. The phenomenon of flicker occurs due to the driver passing through discontinuous pockets of pole lighting areas. These phenomenon increase eye strain and decrease driver safety. METHODS : Low height line lighting that distributes light lower than driver's eye level has been developed and evaluated to reduce the problems linked to current pole lighting. A test was undertaken with 4 conditions(turn on the general pole lighting, turn off alternate pole lighting, turn on the line lighting and line lighting with 50% dimming). A driver written survey was conducted in order to gain driver feedback. RESULTS : Pupil size and brow frequency compared with degree in pole lighting are reduced. CONCLUSIONS : Low height line lighting environment makes drivers more comfortable than pole lighting environment and is positive lighting method in the energy saving and landscape aspect.

This paper proposes a soft-switching bidirectional dc-dc converter (BDC) with an auxiliary circuit. The proposed BDC can achieve the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) using an auxiliary circuit in the buck and boost operations. The auxiliary circuit supplies optimal energy for the ZVS operation of the main switches. The auxiliary circuit consists of a resonant inductor, a back-to-back switch and two capacitors. A small-sized resonant inductor and an auxiliary switch with a low-rated voltage can be used in the auxiliary circuit. Zero-current switching (ZCS) turn-on and turn-off of the auxiliary switches are possible. The proposed soft-switching scheme has a look-up table for optimal switching of the auxiliary switches. The proposed strategy properly adjusts the turn-on time of the auxiliary switch according to the load current. The proposed BDC is verified by the results of PSIM simulations and experiments on a 3-kW ZVS BDC system.

LED lamps are appropriate to the light source for use in broadcasting lighting. When the lighting frequency of LED lamp is different from the shutter frequency of camera, however, the flicker appears on the moving image which is taken by the camera under the dimmed light of LED lamp with conventional dimming methods. In this study, a new dimming method for the LED lamps used as the broadcasting lighting is proposed to minimize the flicker. A lighting period in the proposed dimming method is divided into the several sub-periods which have weight of the bits. Also, the proposed dimming method has characteristics that are optimizing the turn-on timings of two LED lamps to reduce the turn-off periods of the lamps and not to overlap the turn-on periods of the lamps. In the experiments, the incidence of the flicker is taken by the camera under several lighting conditions of the conventional dimming methods and the proposed dimming method. In addition, the brightness values of the frames are obtained in the moving image, and incidence of the flicker is evaluated and compared with conventional methods. From the results, the incidence of the flicker in the proposed method is more improved than the conventional methods.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the improved reliability and optimal control of the half-bridge inverter for induction heating system. Parasitic inductance components within the inverter circuit for induction heating including the loss-less turn-off snubber capacitor considerably affect stable operation and noise level of the system. This paper analyzes the effect of the inductance in detail and presents a new snubber configuration suitable for the half-bridge inverter to effectively reduce it. In the half-bridge inverter for induction heating the capacity of the loss-less snubber capacitor determines the switching losses because the zero voltage turn-on switching is used. However, the increase of the capacitor is limited by the system specifications, so that it is not easy work to reduce the switching loss. To effectively overcome the limitation, this paper introduces an active auxiliary resonant circuit suitable for the half-bridge inverter circuit, which operates actively according to the variation of load condition. It is also one of the most important study issues for the half-bridge inverter driven induction heater that the development of optimal control scheme considering varied load condition should be achieved. The control strategy ensures a very stable operation of overall inverter system and zero voltage turn-on switching irrespective of sensitive load parameter variations, in particular, even under the non-magnetic materials.

모든 사물들이 인터넷에 연결되는 사물 인터넷 시대에 즈음하여 본 논문에서는 라즈베리파이와 지그비를 이용하여 실내의 LED 조명등과 멀티탭을 on/off 하고 조명등의 밝기와 출입문의 전자 도어락을 스마트폰으로 원격 제어하는 시스템을 제안한다. 라즈베리파이에 적외선 송신 모듈을 연결하여 리모트컨트롤이 가능한 에어컨 등의 가전제품을 스마트폰 어플로 제어했으며 실내의 영상, 실내온도, 조도 등을 모니터링 했다. 리모트컨트롤이 가능한 모든 가전제품들을 원격 제어하기 위해서는 IR 송신코드를 알아내어야 하는데 AVR 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용해서 IR 송신코드를 알아내는 방법을 제안했다. 상용의 사무실용 도어락을 개조하여 원격으로 개폐하는 방법을 제안했다. LED 조명의 밝기는 ATmega88로 PWM 신호를 발생시켜서 0에서 10 레벨까지 컨트롤했고 멀티탭의 제어는 ATmega32와 포토커플러, TRIAC를 사용하였다. 측정된 온도 및 조도는 Tiny44A를 사용하여 A/D 변환되고 SPI 통신으로 라즈베리파이에게 송신된다. 카메라는 라즈베리파이의 CSI(Camera Serial Interface) 헤드에 연결하였다. 스마트 멀티탭은 일정시간 동안 on 시킬 수 있고 미래시점에 on이 되도록 예약할 수 있다. 대기전력을 줄이기 위해서는 수동으로 멀티탭의 콘센트를 뽑거나 스위치을 꺼면 되지만 스위치를 꺼지 않고 외출한 경우에도 스마트폰으로 원격 제어하여 스위치를 꺼면 대기전력을 줄이는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

A new multi-output LLC resonant converter is proposed for high efficiency and low cost plasma display panel (PDP) power module. In the proposed converter, zero-voltage (ZV) turn-on of the primary MOSFETs and zero-voltage (ZC) turn-on and turn-off of the secondary diodes are guaranteed in the overall input voltage and output load ranges. In addition, the primary MOSFETs and the secondary diodes have the low voltage stresses clamped to input and the output voltages, respectively. Therefore, the proposed converter shows the high efficiency due to the minimized switching and conduction losses. Moreover, by employing the transformer with multiple secondary windings, the proposed converter can have multiple outputs, which show the great crossregulation characteristics. Therefore, the proposed converter is suitable for high efficiency and low cost PDP power module.

Resonant converters have attracted a lot of attention because of their high efficiency due to the soft-switching performance. An isolated high step-up converter with secondary-side resonant loops is proposed and analyzed in this paper. By placing the resonant loops on the secondary side, the current stress for the resonant capacitors is greatly reduced. The power loss caused by the equivalent series resistance of the resonant capacitor is also decreased. Clamp diodes in parallel with the resonant capacitors ensure a unique discontinuous current mode in the converter. Under this mode, the active switches can realize soft-switching during both turn-on and turn-off transitions. Meanwhile, the reverse-recovery problems of diodes are also alleviated by the leakage inductor. The converter is essentially a step-up converter. Therefore, it is helpful for decreasing the transformer turn-ratio when it is applied as a high step-up converter. The steady-state operation principle is analyzed in detail and design considerations are presented in this paper. Theoretical conclusions are verified by experimental results obtained from a 500W prototype with a 35V-42V input and a 400V output.
