In this paper, a system of automatic placement and routing for gate array layout design is proposed. In the placement stage, the circuit is partitioned and using the concept of min-cut slicing, and each partitioned module is placed, so that the routing density over the entire chip be uniformized and the total wiring length be minimized. In the global routing stage, the concept of the probabilistic routing density is introduced to unify the wiring congestions in each channel. In the detailed routing stage, the multi-terminal nets are partitioned into the two-terminal nets. The ordered channel graph is proposed which implies the vertical and the horizontal constranint graphs simultaneously. And using the ordered channel graph, the proposed routing algorithm assigns the signal nets to the tracks. Also the proposed placement and routing algorithms are implimented on IBM/PC-AT to construct PC-level gate array layout system.

We present a fast, constructive algorithm for the automatic placement of standard cells, which consists of two steps. The first step is responsible for cell-row assignment of each cell, and converts the circuit connectivity into a multi-stage graph under to constraint that sum of the cell-widths in each stage of the multi-state graph does not exceed maximum cell-row width. Generatin of feed-through cells in the final layout was shown to be drastically reduced by this step. In the second step, the position of each cell within the row is determined one by one from left to right so that the cost function such as the local channel density is minimized. Our experimental result shows that this algorithm yields near optimal results in terms of the number of feed-through cells and the horizontal tracks, while running about 100 times faster than other iterative procedures such as pairwise interchange and generalized force directed relaxation method.

This paper presents a new PWM DC/DC converter with dual output power using single power stage, which has the isolation characteristics between each dual output. The proposed converter topology consists of two switches ($S_B$ and $S_F$) and only single secondary winding. Therefore, the proposed converter has better advantages of not only low cost and small size but also high power density because of using minimum components and devices compared with conventional methods which use multi winding transformers or several converters. The operating principle of the proposed converter topology, which includes the conventional auxiliary ZVT (Zero-Voltage-Transition) circuit to implement soft switching of the main switch, is illustrated in detail and the validity of the proposed converter is verified through several simulated and experimental results.

In this paper, a low noise amplifier having high gain and low noise by using input and inter stage matching circuits has been designed. A current-reused two-stage common-source topology is adopted, which can obtain high gain and low power consumption. Deterioration of noise characteristics according to the source inductive degeneration matching is compensated by adopting additional matching circuits. Moreover trade-offs among noise, gain, linearity, impedance matching, and power dissipation have been considered. In this design, 0.18-mm CMOS process is employed for the simulation. The simulated results show that the designed low noise amplifier can provide high power gain and low noise characteristics.

A new zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) push-pull pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter is proposed in this paper. The wide ZVS condition for all of the switches is obtained by utilizing the energy stored in the output inductor and magnetizing inductance. As a result, the switching losses can be dramatically reduced. A simple auxiliary circuit including two small diodes and one capacitor is added at the secondary side of a high frequency (HF) transformer to reset the primary current during the circulating stage and to clamp the voltage spike across the rectifier diodes, which enables the use of low-voltage and low-cost diodes to reduce the conducting and reverse recovery losses. In addition, there are no active devices or resistors in the auxiliary circuit, which can be realized easily. A detailed steady operation analysis, characteristics, design considerations, experimental results and a loss breakdown are presented for the proposed converter. A 500 W prototype has been constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed concept.

This paper presents mathematical models for high speed permanent-magnet synchronous machine. The mathematical method with two successive steps is used to estimate design parameter as well as the output power. At first, mathematical model for a linkage flux problem is employed to calculate the number of winding turns and stack length of armature core. The magnetic circuit model for an induced voltage and the electric circuit model for a current are modeled. The output powers of the electrical generator were evaluated by the mathematical techniques. The results of this mathematical methods predict the specifications of the machine and can be applied in the design stage of the electrical machine.

A lithium polymer battery-based 9 kJ/s high-voltage capacitor charger, which comprises two stages, is proposed. A modified LCC resonant converter and resonant circuit are introduced at the first and second stages, respectively. In the first stage, the methods for handling low-voltage and high-current batteries are considered. Delta-wye three-phase transformers are used to generate a high output voltage through the difference between the phase and line-to-line voltages. Another method is placing the series resonant capacitor of the LCC resonant components on the transformer secondary side, which conducts considerably low current compared with the transformer primary side. On the basis of the stable operation of the first charging stage, the secondary charging stage generates final output voltage by using the resonance. This additional stage protects the rectifying diodes from the negative voltage when the output capacitor is discharged for a short time. The inductance and capacitance of the resonance components are selected by considering the resonance charging time. The design procedure for each stage with the aforementioned features is suggested, and its performance is verified by not only simulation but also experimental results.

본 논문에서는 새로운 개념의 공정 검출 회로를 제안하였다. 제안된 공정 검출 회로는 장채널 트랜지스터와 최소의 배선폭을 갖는 단채널 트랜지스터 사이의 공정변수의 차이를 비교한다. 이 회로는 공정 변이에 따라 발생하는 캐리어 이동도의 차이를 이용하여 이에 비례하는 차동 전류를 생성해 낸다. 이 방법에서는 고 이득 연산증폭기를 사용한 궤환 회로를 구현함으로써 두 개의 트랜지스터의 드레인 전압이 같아지도록 유지한다. 또한, 본 논문은 제안한 자기-바이어스 슈퍼 MOS 복합회로를 이용하여 고 이득 자기-바이어스 rail-to-rail 연산증폭기를 설계하는 새로운 방법을 소개한다. 설계된 연산증폭기의 이득은 단상의 $0.2V{\sim}1.6V$ 공통모드 범위에서 100dB 이상으로 측정되었다 최종적으로, 제안한 공정 검출 회로는 차동 VCO 회로에 직접 적용하였으며, 설계된 VCO 회로를 통해서 공정 검출 회로가 공정 코너들을 성공적으로 보상하고 광범위한 동작 영역에서 안정된 동작을 수행함을 확인할 수 있었다.

CCD 이미지 센서는 온도에 민감하다. 일반적으로 낮은 효율을 갖는 PMIC에 의해 열이 발생된다. 발생된 열은 CCD 이미지 센서의 성능에 영향을 미치므로 높은 효율을 갖는 PMIC를 사용함으로써 최소화 시켜야 한다. 고효율의 PMIC개발을 위해 입력단은 동기식 step down DC-DC컨버터로 설계하였다. 제안한 PMIC의 입력범위는 5V~15V이고 PWM 제어방식을 사용하였다.

Charge pump의 출력은 PMIC의 출력단인 LDO의 입력으로 연결된다. PWM 제어회로와 Charge pump 그리고 LDO로 구성된 PMIC는 15V, -7.5V, 5V, 3.3V의 출력전압을 갖는다. 제안한 PMIC는 0.35um 공정으로 설계하였다.
