A high efficiency ZVS PWM asymmetrical half bridge converter for a plasma display panel (PDP) sustaining power modules is proposed in this paper. To achieve the ZVS of power switches for the wide load range, a small additional inductor L/sub 1kg/, which also acts as an output filter inductor, is serially inserted into the transformer's primary side. At that point, to solve the problem of ringing in the secondary rectifier caused by L/sub 1kg/, the proposed circuit employs a structure without the output filter inductor, which helps the voltages across rectifier diodes to be clamped at the output voltage. Therefore, no dissipative RC (resistor capacitor) snubber for rectifier diodes is needed and a high efficiency as well as low noise output voltage can be realized. In addition, since it has no large output inductor filter, the asymmetrical half bridge converter features a simpler structure, lower cost, less mass, and lighter weight. In addition, since all energy stored in L/sub 1kg/ is transferred to the output side, the circulating energy problem can be effectively solved. The operational principle, theoretical analysis, and design considerations are presented. To confirm the operation, validity, and features of the proposed circuit, experimental results from a 425W, 385Vdc/170Vdc prototype are presented.

A MOSFET's gate driver based on magnetic coupling is investigated. The gate driver can meet the demands in applications for wide range of duty cycles and high frequency. Fully galvanic isolation can be realized, and no auxiliary supply is needed. The driver is insensitive to the leakage inductor of the isolated transformer. No gate resistor is needed to damp the oscillation, and thus the peak output current of the gate driver can be improved. Design of the driving transformer can also be made more flexible, which helps to improve the isolation voltage between the power stage and the control electronics, and aids to enhance the electromagnetic compatibility. The driver's operation principle is analyzed, and the design method for its key parameters is presented. The performance analysis is validated via experiment. The disadvantages of the traditional magnetic coupling and optical coupling have been conquered through the investigated circuit.

The InGaP/GaAs hetero-junction bipolar transistor(HBT) monolithic voltage-controlled dielectric resonator oscillator(VCDRO) is first demonstrated for a Ku-band low noise block down-converter(LNB) system. The on-chip voltage control oscillator core employing base-collector(B-C) junction diodes is proposed for simpler frequency tuning and easy fabrication instead of the general off-chip varactor diodes. The fabricated VCDRO achieves a high output power of 6.45 to 5.31 dBm and a wide frequency tuning range of ]65 MHz( 1.53 $\%$) with a low phase noise of below -95dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset and -115 dBc/Hz at ] MHz offset. A]so, the InGaP/GaAs HBT monolithic DRO with the same topology as the proposed VCDRO is fabricated to verify that the intrinsic low l/f noise of the HBT and the high Q of the DR contribute to the low phase noise performance. The fabricated DRO exhibits an output power of 1.33 dBm, and an extremely low phase noise of -109 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and -131 dBc/Hz at ] MHz offset from the 10.75 GHz oscillation frequency.

본 논문은 외부 커패시터 없이 광범위 하게 높은 전원 공급 잡음 제거비(PSRR)을 갖는 선형 정류기(LDO)에 관한 것이다. 제안된 LDO는 높은 PSRR과 안정도를 유지하기 하기 위해 nested Miller 보상 기술을 사용하였고, 내부적으로 캐스코드(cascode) 보상과 전류버퍼(current buffer) 보상 기술을 사용하였다. 또한 외부의 부하 커패시터가 없기 때문에 외부 하드웨어 비용을 최소화 하였고, 제안된 보상 기법을 사용하여 내부에 작은 커패시터를 사용하고도 안정도를 확보할 수 있었다. 설계된 LDO는 2.5V~4.5V의 입력 전압을 받아서 1.8V의 전압을 출력하고 최대 10mA의 부하 전류를 구동할 수 있다. 일반 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작하였고 면적은 300um X 120um 이다. 측정된 PSRR은 DC일 때 -76dB, 1MHz일 때 -43dB를 만족한다. 동작 전류는 25uA를 소모한다.

A technique to suppress the low frequency ripple voltage of the DC output voltage in three-phase buck diode rectifiers is presented. A pulse frequency modulation method is employed to regulate the output voltage of the rectifier and guarantee zero-current switching of the switch over the wide operating range. The pulse frequency control method used in this paper shows generally good performance such as low THD of the input line current and unity power factor. In addition, the pulse frequency method can be effectively used to suppress the low frequency voltage ripple appeared in the dc output voltage. The proposed technique illustrates its validity and effectiveness through the respective simulations and experiments.

This paper illustrates resonant tank design considerations and the implementation of a LLC resonant converter with a wide battery voltage range based on the fundamental harmonic approximation (FHA) analysis. Unlike the conventional design at zero load, the parameter K (the ratio of the transformer magnetizing inductor L_m to the resonant inductor L_r) of the LLC converter in this paper is designed with two charging points, (V_{o_min}, I_{o_max1}) and (V_{o_max}, I_{o_max2}), according to the battery charging strategy. A 2.9kW prototype with an output voltage range of 36V to 72V dc is built to verify the design. It achieves a peak efficiency of 96%.

수 백 Watt 급의 통신용 장비 등에 적합하도록 고안된, 직렬 연결된 두 개의 트랜스포머를 갖는 새로운 위상천이 풀 브릿지 컨버터를 제시한다. 제안된 회로의 장점은 넓은 입력 범위를 가지며, 경부하에서도 스위치의 영전압 조건을 보다 쉽게 만족시킬 수 있다는 점, 그리고 작은 출력 변동율을 갖는다는 점 등이다. 뿐만 아니라, 직렬로 연결된 두 개의 트랜스포머가 번갈아 가면서 주 트랜스포머로서의 역할과 출력 인덕터로서의 역할을 함께 수행하므로, 출력측에서는 인덕터없이 필터링이 가능하게 되고, 따라서 고전력밀도의 컨버터를 제작할 수 있게 된다. 모드 해석과 대신호 모델링을 통한 설계식의 유도, 그리고 실험 결과를 보여줌으로써 제안된 컨버터를 검증한다.
