  • In this paper, we introduce a charge pump PLL architecture which employs precharge phase frequency detector(PFD) and sequential PFD to achieve high frequency operation and fast acquisition. Operation frequency is increased by using precharge PFD when the phase difference is within -${\pi}\;{\sim}\;{\pi}$ and acquisition time is shortened by using sequential PFD and increased charge pump current when the phase difference is larger than |${\pi}$|. SO error detection range of proposed PLL structure is not limited to -${\pi}\;{\sim}\;{\pi}$. By virtue of this multi-phase frequency detector structure, the maximum operating frequency of 423MHz at 2.5V and faster acquisition were achieved by simulation.

  • This paper presents a neutron/gamma detector based on a micropixel avalanche photodiode and a plastic scintillator that monitors the status of the accelerator-driven intense resonance neutron source (IREN) facility by measuring the neutron/gamma intensity in the target hall. The electronics of the neutron/gamma detector has been designed and developed. The size of the plastic scintillator was selected to be 3.7 × 3.7 × 30 mm3 due to the sensitive area of the MAPD. The experimental results demonstrated a dependence between the count rate of the detector and the frequency of the accelerator. The detector is sensitive to intermediate and fast neutrons. The minimum detectable energy was determined to be 200 keV using Cs-137 point gamma source. The maximum counting rate of the detector from TTL out is about 2.2⋅106 counts/sec, but for analogue output it is about 2⋅107 counts/sec. The detector can not allow discriminating neutrons and gamma rays by charge integration method.

  • 본 논문에서는 기존의 fractional-N 위상고정루프의 가장 큰 문제점인 fractional 스퍼를 억제하기 위해 위상차-전압 변환기(Phase Difference-to-Voltage Converter : PDVC)를 도입하였다. PDVC는 위상주파수 검출기 출력 신호의 위상차에 따라 전하펌프의 전류량을 조절한다. 제안한 구조는 위상 주파수 검출기(phase frequency detector) 신호들의 위상차가 커지면 전하펌프(charge pump) 전류를 감소시켜 fractional 스퍼를 줄일 수 있는 구조이다. 회로는 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정의 파라미터를 이용하여 HSPICE로 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 회로의 동작을 검증하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 CMOS 공정을 이용하여 동작온도에 무관한 FVC(Frequency-to-Voltage Convener) 회로를 제안한다. FVC는 FLL(Frequency Locked Loop)의 핵심 회로로서 주파수 신호를 전압신호로 변환하는 회로이다. FLL 회로는 PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) 회로 같이 고정된 주파수 신호를 생성하는 회로지만, PLL과는 달리 위상비교기, charge pump, 저역 필터 등이 필요치 않아 간단히 회로를 구성할 수 있다. FVC 회로의 설계는 $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하였다. 설계되어진 회로의 입력 주파수는 70MHz에서 140MHz를 사용하였다. 회로의 시뮬레이션 결과 동작 온도가 $0^{\circ}C$에서 $75^{\circ}C$까지 변화할 때 변환된 출력 전압의 변화는 상온에 비하여 ${\pm}2%$이내였다.

  • This paper presents a neutron detector configuration using EJ-301 scintillation liquid, a R9420 photo-multiplier and a homemade preamplifier. The detector qualities which include the energy linearity, efficiency response and neutron/gamma discrimination are guaranteed for neutron detection in the energy range from 0 to 3000 keVee. Regarding the neutron/gamma discrimination capability, four pulse shape discrimination (PSD) methods which are the threshold crossing time (TCT), pulse gradient analysis (PGA), charge comparison (CC) and correlation pattern recognition (CPR), were evaluated and discussed; among of these, the CPR method provides the best neutron/gamma discrimination.
