In this paper, the Power Management System(PMS) which based on a decision making system according to power strategy is proposed and implemented. PMS is designed to have functions of power monitoring. controlling, synchronizing load sharing and monitoring of driving engine, etc. PMS consists of the internet communication system(ICS). Remote Management System(RMS) and Sensor Driver System (SDS) ICS transmits the monitoring and supervisory data via Internet to Remote Management System(RMS) in real-time SDS detects various power system data on local generator and utility via I/O interface system. I/O interface system receives various status data and outputs control signals. Implemented PMS is tested with dummy signal to verify proposed functions and shows good results. For future study implemented PMS will be tested under real load condition to merchandize.

Ultra-high-speed analog and digital ICs (integrated circuits) fur 10Gbit/sec optical communication systems have been designed, fabricated and analyzed in this research. These circuits, which are laser diode (LD) driver, pre-amplifier, automatic gain controlled (AGC) amplifier, limiting amplifier and decision circuit, have been implemented with AIGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The optimized AIGaAs/GaAs HBTs for the 10Gbps circuits in this work showed the cutoff and maximum oscillation frequencies of 65㎓ and 53㎓, respectively. It is demonstrated in this paper that the 10Gbps optical communication system can be realized with the ICs designed and fabricated using AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs.

In this paper, novel latch-up prevention method that employs power-up sequential switches has been proposed to relieve latch-up problem in liquid crystal display (LCD) driver ICs. These sequential switches are inserted in the 2'nd and 3'rd boosting stages, and are used to short the emitter-base terminals of parasitic p-n-p-n circuit before relevant boosting stages are activated during power-up sequence. To verily the performance of the proposed method, test chips were designed and fabricated in a 0.13-um CMOS process technology. The measurement results indicated that, while the conventional LCD driver If entered latch-up mode at $50^{\circ}C$ accompanying a significant amount of excess current, the driver IC adopting the proposed method showed no latch-up phenomenon up to $100^{\circ}C$ and maintained normal current level of 0.9mA.

A 70 MHz temperature-compensated on-chip CMOS relaxation oscillator for mobile display driver ICs is proposed to reduce frequency variations. The proposed oscillator compensates for frequency variation with respect to temperature by adjusting the bias currents to control the change in delay of comparators with temperature. A bandgap reference (BGR) is used to stabilize the bias currents with respect to temperature and supply voltages. Additional temperature compensation for the generated frequency is achieved by optimizing the resistance in the BGR after measuring the output frequency. In addition, a trimming circuit is implemented to reduce frequency variation with respect to process. The proposed relaxation oscillator is fabricated using 45 nm CMOS technology and occupies an active area of $0.15mm^2$. The measured frequency variations with respect to temperature and supply voltages are as follows: (i) ${\pm}0.23%$ for changes in temperature from -30 to $75^{\circ}C$, (ii) ${\pm}0.14%$ for changes in $V_{DD1}$ from 2.2 to 2.8 V, and (iii) ${\pm}1.88%$ for changes in $V_{DD2}$ from 1.05 to 1.15 V.

A new two-line based inversion driving method is introduced for low power display-driver ICs. By inserting a timing offset between the chopper stabilization and the alternation of LCD polarity, we can reduce power consumption without noticeable degradation in the display quality. By applying the proposed scheme to 12" LCD applications, we achieved 7.5% and 27% power saving in the display-driver IC with white and black patterns, respectively.

PSPICE modeling of a commercial LED driver IC (TOP245P) and PC817A optocoupler is proposed for the switch-mode power supply (SMPS) (applicable to LED driver) design and simulation. An analog behavioral model of the TOP245P IC including the shunt regulator, under-voltage(UV) detection, over-voltage(OV) shut-down and SR flip-flop is developed by using PSPICE. The empirical equation of PC817A current transfer ratio (CTR) is fitted from the datasheet of PC817A. Two types of SMPSs are simulated with the averaged-model and switching-model. The simulation results by the proposed PSPICE models are in good agreement with those in the data sheet and an experimental data.

We have succeeded in producing the world $1^{st}$ TFT LCD panel adapting the data line sharing method. In the data line sharing structure, two neighboring pixels share one data line. We also adapted time shared data driving with a-Si TFT based circuit integration technology of LG Display's own. By using these technologies, we can reduce the number of source driver ICs by half, compared to that of the existing gate driver integrated TFT LCD panel.

We developed new circuit architecture for reducing the power consumption and chip-size of driver ICs. In this paper we describe a new drive scheme, based on the concept of time -sharing output and optimal circuit design based on color resolution. In case of 132 x 176-pixel class, we used only 8 O p-A mps for a 262-k color display.
