A CMOS-based temperature sensor is proposed for low-voltage and low-power on-chip thermal monitoring applications. The proposed temperature sensor converts a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current to a PTAT frequency using an integrator and hysteresis comparator. In addition, it operates in the subthreshold region, allowing reduced power consumption. The proposed temperature sensor was fabricated in a standard 90 nm CMOS technology. Measurement results of the proposed temperature sensor show a temperature error of between -0.81 and $+0.94^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of 0 to $70^{\circ}C$ after one-point calibration at $30^{\circ}C$, with a temperature coefficient of $218Hz/^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the measured energy of the proposed temperature sensor is 36 pJ per conversion, the lowest compared to prior works.

The DC electrolytic capacitor for DC-link of power converter is widely used in various power electronic circuits and system application. Its functions include, DC Bus voltage stabilization, conduction of ripple current due to switching events, voltage smoothing, etc. Unfortunately, DC electrolytic capacitors are some of the weakest components in power electronics converters. Many papers have proposed different algorithms or diagnosis method to determinate the ESR and tan ${\delta}$ capacitance C for fault alarm system of the electrolytic capacitor. However, both ESR vary with frequency and temperature. Accurate knowledge of both parameters at the capacitors operating conditions is essential to achieve the best reference data of fault alarm. According to parameter analysis, the capacitance increases with temperature and the initial ESR decreases. Higher frequencies make the reference ESR with the initial ESRo value to decrease. Analysis results show that the proposed DC Bus electrolytic capacitor reference ESR model setting technique can be applied to advanced reference signal of capacitor diagnosis systems successfully.

DC Bus Electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in power conversion system because they can achieve high capacitance and voltage ratings with volumetric efficiency and low cost. This type of capacitors have been traditionally used for filtering, voltage smoothing, by-pass and other many applications in power conversion circuits requiring a cost effective and volumetric efficiency components. Unfortunately, electrolytic capacitors are some of the weakest components in power electronic converter. Many papers have proposed different methods or algorithms to determinate the ESR and/or capacitance C for fault diagnosis of the electrolytic capacitor. However, both ESR and C vary with frequency and temperature. Accurate knowledge of both values at the capacitors operating conditions is essential to achieve the best reference data of fault judgement. According to parameter analysis, the capacitance increases with temperature and the ESR decreases. Higher frequencies make the ESR and C to decrease. Analysis results show that the proposed electrolytic capacitor parameter estimation technique can be applied to reference signal of capacitor diagnosis systems successfully.

In order to collect information on local distribution of conductivity and permittivity underneath a scan probe, we developed a multi-frequency trans-admittance scanner (TAS). Applying a sinusoidal voltage with variable frequency on a chosen distal part of a human body, we measure exit currents from 320 grounded electrodes placed on a chosen surface of the subject. The electrodes are packaged inside a small and light scan probe. The system includes one voltage source and 17 digital ammeters. Front-end of each ammeter is a current-to-voltage converter with virtual grounding of a chosen electrode. The rest of the ammeter is a voltmeter performing digital phase-sensitive demodulation. Using resistor loads, we calibrate the system including the scan probe to compensate frequency-dependent variability of current measurements and also inter-channel variability among multiple. We found that SNR of each ammeter is about 85dB and the minimal measurable current is 5nA. Using saline phantoms with objects made from TX-151, we verified the performance of the lesion estimation algorithm. The error rate of the depth estimation was about 19.7%. For the size estimate, the error rate was about 15.3%. The results suggest improvement in lesion estimation algorithm based on multi-frequency trans-admittance data.

A soft switched matrix converter is proposed by adopting the zero voltage switching technique being used in some resonant pole inverters. High operating frequency with safe and efficient switching improves dynamic and spectral performances and simplifies protection logics and snubber networks. Further, it can be implemented using simple analog circuits, having similar transfer characteristics to those of the modern pulse width modulated matrix converters such as, maximum voltage transfer ratio and unity input displacement factor. Analyses, design and simulation results are presented to verify the operating principle.

연료전지 발전시스템에서는 DC-DC 승압용 컨버터와 DC-AC 인버터가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 연료전지의 전압을 380[VDC]로 승압하기 위한 절연형 DC-DC 컨버터와 단상 220[VAC]로 변환하기 위한 LC필터를 가진 PWM 인버터로 구성된 전력변환장치를 제안하였다. 특히 제안한 연료전지 시스템용 고효율 DC-DC 컨버터는 위상천이 PWM 제어법을 이용하여 부분 공진에 의한 ZVS를 실현하였으며, 일정 스위칭 주파수화 및 스위치의 스위칭 손실, 피크 전압과 전류를 저감시켰다. 그리고, 정류회로에 2개의 인덕터를 첨가하여 리플성분이 저감된 직류전압과 전류를 부하측에 안정하게 공급할 수 있었다. 또한, 넓은 출력 전압 조정에도 효율을 92[%]정도 얻을 수 있다. 이상과 같이 결과는 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성을 확인하였다.
