The series connection of power switching semiconductor elements is essential when a high voltage converter is made, so researches are being conducted to further develop this technology. In the series connection of power switching semiconductor elements, the main problem is that simultaneous conduction at turn-on and simultaneous blocking at turn-off together with voltage balancing are unattainable because of the difference of their switching characteristics. In this paper a novel series connection algorithm is proposed, which can implement not only the synchronization of the points of turn-on and turn-off time but the dynamic voltage balancing in spite of the difference of each switching characteristics. The proposed method is that the compensated control signal is attained from the voltage feedback signal and applied to the series-connected power transistors independently. Computer simulation and experimental results verify its validity.

The FLL(frequency locked loop) circuit is used to generate an output signal that tracks an input reference signal. The locking time of FLL is short compared to PLL(phase locked loop) circuit because the output signal of FLL is synchronized only in frequency. Also the FLL is designed to allow the circuit to be fully integrated. In this paper, the temperature stable FLL circuit is designed by using full CMOS transistors. When the temperature is varied from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$, the variation of output frequency is about from -2% to 1.6% from HSPICE simulation results.

This study describes how digital time delay deteriorates control performance in zero voltage switching (ZVS) phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter. The small-signal model of the ZVS PSFB converter is derived from the buck-converter small-signal model. Digital time delay effects have been considered according to the digital sampling methods. The analysis verifies that digital time delays reduce the stability margin of the converter, and the double sampling technique exhibits better performance than the single sampling technique. Both simulation and experimental results based on 250 W ZVS PSFB confirm the validity of the analyses performed in the study.

In precision instrumentation system, an A/D conversion of signal conditioning has been always suffered from some problems ; offset and drift voltage with environmental situation. This paper suggests a method of reducing the offset voltage and the drift error from the A/D conversion hardware using analog signal switching technique with specific operational amplifier circuits. Also, we have designed a hardware active filter and a software digital filter with Auto Zero Tracking algorithm for better dignal process of the our proposed weighing system. Software technique was performed to obtain the stable data from A/D converter. As a result of our experimental works, the proposed system is expected to be used in the industrial field where a high precision measurement is required.

Due to the miniaturization of electrical components and assembles on signal and telecommunication circuits, transient overvoltages caused by switching operation or lightning surge has become more interesting concern to the field of electrical engineering. This paper describes the development of transient voltage blocking devices (TBDs) that can protect sensitive signal and telecommunication devices from overvoltages. Two kinds of TBDs are designed and tested by using a combination surge generator which can produce the standard impulse current of 8/20${\mu}$s 2.1kA according to the IEC 1000-4-5 standard. From the simulation and experimental reults, it is confirmed that the proposed TBD has an enough protection performance in low insertion loss and tight clamping voltage.

We suggest a novel temperature detection method utilized in temperature monitoring system. Suggested method detects temperature variation by using $R_{ds(on)}$ characteristics of MOSFET, while conventional methods are using extra devices such as a temperature sensor or an over-temperature detection transistor. For voltage detection between drain and source, 10 bits resolution ADC is needed. Therefore possible measurement signal range is about ten mV. If detected temperature's voltage exceed protection temperature's voltage then controller generates OT (Over Temperature) signal to stop MOSFET's trigger signal. Whole process of measurement is controlled by software. Experimental results show that the developed temperature monitoring system can provide the suitable temperature monitoring method and difference between detected and data sheet value of the suggested system is about $3\%$.

A resin bonded copper-graphite brush was investigated to evaluate the characteristics electrical signal transmission through a sliding contact as a function of the relative amount of graphite and copper in the brush. Particular attention was given to the correlation between electrical signal fluctuation and tribological properties in an electrical sliding contact system. A ring-on-block type tribotester was used for this experiment and the ring was made from pure copper. Results showed that a copper-graphite brush at a particular composition range exhibited the most stable frictional behavior with a minimum voltage drop. The amount of voltage drop at the friction interface was affected by the surface roughness, transfer film formation at the friction interface, and the real area of contact. Microscopic observations and the surface analysis showed a good agreement with the results from this experiment. The results also indicated that the electrical signal flunctuation was directly associated with the oscillation of the coefficient of friction during sliding by nanoscale variation of contacts at the friction interface.

This research suggested the new algorithm controlled by micro processor which is already stored by various PWM form of output voltage by using fundamental data of the carrier and signal. The determined PWM pattern is not concerned with the signal wave form and the new algorithm can obtain the desired pulse width by synchronous of carrier. The PWM wave can be controlled with real time by using extra hardware and digital software and to speed up program processing, the control signals to switch the power semi-conductor of three phase PWM inverter, simultaneously use the output signal by microprocessor and extra hardware, and control signal by software. In the end, this method was proved by applying to Three phase voltage source inverter.
