This paper presents a secondary-side, dual-mode feedback LLC resonant controller IC with dynamic PWM dimming for LED backlight units. In order to reduce the cost, master and slave outputs can be generated simultaneously with a single LLC resonant core based on dual-mode feedback topologies. Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) schemes are used for the master stage and slave stage, respectively. In order to guarantee the correct dual feedback operation, Phased-Locked Loop (PLL)-based automatic duty control circuit is proposed in this paper. The chip is fabricated using $0.35{\mu}m$ Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology, and the die size is $2.5mm{\times}2.5mm$. The frequency of the gate driver (GDA/GDB) in the clock generator ranges from 50 to 425 kHz. The current consumption of the LLC resonant controller IC is 40 mA for a 100 kHz operation frequency using a 15 V supply. The duty ratio of the slave stage can be controlled from 40% to 60% independent of the frequency of the master stage.

A new approach is presented to design a robust sampled-data controller for an experimental flexible beam carrying an unknown payload at its free end. The purpose of this paper is to move the free end of the beam to a desired position in the specified time under vibration suppression. We derive a transfer function nominal model for the beam and quantitative description of model uncertainties based on experimentally obtained frequency response data. Robust controllers are designed by applying the sampled-data $H_{\infty}$ control and ${\mu}m-theory$, in which two types of uncertainties, structured and unstructured uncertainties, are adopted for satisfactory performance in terms of hinge position regulation and vibration damping, besides obviously asymptotic stability. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through simulation and experimentation.

This paper proposes a robust direct adaptive control system implementation using a 80286 microprocessor-based system for controlling the speed of a DC servo motor. In this paper, assuming that the unmodeled dynamics of the plant are sufficiently small in the low-frequency range, the plant as linear time-invariant system is the second relative degree, we construct the direct adaptive control system with the algorithm considering plant unmodeled dynamics and execute the experiment, and compare the characteristics with those of PI algorithm's. It shows that an easy implementation of the built controller is due to the usage of software for the algorithm.

This paper presents an improved hys- teresis current control method for three-phase PWM power inverters using 3-level comparator. Hysteresis current controller using 3-level comparator has an advantage of constant switching frequency compared with conventional hysteresis current controller. However, this method has disadvantage that the longer sampling period, the larger current error because the switching is performed without considering current error magnitude of each phase. The proposed method improves the control performance by selecting the optimum switching pattern in which the magnitudes of current errors are considered introducing space vector concept. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink show that the proposed control method reduces current error keeping the merit of previous hysteresis current control method.

본 논문에서는 배터리를 사용하는 유틸리티 차량용 컨트롤러 개발과 태양광 발전을 병행하여 차량의 운행시간을 보완하였다. 유틸리티 차량용 컨트롤러는 다른 컨트롤러와 호환성을 유지하고 저가격, 고성능을 위해 마이크로 프로세서를 이용하여 속도센서와 전류센서를 사용하지 않고 타여자 직류 전동기를 제어하였다. 태양광발전을 위해 DC-DC 컨버터를 이용하여 태양전지의 최대 전력점 추종 제어(MPPT)와 출력전류를 제어하여 태양전지와 배터리를 병렬운전하였다. 시스템의 타당성을 모의실험과 시제품의 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

An Optical disk driver is used in many electronic products besides the computers. In particular, the demands are recently increased as an optical disk player/recorder in the mobile products such as camcorder, portable player or in the home theater appliances, etc. However, the more the mobility is emphasized, the more the optical disk player is exposed to the disturbance inputs. For reducing the possibility of malfunction of the optical disk, we propose a nonlinear controller using the disturbance detecting algorithm based on the Kalman filter. Actual experiments were executed to verify the performance of the proposed method. The proposed method controls the tracking error signal within ${\pm}0.1{\mu}m$.

In this paper, we developed remote dimming control system of electronic ballast for 400W metal halide lamp. This ballast could limit ignition current and soft start-up technique by the inverter with LCsCp resonance tank. The dimming circuit can dim from 400W to 200W by varying of the inverter switching frequency. The PLM consists of coupling circuit, BPF(Band-Pass Filter), FSK(Frequency Shift Keying) Modem and ${\mu}$-controller(Micro Controller). By coupling electronic ballast with PLM, the system that able to dimming the lamp through PLM is demonstrated by experimental results.

In this paper, a method of accurate position control using a pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus is presented. To overcome the effect of friction force and transmission line, low friction type cylinder applied externally pressurized air bearing structure is used and two control valves attached both side of the cylinder directly. To compensate nonlinear characteristics of control valves, linearized control input derived from the relation between control input and effective area of control valve, and dither signal are applied to the valve. The controller applied to the pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus is composed of a state feedback controller and a disturbance observer. Experimental results show that the effectiveness of the proposed method and position control error of $5{\mu}m$ accuracy could be obtained easily.

We propose a signaling circuit that can reduce power consumption and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) controller-to-source driver interface. The proposed signaling circuit consists of a coder/decoder that can minimize temporal bit transitions in a transmission line and a current-mode driver that can convert voltage swing into a very small amount of current. We have simulated the proposed signaling circuit using the HSPICE and the proposed signaling circuit has been designed in a 0.25 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

This paper describes the design of a network interface controller (NIC) chip which is to be used to support a novel adaptive virtual cut-through routing method for parallel compute systems with direct (i.e., point-to-point) interconnection networks. The NIC chip is designed to provide the interface between a processing node constructed from commercially available microprocessors and another custom-designed router chip, which in turn performs the actual routing of packets to their respective destinations. The NIC, designed using a semi-full-custom VLSi design technique outperform traditional wormhole routing with a minimal amount of hardware overhead. The NIC design has been fully simulated and laid out using a 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process.
