본 논문에서는 램프가 한개 이상 개방 시 피드백 제어 회로를 동작하지 않도록 하면서, 램프를 보호할 수 있는 개방전압을 출력하는 LCD 백라이트 구동용 인버터 회로도에 관한 것이다. 램프 개방전압 출력을 위한 회로는 램프 전류 피드백 블록, 개방전압시 이상신호를 감지하는 전압 피드백 블록, 램프 개수에 상관없이 최고치 값을 감지하는 블록으로 되어 있다. 전술한 회로가 내장된 인버터는 램프의 개방 시 램프의 개수 상관없이 CCFL의 보호 스펙인 2500V의 개방전압을 출력한다. 이러한 인버터가 내장된 LCD패널은 향상된 안정화 동작을 구현하게 된다.

In this paper, a thermal energy harvesting circuit with MPPT control is designed. MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control function is implemented using the linear relationship between the open-circuit voltage of a thermoelectric generator(TEG) and its MPP voltage. The designed MPPT control circuit traces the maximum power point by periodically sampling the open circuit voltage of a TEG, makes the reference voltages using sampled voltage and delivers the maximum available power to load. Simulation results show that the maximum power efficiency of the designed circuit is 94%. The proposed thermal energy harvesting circuit is designed with $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and the chip area except PAD is $1168.7{\mu}m{\times}541.3{\mu}m$.

This paper presents a characterization method for faults of circuit patterns on MCM(Multichip Module) or PCB(Printed Circuit Board) substrates with electron beams of a SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) by inducing voltage contrast on the signal line. The experimentation employes dual potential electron beams for the fault characterization of circuit patterns with a commercial SEM without modifying its structure. The testing procedure utilizes only one electron gun for the generation of dual potential electron beams by two different accelerating voltages, one for charging electron beam which introduces the yield of secondary electron $\delta$ < 1 and the other for reading beam which introduces $\delta$ > 1. Reading beam can read open's/short's of a specific net among many test nets, simultaneously discharging during the reading process for the next step, by removing its voltage contrast. The experimental results of testing the copper signal lines on glass-epoxy substrates showed that the state of open's/short's had generated the brightness contrast due to the voltage contrast on the surface of copper conductor line, when the net had charged with charging electron beams of 7KV accelerating voltages and then read with scanning reading electron beams of 2KV accelerating voltages in 10 seconds. The experimental results with Au pads of a IC die and Au plated Cu pads of BGA substrates provided the simple test method of circuit lines with 7KV charging electron beam and 2KV reading beam. Thus the characterization method showed that we can test open and short circuits of the net nondestructively by using dual potential electron beams with one SEM gun.

In this paper a solar energy harvesting system with low-cost MPPT control for low duty-cycled sensor nodes is proposed. The targeted applications are environment, structure monitoring sensor nodes that are not required successively to operate, and MPPT(Maximum Power point Tracking) control using simple circuits is low-cost differently than existing MPPT control. The proposed MPPT control is implemented using linear relationship between the open-circuit voltage of a solar cell. The designed MPPT circuit traces the maximum power point by sampling periodically the open circuit voltage of the solar cell and delivers the maximum available power to the load. The proposed circuit is designed in 0.35um CMOS process. The designed chip area is $975um{\times}1025um$ including pads. Measured results show that the designed system can track the MPP voltage by sampling periodically the open circuit voltage of solar cell.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the output matching network based on the harmonic control circuit is presented for improving the phase noise property. The phase noise suppression is achieved through the harmonic control circuit having the short impedances for both second-harmonic and third-harmonic components, which has been connected at the output matching network. Also, we have used the microstrip square open loop multiple split-ring resonator(OLMSRR) having the high-Q property to further reduce the phase noise of VCO. Because the output matching network based on the harmonic control circuit has been used for reducing the phase noise property instead of the High-Q resonator, we can obtain the broad tuning range by the low-Q resonator. The phase noise of the proposed VCO using the output matching network based on the harmonic control circuit and the microstrip square OLMSRR has been $-127.5{\sim}126.33$ dBc/Hz @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.744{\sim}5.839$ GHz. Compared with the reference VCO using the output matching network without the harmonic control circuit and the microstrip line resonator, the phase noise property of the proposed VCO has been improved in 26.66 dB.

현재 산업용으로 많이 쓰이고 있는 연축전지나 Alkali 전지의 충전용 충전기가 반도체화 이후 Thyristor식 자동충전기로 전환되고 있는데 발맞추어 본 연구에서는 현재의 충전기로서의 장점을 충분히 가지고 있으면서 부하단자가 단락되거나 개방되거나 또는 전원이 잘못 접속될 경우에도 충전기 부하나 회로를 충분히 보호할 수 있는 충전기를 설계하고져 했다. 본 연구의 연구대상은 Battery의 잔류전압을 이용한 UJT 이장발진기로 구동되는 SCR식 충전기 회로이다. 아울러 Soft start 회로와 동기회로 그리고 Pulse 증폭회로를 첨가시켜 보다 충전특성을 향상시켰으며 엄밀한 특성시험, 즉 지연회로 시험, 출력단자 개방시험, 단락시험, 출력단자 오결선시험등을 통해 여러가지 장해가 없음을 확인했다. 그리고 가급적 휴대가 가능하도록 소형화 시키면서 누구나 손쉽게 조작할 수 있는 간편하고 실용적인 충전기를 설계하는데 힘썼다. 그래서 다음과 같은 장점을 본래의 장점에다 부가시킬 수 있었다. (가) Soft start 회로를 첨가시켜 평균 30-50sec의 지연시간을 얻을 수 있었다. (나) 동기회로를 별도로 첨가시켜 Pulse 신호의 동기를 확실하게 할 수 있었다. (다) Pulse 증폭회로를 사용하여 SCR의 제어능력을 확실하게 할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 충전기는 Trickle 충전을 제외한 초충전 균등충전 부동충전 보정충전 급속충전등을 자유로이 할 수 있었고 소형 경량이고 취급이 간편하여 실용적이라고 본다. 그러나 여러가지 조건하에서의 현장실험을 다해보지 못한 것이 약간 아쉽다.
