오늘날 산업이 발전 할수록 고효율의 전력변환 시스템이 요구되고, 이를 구현하기 위해서는 스위칭 주파수를 높여야 하지만 스위칭 주파수를 높이면 비례적으로 스위칭 손실은 증가하게 되는 문제점이 있다. 때문에 고효율 전력변환 시스템을 구현하기 위해 스위칭 시 손실저감을 위해 소프트 스위칭 기법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 변압기를 사용하여 공진인덕터의 전압을 제한시켜 보조스위치가 영전압/영전류 스위칭을 달성하게 함으로써 보조스위치의 스위칭 손실을 발생시키지 않는 소프트 스위칭 구조를 제안한다.

Novel bipolar transresistance amplifier(TRA) and its offset-compensated TRA for high-performance current-mode signal processing are described. The TRA consist of two current follower for a current inputs, a current summer for the current-difference, a resistor for the current to voltage converter, and a voltage follower for the voltage output. The offset-compensated TRA adopts diode-connected npn and pnp transistor to reduce offset voltage in the TRA. The simulation results show that the TRA has impedance of 0.5 Ω at the input and the output terminal. The offset voltages at these terminals is 40 mV The offset-compensated TRA has the offset voltage of 1.1 mV and the impedance of 0.25 Ω. The 3-dB cutoff frequency is 40 MHz for the two TRA＇s when used as a current to voltage converter with unit-gain transresistance. The power dissipation is 11.25 mW.

Power conversion system generally requires bidirectional converter. A storage energy of reactor is suppressed by regeneration of surplus electic energy in converter to power source. When an electric isolation in the power conversion system is required. the most suitable position for the isolation is the DC-Link part. A transformer in the DC part is minimized because of high repetition frequency. This paper proposes that power conversion system becomes bidirectional DC-DC converter with electric isolation by intergrated voltage control method. It is intergrated voltage control that makes system construciton simple, has control errow little quantity ans gets output response Quick. And the power-switches which should be operated is selected automatically without a detection of the current-direction.

This paper presents a step-down DC-DC converter with On-chip Compensation for battery-operated portable electronic devices which are designed in O.13um CMOS standard process. In an effort to decrease system volume, this paper proposes the on chip compensation circuit using capacitor multiplier method. Capacitor multiplier method can minimize error amplifier's compensation capacitor size by 10%. It allows the compensation block of DC-DC converter be easily integrated on a chip and occupy less layout area. But capacitor multiplier operation reduces DC-DC converter efficiency. As a result, this converter shows maximum efficiency over 87.2% for the output voltage of 1.2V (input voltage : 3.3V), maximum load current 500mA, and 25mA output ripple current. This voltage mode controled buck converter has 1MHz switching frequency.

In this paper, a new NMOS gate cross-connected current-mirror type bridge rectifier for UHF RFID applications is presented. The DC converting characteristics of the proposed rectifier are analyzed with the high frequency equivalent circuit and the gate capacitance reduction technique for reducing the gate leakage current due to the increasing of operating frequency is also proposed theoretically by circuitry method. As the results, the proposed rectifier shows nearly same DC output voltages as the existing NMOS gate cross-connected rectifier, but it shows the gate leakage current reduced to less than 1/4 and the power consumption reduced more than 30% at the load resistor, and it shows more stable DC supply voltages for the valiance of load resistance. In addition, the proposed rectifier shows high enough and well-rectified DC voltages for the frequency range of 13.56MHz HF(for ISO 18000-3), 915MHz UHF(for ISO 18000-6), and 2.45 GHz microwave(for ISO 18000-4). Therefore, the proposed rectifier can be used as a general purpose one to drive RFID transponder chips on various RFID systems which use specified frequencies.

In this paper, a discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) DC-DC buck converter is presented for mobile device applications. The buck converter consists of compensator for stable operations, pulse-width modulation (PWM) logic, and power switches. In order to achieve small hardware form-factor, the number of off-chip components should be kept to be minimum, which can be realized with simple and efficient frequency compensation and digital soft start-up circuits. Burst-mode operation is included for preventing the efficiency from degrading under very light load condition. The DCM DC-DC buck converter is fabricated with 0.18-um BCDMOS process. Programmable output with external resistors is typically set to be 1.8V for the input voltage between 2.8 and 5.0V. With a switching frequency of 1MHz, measured maximum efficiency is 92.6% for a load current of 100mA.

This paper addresses the phase noise analysis of high-speed DH-PLL(Digital Hybrid Phase-Locked Loops) frequency synthesizer. Because of the additional quantization noise of D/A converter in DH-PLL, the phase noise of DH-PLL is increased than the conventional PLL. Three kinds of noise sources such as reference input, D/A converter, and VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) are considered to analyze the phase noise. It largely depends on the closed loop bandwidth and frequency synthesis division ratio(N) so that we can decide the optimal closed loop bandwidth to minimize the phase noise of DH-PLL. It is shown that the simulation results closely match with the results of analytical approach.

The temperature sensor using ring oscillator is designed by 0.18㎛ CMOS process and the supply voltage is 1.5volts. The temperature sensor is designed by using temperature-independent and temperature-dependent ring oscillators and the output frequency of temperature-independent ring oscillator is constant with temperature and the output frequency of temperature-dependent ring oscillator decreases with increasing temperature. To convert the temperature to a digital value the output signal of temperature-independent ring oscillator is used for the clock signal and the output signal of temperature-dependent ring oscillator is used for the enable signal of counter. From HSPICE simulation results, the temperature error is less than form -0.7℃ to 1.0℃ when the operating temperature is varied from -20℃ to 70℃.

본 논문은 하나의 제어 IC로 이중출력 각각 독립 제어가 가능한 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 제안한다. 기존의 이중출력 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 경우 master 출력전압만 제어가 가능하므로, slave 출력의 정밀제어를 위해 별도의 DC/DC 컨버터가 필요하며, 이는 시스템의 전력 변환 효율을 떨어뜨리고 제작단가를 증가시키는 단점이 있다. 반면, 제안된 회로는 LLC 공진형 컨버터의 이중출력을 하나의 제어 IC로 주파수 및 시비율 각각 가변하는 방식으로 개별적 제어가 가능하므로 부하 및 입력전압 조건과 무관하게 모든 출력 전압의 제어를 정밀하게 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 따라서 별도의 DC/DC 컨버터 사용이 불필요하므로 고효율 및 저가격의 특징을 가질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 타당성 검증을 위해 이론적 분석결과를 제시하고 40W급 LED 조명회로에 적용한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 그 우수성을 확인한다.
