In this paper, since the APD(Avalanche Photo Diode) for LTV(Light to Voltage) conversion uses a high voltage in the operating range unlike other PD(Photo Diode)s, the quenching resistor must be connected in series to prevent overcurrent when using the TIA(Transimpedance Amplifier). In such a case, quenching resistance may affect the transfer function of the TIA circuit, resulting in serious stability. Therefore, in this paper, by analyzing the effect of APD quenching resistance on the voltage and current loop transfer function of TIA, we propose a loop analysis and a method for determining the quenching resistance value to improve stability. TIA circuit with quenching resistance was designed by the proposed method and the stability of operation was verified through simulation and chip fabrication.

In this paper, the equivalent circuit model of a Rosen-type multilayer piezoelectric transformer(MPT) has been proposed based on the Mason's equivalent circuit model and the principle of single layer piezoelectric plate. From the piezoelectric direct and converse effects, the symbolic expressions between the electric inputs and outputs of the MPT have been derived from the equivalent circuit model. A simplified equivalent circuit model of the MPT whose driving part has a single input form has been proposed. The symbolic expressions of the driving part have been derived from the simplified equivalent circuit model and the model was compared with the multi-input equivalent circuit model through the simulation. In the comparisons between the simulation results and the experimental data, output voltage is 630 Vp-p in case of 11-layered MPT and 670 Vp-p for 13-layered MPT over the experiment range. As the load resistance increases, output voltage increases and saturates over $300k{\Omega}$ and the resonant frequency changes from 102 kHz to 103 kHz. The simulation and the experimental results agree well over different load resistances and frequencies.

The electric power output characteristics of magnesium fuel cell were investigated with regard to internal resistance. A equivalent circuit with the series-connected three internal resistance was introduced to analyze of the response to change of power. The power output analysis was employed in order to investigate the effect of internal resistances for the electrolyte concentration, air electrode area, Mg electrode area and distance between the electrodes. It was confirmed that internal resistance is generated by the electrolyte, air electrode and metal electrode, then those Internal resistances had a significant effect on the power output decrease. The power output was a maximum when the load resistance maches the internal resistance of the magnesium fuel cell. The fuel efficiency was only 50% at maximum power output. Higher fuel efficiency was achieved when the load resistance is greater than the internal resistance.

We investigated the sheet resistance properties of tungsten nitride thin films deposited by RF and DC sputtering system. It deposited at various conditions that determine the sheet resistance. The properties of the sheet resistance of these films were measured under various conditions. Sheet resistance analysed under the flow rate of the argon gas and contents of nitrogen from nitrogen-argon gas mixtures. We found that these sheet resistance were largely depend on the temperature of substrate, gas flow rate and RF power. Very high and low sheet resistance of tungsten films obtained by DC sputtering. As the increase of contents of nitrogen gas obtained from nitrogen-argon gas mixture, tungsten nitride thin films deposited by the reactive DC sputtering and the sheet resistance of these films were increased.

In this study, An active band grass filter for 2.14GHz have been designed with MMIC using negative resistance circuit. The negative resistance element was realized with a common-drain FET with series inductive feedback. The designed active filter showed an insertion loss of 0dB at 2.14GHz and a 3-dB bandwidth of 125MHz.

The oscillating properties of quartz Crystal Microbalance(QCM) were analyzed by electrical measurement. We tried to analyze the properties of quartz crystal coated with Langmuir-Bladgett(LB) films using the frequency and resistance at resonance in the electrical equivalent circuit. The resonant frequency was decreased linearly as to layers of LB films, however, there are some gap between theoretical values, Sauerbrey's equation and experimental values. The resistance was increase nonlinearly as to layers.

To improve the operation error caused by the thermal fluctuation of electrons, we propose a novel single-electron pass-transistor logic circuit employing a multiple-tunnel junction (MTJ) scheme and modulate a parameters of an MTJ single-electron tunneling device (SETD) such as the number of tunnel junctions, tunnel resistance, and voltage gain. The operation of a 3-MTJ inverter circuit is simulated at 15 K with parameters $C_g=C_T=C_{clk}=1\;aF,\;R_T=5\;M{\Omega},\;V_{clk}=40\;mV$, and $V_{in}=20\;mV$. Using the SETD/MOSFET hybrid circuit, the charge state output of the proposed MTJ-SETD logic is successfully translated to the voltage state logic.

It is well known that the maximum torque of a 3-phase induction motor does not vary as the resistance of rotor varies by proportional shifting. However, proportional shifting is derived using simplified equivalent circuit of induction motor. Therefore, there are some errors in the torque characteristics shown in the text book. This paper presents the torque characteristics using not simplified equivalent circuit but equivalent circuit. Errors produced by simplified equivalent circuit are presented.

In integrated circuits, protection circuits are required to protect the internal nodes from the harmful ESD(Electrostatic discharge). This paper discusses the characteristics of the circuit components in ESD protection circuitry in order to analyze the ESD phenomina, and the design methodalogy of ESD protection circuits, using test pattern with a variation of the number of diode and transistor. The test devices are fabricated using a 0.8$\mu$m CMOS process. SPICE simulation was also carried out to relate output node voltage and measured ESD voltage. With increasing number of diodes and transistors in protection circuit, the ESD voltage also increases. The ESD voltage of the bi-directional circuit for both input and output was 100-300[V], which in higher than that of only output(uni-directional) circuit. In addition, the ESD protection circuit with the diode under the pad region was useful for the reduction of chip size and parasitic resistance. In this case, ESD voltage was improved to a value about 400[V].

In this paper the method of constructing short and open stable voltage inversion negative immittance converter (VNIC) circuits is proposed according to simplified equivalent models witch consist of a parameter control circuit, and a voltage or a current control circuit. VNIC characteristics can be obtained as gate voltage of common gate connection is controlled by the output of the parameter control circuit corresponding to its input. Constructed circuits are analysed, and the experimental results are compared and cheeked with the calculated results. Errors are found less than 11%. Oscillation behavior of constructed VNIC oscillator is compared with that of negative resistance oscillator.
