A SCALDO(Supercapacitor Assisted LDO) regulator is a newly studied regulator to improve the efficiency of a LDO regulator. Commonly a LDO regulator has very low efficiency and a SCALDO regulator can improve it considerably because this regulator can reuse meaninglessly wasted energy at the LDO regulator by a supercapacitor witch is attached between input and a LDO regulator. However this regulator has several challenges because it is a being studied regulator. One of them is an overvoltage issue. At initial operating of this regulator, a supercapacior is totally discharged and input is connected with a supercapacitor and a LDO regulator in series. Thus, input voltage is enabled to a LDO regulator and this input voltage is a significant value to a LDO regulator because commonly input voltage is bigger than twice output voltage. In this paper, to solve this overvoltage issue, we proposed a new SCALDO regulator that has a pre-charger for charging a supercapacitor before starting operation. And we found that a proposed SCALDO regulator can properly reduce overvoltage of a LDO regulator through experiments.

A SCALDO(Supercapacitor Assisted LDO) regulator is a new regulator having advantages of a SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply) which has a good efficiency and a LDO(Low Drop-out) regulator which has stable output characteristics and good EMI(Electro Magnetic Interference) characteristics. However, a conventional SCALDO regulator needs a lot of power consumption to control its switches and it drops an efficiency of the circuit. In this paper, to reduce switching power consumption and improve an efficiency of the circuit, a new SCALDO regulator adopting MOSFETs as its switching parts is proposed and it is found out that the proposed SCALDO regulator has the maximum 9.5% higher efficiency than the conventional SCALDO regulator. We also try to simplify production process of the circuit by changing switching control method of the circuit from MCU(Micro-controller unit) based firmware control to hardware control using a comparator and a T-F/F(Flip Flop).

본 논문은 Single Transformer 구조의 PDP 전원 공급 장치를 위한 유지전원(Vs)단의 새로운 Post-Regulator를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 새로운 방식의 Post Regulator로써 기존 방식에 비해 캐패시터, 다이오드, 인덕터 등의 소자가 불필요해지게 됨에 따라, 저가격 구현이 용이해진다. 뿐만 아니라 영전류 스위칭을 보장하여 스위칭 손실을 최소화 할수 있어 고효율화가 용이한 장점이 있다. 최종적으로 제안된 회로의 동작 원리를 고찰하고, 시뮬레이션 및 50인치 FHD급 PDP를 대상으로 실험을 통해 회로의 동작을 검증하였다.

This study addresses the modeling of a bi-directional outlet variable swash plate type axial piston pump with two EPPR valves and an analysis of the response characteristics to the angle control of that pump. In this paper, the combination of the EPPR valve and double rod type piston is referred to as the EPPR regulator. The EPPR regulator is compact and inexpensive, and has good responsiveness. Under actual pump operating conditions, because of the various external conditions of the pump, inertia is applied to the swash plate, generating the tilting torque. Also, the tilting torque can delay or shorten the response characteristics of the regulator. So we validated them through the analysis using SimulationX and these results allow users to freely integrate the EPPR regulator into the desired system.

전자산업 부문의 친환경 대응이 이슈화 되면서 전자기기의 대기전력 소비감소를 위한 연구가 지속적으로 수행되고 있다. 전자기기의 대표적인 전원공급장치인 Switched Mode Power Supply(SMPS)의 경우 부하기기의 대기모드 시 극도로 낮은 출력전력에서 고효율을 달성해야 하는 요구가 높다. 특히 많은 SMPS들이 부하기기의 요구에 의하여 다출력 컨버터로 설계되어 있는데, 이러한 다출력 구조에서 대기모드 시 불필요한 출력을 절체함과 동시에 저전력에서 고효율을 내기가 쉽지 않다. 또한 다출력 구조로 인한 Cross Regulation 문제를 극복해야 하는 과제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 단일 컨버터 혹은 복수의 컨버터로 구성되어 있는 다출력 컨버터에서 대기전력 개선을 위한 Secondary Side Post Regulator(SSPR), 전류모드, Power Sequence 제어기술을 제안하고, 대기전력과 더불어 SSPR의 Cross Regulation 특성 개선을 검토하였다. 그리고 제안한 기술이 구현된 다출력 구조의 110W와 270W급 SMPS를 제작하여 회로의 타당성 및 우수성을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 다양한 종류의 전원을 구비해야 하는 다중출력 전원 시스템을 위한 영전류 스위칭 LLC 공진형 Post-regulator를 제안한다. 기존의 LLC 공진형 컨버터는 정밀한 다중 출력을 얻기 위해 추가의 DC/DC 컨버터가 구성되었고, 이는 전력 변환 효율 감소 및 제조 원가 상승의 단점을 갖고 있다. 제안된 컨버터는 각 소자의 내압 및 전류 스트레스가 작고, 요구되는 출력 당 1 개의 보조 스위치만으로 구현되므로 저가격화에 유리하다. 또한 전력이 전달되는 시점의 공진 전류의 초기값을 가변함으로서 정밀하게 제어되는 다중 출력 전압을 획득할 수 있고, 각 전압의 출력 순서 제어도 가능한 장점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 독립된 공진탱크를 이용하기 때문에 공진탱크 설계가 용이하며, 최근 전자 제품의 추세인 슬림화의 요구에 부응할 수 있다. 또한, 제안된 Post-regulator의 모든 전력 스위치는 ZCS가 가능하므로 스위칭 손실을 최소화 할 수 있다. 최종적으로 본 논문에서 제안한 영전류 스위칭 LLC 공진형 Post-regulator를 제작하고, 고찰된 실험결과를 제시하여 제안된 컨버터 및 전원시스템의 우수성과 이론적 분석의 타당성을 검증한다.

The pressure drop phenomenon that occurs when the same flow rate is supplied to the gas regulator was analyzed. The regulator moves the position of the piston through the interaction of the force acting on the upper and lower parts of the piston and the spring tension to release the pressure of a specific range in a specific environment as constant pressure, thereby maintaining the pressure. The flow characteristics and pressure control process of the regulator were investigated through a numerical analysis technique as the volume of the fluid inside the regulator changed. As the gap between the piston and the piston seat decreased, the pressure drop increased and the flow velocity increased. It was verified through numerical analysis that the piston was positioned at 0.12mm under the same conditions as the pressure-flow test (inlet pressure 3MPa, outlet pressure 0.8MPa, flow rate 70kg/h).

An emergency diesel generator system is an independent source of power that supports important electrical systems on loss of normal power supply. AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) is a regulator which regulates the output voltage at a nominal constant voltage level. Specially, a power supply for the AVR must be operated at the very wide input range. In this paper, a flyback power supply with very wide input voltage range is proposed.
