Low-voltage, low-power gm-C filter utilizing newly dveloped operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is described in this paper. The OTA has only two MOS transistors in saturation region between $V_{DD}$ and GND, and thus low voltage operation is possible. To improve the linearity, the OTA is made differential. Common mode feedback, essential in differential circuit, requires no additional implemented in $0.8\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process, and the center frequency can be controlled from 15MHz with 3.0V single power supply.

In this paper, a Gm-C LPF utilizing common-mode feedforward (CMFF) CMOS inverter type operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) has been designed and verified by circuit simulations. The CMFF CMOS inverter OTA was optimized for wide input linearity and low current consumption using a standard 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process; gm of 100 ${\mu}S$ and current of 100 ${\mu}A$ at supplied voltage of 1.3 V. Using this optimized CMFF CMOS inverter type OTA, an elliptic 5th order Gm-C LPF for GPS specifications was designed. Gain and frequency tuning of the LPF was done by changing the internal supply voltages. The designed Gm-C LPF gave pass-band ripple of 1.6 dB, stop-band attenuation of 60.8 dB, current consumption of 0.60 mA at supply voltage of 1.2 V. The gain and frequency characteristics of designed Gm-C LPF was unchanged even though the input common-mode voltage is varied.

In order for medical devices to be used outside hospital, they have to be not only of small size but also power consumption has to be kept at low level. This study investigates the feasibility of application of ADS1298 ECG single-chip solution developed by Texas Instruments Inc. for use in development of a new platform for diagnostic resting ECG. To prove the feasibility of commercial products based on the ADS1298 chip, the performance of the ADS1298 chip was measured in terms of input impedance, common mode rejection, frequency response, and input dynamic range using the testing method under the suitability criteria of the IEC 60601-2-25 standard. Result of the this study shows that commercialization of the ECG products based on the ADS1298 ECG single-chip solution that satisfies the international standards would be possible, if the manufactures take the filter characteristics into account in building a new platform for diagnostic resting ECG.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are widely used as surge protectors for communication applications due to their small internal capacitance. In these days, however, they are mostly used in combined configurations, because the activation voltage required to initiate the discharge process in the GDTs for sufficient amount of time can be large enough to damage surge-sensitive protected circuits. For GDTs with a considerably high initial over-voltage value, we should limit the peak voltage using a TVS or filter. As for ZnO varistors, even though their performance for voltage restriction is excellent their applications in high-frequency communication circuits have been limited because of higher internal capacitance when compared to the GDTs. In order to develop a surge protector for communication applications by taking advantages of these two devices, we built a combination circuit that connects a GDT and a ZnO varistor along with a choke coil in common and differential modes. We describe how the applied SPDs operate in protection process steps with the actual data obtained from the residual voltage measurements at each step. The experiment results show that the surge voltage restriction with the choke coil is more effective in differential mode than in common mode.

An alternative CMOS implementation of a multi-output four-terminal floating nullor (FTFN) with constant-g$_{m}$ rall-to-rail input stage is proposed. This presented circuit is based on the advantages of a complementary transconductance amplifier and class AB dual translinear cell circuit that comes up with wide bandwidth. The constant-g$_{m}$ characteristic is controlled by the maximum-current selection circuits, maintaining the smooth response over the change of input common mode voltage. The circuit performances are confirmed through HSPICE simulations. A current-mode multifunction filter is used to exhibit the potentiality of this proposed scheme.eme.

기존 EMI 필터 설계의 경우, 설계 가이드 없이 반복적인 측정을 통해 규제를 만족하도록 설계하기 때문에 많은 시간을 소모하게 된다. 또한 필터 내의 불필요한 소자 사용으로 인해 회로의 부피 및 가격 상승의 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 대상 시스템에 대한 노이즈를 공통모드 노이즈(Common Mode Noise)와 차동모드 노이즈(Differential Mode Noise)로 분리하여 측정하였으며, 등가회로 모델링 및 제안 설계 가이드를 통해 최적 EMI 필터를 설계하였다. 또한 제안 EMI 필터 설계방법을 통해 설계 시간 단축, EMI 필터 단가 및 부피 저감이 가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 제안 방법을 이론으로 분석하고 모의실험을 통해 확인하였으며, 실제 측정을 통해 제안 방식의 우수성을 검증하였다.

Previous single-phase transformerless inverters used active bypass switching circuits that need auxiliary power switches to minimize ground leakage current. However, switching and gate driving losses are increased due to the use of additional power switches. To cope with this drawback, this work proposes a transformerless inverter using a passive bypass filter without any auxiliary power switch. The operation and control of the proposed inverter are described. The ground leakage current characteristics are analyzed for the proposed inverter with the passive bypass filter. The experimental results of the proposed inverter for a 1.0kW prototype system are presented.

In the present study a detailed examination of various porous media models for predicting filtration efficiency and pressure drop of diesel particulate filter (DPF), such as sphere-in-cell and constricted tube models, are attempted. In order for demonstrating their validities of correct estimation on permeability, geometry of property configurations common in commercial cordierite DPFs are correlated to the porous media flow models, and validations of predicted filtration efficiencies due to the use of different unit collectors are made with experiments. The result shows that the porosity, pore size and permeability of cordierite DPF can be successfully correlated by Kuwabara flow field with correction factor of 0.6. The unit collector efficiency predicted by sphere-in-cell model agrees very well with measurements in accumulation mode, whereas that by constricted tube model with significant prediction error.

Since the most of malfunctions in the industrial equipment controlled by processors is occurred by the Electrical Fast Transient(EFT), the International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC) prepared the dummy signal to test the immunity level of the equipments. In this paper, we designed a new EMC fitter for power line in break-box, which consist of the feed-through capacitor and ferrite materials with high permeability, which was wound or inserted, in the second layer of the power cable in order to increase common mode inductance. We have obtained a excellent insertion loss characteristics over wide frequency band from 10 MHz up to 1.5 GHz. It is expected that the new EMC filter could be effectively used for industrial, MIL, and medical equipments to reduce a malfunctions and be suitable for IEC 61000-4-4.

Generally, brushless DC motor(BLDCM) driving system uses hall sensors or encoders as the mechanical position or speed sensor. It is necessary to achieve the informations of rotor position for driving trapezoidal type brushless DC motor without any position sensor. In this paper, the commutation signals are obtained without the motor neutral voltage, multistage analog filters, A/D converters, or the complex digital phase shift circuits which are indispensable in the conventional sensorless control algorithms. In the proposed method, in stead of detecting the zero crossing point of the nonexcited motor back electromagnetic force for the average motor terminal to neutral voltage, the commutation signal are extracted directly from the specific average line to line voltage with low-pass filter, adder and comparators circuit. In contrast to conventional methods, the neutral voltage is not need; therefore, the commutation signals are insensitive to the common mode noise. Moreover, the complex phase shift circuit can be eliminated. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation results.
