This paper propose a new active common-mode voltage damper circuit that is capable of suppressing a common-mode voltage produced in the PWM VSI. The new active common mode voltage damper is consisted of a half-bridge inverter and a common mode transformer with a blocking capacitor. Principle of the active common mode damper is as follow; by applying the compensation voltage which has the same amplitude and opposite polarity to the PWM inverter system. So, common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current can be reduced. Simulated and experimental results show that common-mode voltage damper makes contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current and common-mode voltage.

This paper presents a built-in current sensor(BICS) that can detect defects in CMOS integrated circuits through current testing technique - Iddq test. Current test has recently been known to a complementary testing method because traditional voltage test cannot cover all kinds of bridging defects. So BICS is widely used for current testing. but there are some critical issues - a performance degradation, low speed test, area overhead, etc. The proposed BICS has a two operating mode- normal mode and test mode. Those methods minimize the performance degradation in normal mode. We also used a current-mode differential amplifier that has a input as a current, so we can realize higher speed current testing. Furthermore, only using 10 MOSFETS and 3 inverters, area overhead can be reduced by 6.9%. The circuit is verified by HSPICE simulation with 0.25 urn CMOS process parameter.

Audio power amplifiers have been designed based on the premise that the impedance of loudspeakers is fixed at nominal 4 ohms or 8 ohms. However, it is known that the impedance varies with frequency and takes on the nominal value at some limited frequencies. The principle of the loudspeaker operation reveals that the sound pressure produced by the loudspeaker is proportional to the current flowing in the voice coil, not the voltage between the two terminals. We take the characteristics of the loudspeaker into account and compare the frequency responses of the loudspeaker in voltage-drive mode and current-drive mode via computer simulations, to conclude that the audio amplifier drive mode should be re-considered in an effort to improve the sound quality.

We propose a method for driving loudspeakers from class D audio power amplifiers in current mode, instead of in conventional voltage mode, which was impossible with the feedback circuitry. Unlike analog audio amplifiers, Class D audio power amplifiers have signal delay between the input and output signals, which makes it difficult to apply the feedback circuitry for current-mode driving. The idea of the pre-distortion scheme used for the compensation of the non-linearity of RF power amplifiers is adapted to remedy the impedance variation effect of the loudspeakers for current driving. The method uses the speaker model for the pre-distorter to compensate for the speaker impedance variation with frequency. The simulation and test results confirms the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, a sampler model for the P-type current mode control employing low pass filter is proposed. Even though the frequency response of the compensator used in a P-type current mode control employing low pass filter is similar to that of P-type compensator, the sampler model has to be obtained from the method used in PI-type current mode control. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed method, prediction results of the proposed model are compared to those from the circuit level simulator, PSIM.

This paper describes a High-Speed 8-bit Current-Mode BiCMOS A/D Converter. The characteristics of this A/D Converter are as fellows. First, as ADC is operating in current-mode we can obtain the properties of increase of converting speed, low noise, and wideband. Second, the properties of high switching speed in bipolar transistor and of high packing density, low power consumption in MOS trnsistor are combined. Finally we reduce chip area by designing it with subranging mode and improve the converting speed by performing subtraction directly, which doesn't need D/A convertings, using current switching element. This converter is composed of two 4-bit ADC, current soure array which provides signal and reference current, current comparator and encoding network.

Silicon-based 0.69-inch AMOEL microdisplay with integrated driver and timing controller circuits for microdisplay applications has been developed using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ l-poly 4-metal standard CMOS process with 5 V CMOS devices and CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) technology. To reduce the large data programming time consumed in a conventional current programming pixel circuit technique and to achieve uniform display, de-amplifying current mirror pixel circuit and the current-mode data driver circuit with threshold roltage compensation are proposed. The proposed current-mode data driver circuit is inherently immune to the ground-bouncing effect. The Monte-Carlo simulation results show that the proposed current-mode data driver circuit has channel-to-channel non-uniformity of less than ${\pm}$0.6 LSB under ${\pm}$70 mV threshold voltage variaions for both NMOS and PMOS transistors, which gives very good display uniformity.

Due to the conventional half-bridge switch-mode converters for dc motor drive have been usually using unbalanced circuit topologies which generate common-mode currents through parasitic capacitors distributed between the ground and the dc motor frame such as the heat-sink of switching devices or the frame of the dc motor. This paper describes methods that cancel common-mode current generated in half-bridge switch-mode converters by using circuit balancing technique. The circuit balancing is to make the noise pickup or occurring in both conductor lines, signal and return pathes, is equal in amplitude and opposite in phase so that it will be canceled out in the ground plane. The common-mode current cancellation in the proposed converter is confirmed by experimental results.

This paper proposes a multimode hybrid control strategy that can achieve zero-voltage switching of primary switches and zero-current switching of secondary rectifier diodes in a wide input voltage range for full-bridge LLC resonant converters. When the input voltage is lower than the rated voltage, the converter operates in Mode 1 through the variable-frequency control strategy. When the input voltage is higher than the rated voltage, the converter operates in Mode 2 through the VF and phase-shift control strategy until the switching frequency reaches the upper limit. Then, the converter operates in Mode 3 through the constant-frequency and phase-shift control strategy. The secondary-side diode current will operate in the discontinuous current mode in Modes 1 and 3, whereas it will operate in the boundary current mode in Mode 2. The current RMS value and conduction loss can be reduced in Mode 2. A detailed theoretical analysis of the operation principle, the voltage gain characteristics, and the realization method is presented in this paper. Finally, a 500 W prototype with 100-200 V input voltage and 40 V output voltage is built to verify the feasibility of the multimode hybrid control strategy.
