In this paper a new buck-boost type DC-DC converter is presented. Its voltage gain is positive, all active elements operate under soft-switching condition independent of loading, magnetic isolation and self output short-circuit protection exist, and very fast dynamic operation is achievable by a simple bang-bang controller. This converter also exhibits appropriate PFC characteristics since its input current is inherently proportional to the source voltage. When the voltage source is off-line, it is sufficient to add an inductor after the rectifier, then near unity power factor is achievable. All essential guidelines to design the converter as a DC-DC and a PFC regulator are presented. Simulation and experimental results verify the developed theoretical analysis.

Five control methods (Speed Control, PID Gain Scheduling, Loop Time Control, Simple PID, Switching Control) have been applied to the control of an Inline Co-axial valve by the simulation of AMESim. The simulation results have shown that the speed control method is the most stable and the fastest way to reach to the set point in the simulation of the flow control. Moreover, It has been found that the five control methods have the almost same characteristics in the power consumption, the counter electromotive force, and the motor angular velocity. According to the analysis results, the fast and stable control characteristics of the speed control method is the most suitable for the flow control using a inline co-axial valve with a DC(BLCD) motor.

In this paper, an analytical model for I-V characteristics of a HEMTs is Proposed. The developed model takes into account the temperature dependence of drain current. In high-speed ICs for optical communication systems and mobile communication systems, temperature variation affects performance; for example the gain, efficiency in analog circuits and the delay time, power consumption and noise mrgin in digital circuits. To design such a circuit taking into account the temperature dependence of the current-voltage characteristic is indispensible. This model based on the analytical relation between surface carrier density and Fermi potential including temperature dependent coefficients.

A dc/dc converter for low voltage of battery application and fuel cell system is required to step up and regulate the low and widely variable voltage. In this paper, we have proposed a soft switching boost converter with high voltage gain using a single switch. Through the theoretical analysis and experimental result, operation modes and characteristics of the proposed topology is verified.

Design considerations of I2L are discussed with particular emphasis on the upward current gain of the npn transistor, 6J Several test structures have been fabricated to measure the DC and AC characteristics of the I2L basic cell and the base current components of the npn transistor. A T flip-flop has also been designed and fabricated using the I2L technology. The upward current gain of 10 the speed -power product of the 2.6pJ/gate and the minimum propagation delay time of 36 nsec have been obtained from the test structure. The maxmum toggle frequency of the T flip -flop has been measured to be 3.5 MHz.

In this paper, bidirectional LLC resonant DC/DC converters with the primary auxiliary windings in transformers of resonant circuits are proposed. Although the resonant capacitors are used on both the primary and secondary sides, regardless of the direction of power flow, the main feature of the proposed converters exhibits high gain characteristics without any mutual coupling between the resonant capacitors. For one of the proposed converters, an investigation of the operating characteristics in each mode has been carried out. A prototype of a 3.3 kW bidirectional LLC resonant converter for interfacing 750 V DC buses has been built and tested to verify the validity and applicability of the proposed converter.

PV (Photovoltaic) power generation system has been widely studied as a clean and renewable power source. Tracking the MPP (maximum power point) of a PV array is usually an essential part of a PV system. This paper describes POS (Photovoltaic Output Sensorless) MPPT method and optimization technique of its operational characteristics for grid-connected PV generation system. A DC-DC converter has been used to step-up the PV voltage and DC-AC converter has been used for connecting the system to the grid. Optimization technique has been implemented to optimize the current and voltage controller gain parameters and duty ratio increment of DC-DC converter. Simulation results reveal that the proposed control has better response.

DC-DC converter which composed of LLC resonant converter, operated by fixed switching frequency with fixed duty cycle (50%), and flyback converter to provide constant output voltage($400V_{DC}$) with variation of input voltage($30-60V_{DC}$) is proposed in this paper. To obtain constant output voltage($400V_{DC}$), flyback converter is not operated in case of above the maximum input voltage($60V_{DC}$) and operated as the input voltage decreases to below 60VDC. Therefore, flyback converter can be designed to the 50% power rating of the maximum power in the proposed DC-DC converter. Operation modes and voltage gain characteristics were analyzed and a 360W prototype converter was tested to verify the proposed converter.

SiGe heterojuction bipolar transistors (HBT) have been studied and applied for advanced high speed integrated circuits. Device characteristics of SiGe HBT depending on the Ge profile of the transistor base region have been analysed using a device simulator, ATLAS/BLAZE. The models and parameters have been calibrated to the measured characteristics of the device, having a trapeziodal base profile, including the cut-off frequency of 45GHz and the dc current gain of 200. The Ge concentration which increases linearly, exponentially, or root-functionally from the emitter-base junction to the base-collector junction, has been tried to find out the influence on the device characteristics. The cut-off frequency and gain rather strongly depends on the exponential and root-functional Ge base profiles, respectively.

Through a lot of papers, it has been concluded that fuzzy logic controller is superior to PI controller in motor speed control. Although fuzzy logic controller is superior to PI controller in motor speed control, the gain tuning of fuzzy logic controller is more complicated than that of PI controller. In this paper, using mathematical analysis of the PI and fuzzy controller, the design method of the fuzzy controller that has the same characteristics with the PI controller is proposed. After that, we can design the fuzzy controller that has superior performance than PI controller by changing the envelope of input of fuzzy controller to nonlinear, because the fuzzy controller has more degree of freedom to select the control gain than PI controller. The advantage of fuzzy logic controller is shown through mathematical analysis, and the simulation result using Matlab simulink has been proposed to show the effectiveness of these analysis.
