New discrete time domain models for the peak current controlled (PCC) power LED drivers in continuous conduction mode include for the first time the effects of time delay in the pulse-width-modulator. Realistic amounts of time delay are found to have significant effects on the average output LED current and on the critical inductor value at the boundary between two conduction modes. Especially, the time delay can provide an accurate LED current for the PCC buck converter with a wide input voltage. The models can also predict the critical inductor values at the mode boundary as functions of the input voltage and the time delay.

알루미늄 방열판 위에 MPCVD(Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 장치를 이용하여 DC 바이어스 전압을 기판에 인가하면서 $Ar+CH_4$ 가스 분위기에서 증착한 나노결정질 다이아몬드(Nanocrystalline Diamond; NCD) 박막의 방열 특성을 평가하였다. XRD와 Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 증착된 박막이 NCD인지를 확인하였으며 FE-SEM 및 FIB로 박막의 표면 및 단면의 형상을 관찰하였다. 다이아몬드가 증착된 방열판에 LED를 부착하여 발열시키고 열유동측정기의 하나인 T3-ster를 사용하여 방열 특성을 분석하였다. 기존 알루미늄(Al) 기판(5.55 K/W)보다 다이아몬드 증착(Dia-Al) 기판(3.88 K/W)의 열저항 값이 현저히 작았다, 또한 LED 접합온도는 Dia-Al 기판이 Al 기판보다 약 $3.5^{\circ}C$만큼 낮았다. 적외선 열화상 카메라로 발열 중인 시편의 전면과 후면을 촬영한 결과, LED가 부착된 전면부에서는 최고 발열 부위(hot spot)의 면적이 Al 기판의 경우가 Dia-Al 기판보다 높았고, 후면부에서는 그 반대의 경향을 보였다. 이들 데이터로부터 다이아몬드 증착 방열판이 기존의 방열판보다 방열특성이 우수한 것으로 해석할 수 있으며, 다이아몬드 박막을 방열판으로 사용하면 LED의 사용 수명과 효율이 높아질 것으로 기대된다.

LED는 우수한 특성으로 인하여 차세대 조명으로 각광받고 있지만, 높은 비용에 따른 시장 활성화가 더딘 상태로서 저가격화 노력이 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. 현재는 LED조명을 구동하기 위한 정전류 Driver, AC-DC컨버터를 배제시킬 수 있도록 AC 입력으로 LED를 구동하는 기술이 선보이고 있지만, AC성분 특성상 낮은 효율과 역률, 높은 THD의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 직렬 콘덴서를 통해 AC 입력전압으로 LED를 구동하는 방식에서 입출력변동에 따른 정전류 제어와 높은 THD를 개선하기 위한 스위칭 기법을 제안하였고, 이러한 회로의 용량성 역률을 보상하기 위하여 유도성 부하인 방전램프(고압나트륨램프)와 결합을 통한 역률을 보상하는 하이브리드 조명회로를 제안하였다.

This paper is mainly concerned with the state of the practical developments of a constants PWM bridge type resonants DC-DC suitable converter for Nd:YAG Laser with a Microprocessor. (PIC16C54 & 8051) The use of IGBT power supply with feedback control of flashLamp currents imparts a advantages to Nd:YAG Laser for materials processing. these include the alility to tailor the pulseshape and modify pulse parameters on a pulse- by pulse basis. And Correct choice of pulseshape can enhance the repeatability of the process. as higher power IGBT became available, act ive pulseforming power supplies will find greater user in deep hole drilling machine By Using certain control tecniques, utililized in designing Pic16c54 from Microchip technology and Intel 8051, also Mornitoring from Microsoft Visual Basic 5, And it allowed us to designed and fabricate ahigh repel it ion rate and high power(HRHP) pulsed Nd:YAG laser system, As a result of that, the current pulsewidth could be contort led 200s to 350s(step 50s) , and the pulse repetition rate could be adjusted 500pps to 1150pps. In addition, in the case of one laser head consisting of a Nd:YAG laser rod and two flashlamps , the maximum laser output of 240w was produced at the condition of 350s and 1150pps, and that of about 480w was generated at the same condition when two laser heads were arranged in cascade.

A new active LED driver with high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) compatible with a rapid-start ballast is proposed. An LC input filter is attached to the ballast to increase PF and reduce THD. A boost converter is then installed to regulate the LED current, where an unstable operating region has been newly identified. The unstable region is successfully stabilized by feedback control with two zeroes. The extremely high overall system of the 10th order is completely analyzed by the newly introduced phasor transformed circuits in static and dynamic analyses. Although a small DC capacitor is utilized, the flicker percentage of the LED is drastically mitigated to 1% by the fast controller. The proposed LED driver that employs a simple controller with a start-up circuit is verified by extensive experiments whose results are in good agreement with the design.

A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive the LED lighting, a power converter with the constant output current is needed. Among many power converters, the flyback converter is chosen by many converter designers due to high power density, structural simplicity, and miniaturization. In this converter, an electrolytic capacitor is generally chosen for the stabilization of the DC voltage because of having the large capacitance and the low price. However, the disadvantages are the short expected life time and 120Hz ripple currents on the converter output node. In this paper, a single-stage dimmable PFC DCM flyback converter without the electrolytic capacitor is proposed to prolong the lifetime of the LED driver. For the long lifetime of the converter, the polyester film capacitor with the small capacitance is substituted for the electrolytic capacitor on the output node and an LC resonant filter is added to damp 120Hz ripple current. The proposed converter is verified through the simulation and the experimental works.

This study proposes a single-stage light-emitting diode (LED) tube lamp driver with input-current shaping for T8/T10-type fluorescent lamp replacements. The proposed AC-DC LED driver integrates a dual-boost converter with coupled inductors and a half-bridge series-resonant converter with a bridge rectifier into a single-stage power conversion topology. This paper presents the operational principles and design considerations for one T8-type 18 W-rated LED tube lamp with line input voltages ranging from 100 V rms to 120 V rms. Experimental results for the prototype driver show that the highest power factor (PF = 0.988), lowest input current total harmonic distortion (THD = 7.22%), and highest circuit efficiency (η = 92.42%) are obtained at an input voltage of 120 V. Hence, the proposed driver is feasible for use in energy-efficient indoor lighting applications.

This paper presents a current-balancing circuit for security lights that uses parallel-connected LEDs. The parallel connection of LEDs causes current differences between the LED strings because of characteristic deviations. These differences can reduce the lifespan of a particular point of LEDs by thermal spotting. They can also cause non-uniform luminance of the lighting device. Among the different methods for solving these problems, the method using current-balancing transformers makes it easy to compensate for current differences and it has a simple circuitry. However, while the balancing transformer has been applied to AC light sources, LEDs operate on a DC source, so the driving circuitry and the design method have to be changed and their performances must be verified. Thus in this paper, a design method of the balancing transformer network and the driving circuitry for LEDs is proposed. The proposed design method could have a smaller size than the conventional design method. The proposed circuitry is applied to three types of 100-watt LED security lights, which use different LEDs. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the designed driving circuits.

This paper in concerned with the electrochemical properties for supercapacitor of composition with variation of super P/MWCNTs(multi-walled carbon nanotubes) contents. Electrochemical properties of the super P/MWCNTs were measured by cyclic voltammetry at the scan rates of 0.5 mV/s is $TEABF_4$(tetra-ethyl-ammonium-tetra-fluoro-borate) as electrolytes. As a result, the composition for 6 wt% content of MWCNTs led to an increase of capacitance, but DC resistance were decreased. It was found that the content and dispersion appearance of MWCNTs was attributed to the increase in capacitance and lower DC resistance.
