This paper presents a study on pull cord switch system which is employed in various industry for emergency stop of the equipments. In this paper, a new method for operation position detection of pull cord switch is suggested which is based on sensing operation position by detecting input resistance variation due to switching operation of pull cord switches with respective ohmic resisters. Moreover, this paper proposes a resistor circuit structure in order to improve recognition rates. Finally, this paper treats a system where such operating switches can be read by PLC.

In this paper, implementation of digital control for critical conduction mode power factor correction (PFC) rectifier is presented. Critical conduction mode is widely used in medium and low power conversion application due to its minimized MOSFET turn-on loss and diode reverse-recovery problem. However, it needs additional zero current detection circuit and maximum frequency limit to properly turn the MOSFET on and avoid the excessive switching loss in light load operation. This paper explains the digital IC implementation and verifies its operation with 200-W prototype PFC rectifier.

본 논문은 계통연계 형 3-레벨 NPC(Neutral Point Clamped)인버터의 고장진단 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 고장진단 방법은 스위칭 소자의 개방고장 진단뿐만 아니라 고장 난 스위칭 소자의 위치 또한 판별 할 수 있다. 스위칭 소자의 고장 진단은 콘코디아 변환(Concordia transformation)에 의한 전류패턴의 반지름 변화로 판단 할 수 있다. 고장 난 스위칭 소자의 위치는 기존의 콘코디아 변환(Concordia transformation)에 의한 전류패턴을 분석하는 방법에 간단한 스위칭 동작을 추가함으로써 구분 할 수 있다. 제안하는 기법은 추가적인 센서가 필요하지 않고 전류신호에 기반을 두고 있으므로 시스템의 복잡한 모델링이 필요하지 않은 장점이 있다. 본 논문은 10kW급 태양광 계통연계 시스템을 모의한 시뮬레이션을 바탕으로 제안한 기법의 타당성을 검증한다.

For improving the power supply reliability and minimizing maintenance work of E.H.V. underground transmission line, new surveillance systems are strongly desired for use in the field of electric power transmission. For underground installation, high system reliability is required because E.H.V. cables, if an accident happen, can have a serious impact on social activities and human life. In answer to this requirement, applications of optical fiber transmission system have been widely developed in a variety of field. The main function of this system are cable fault location, oil leak detection, and surveillance of the cable circuit and tunnel condition.

As the increasing integrity of VLSI, the BIST(Built-In Self Test) is used as an effective method to test chips. Generally the pseudo-random test pattern generation is used for BIST. But it requires too many test patterns when there exist random resistant faults. Therefore we propose a mixed test scheme which applies to the circuit under test, a deterministic test sequence followed by a pseudo-random one. This scheme allows the maximum fault coverage detection to be achieved, furthermore the silicon area overhead of the mixed hardware generator can be reduced.

DC link electrolytic capacitors are widely used in various PWM power converter system, such as adjustable speed driver(ASD) or DC/DC converter. Electrolytic capacitors, which is the most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. This objective of this paper is to propose a improvement method to detect the rise of equivalent series resistor(ESR) in order to realize the online failure prediction of electrolytic capacitor for DC link of PWM power converter. The ESR detection scheme is based on the determination of the electrolytic capacitor AC losses calculated from voltage/current measurement using AC coupling. Therefore, the preposed online failure prediction method has the merits of easy ESR computation and circuit simplicity compare with BPF method. Simulation results show the veridity of the proposed on-line ESR estimation method.

Electrolytic capacitors are used in variety of equipments as smoothening element of the power converters because it has high capacitance for its size and low price. Electrolytic capacitors, which is most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. Therefore it is important to estimate the parameter of an electrolytic capacitor to predict the failure. This objective of this paper is to propose a new method to detect the rise of equivalent series resistor(ESR) in order to realize the online failure prediction of electrolytic capacitor for DC output filter of power converter. The ESR of electrolytic capacitor estimated from RMS result of filtered waveform(BPF) of the ripple capacitor voltage/current. Therefore, the preposed online failure prediction method has the merits of easy ESR computation and circuit simplicity. Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the performance of the proposed on-line method.

A now signal precessing system for real time displacement measurement in sinusoidal phase modulating interferometry is described. Although sinusoidal phase modulating interferometry is effective in measuring with high accuracy the displacement of an object, conventional signal processing takes along time. In this method, detection of the object's displacement is easily achieved by sampling the interference signal at those times that satisfy certain conditions and by processing the sampled signals with electric circuits in real time. the delay time of this signal processing system is < 45 $\mu$s. Specially in this paper we describe all electronic circuit and optical system design

8B/10B 선로부호를 채택한 기가비트 이더넷 PCS 수신측에서는 동기부의 바이트 동기획득과 수신부의 디코딩을 위해 Running Disparity(RD) 에러인 데이터열을 검출해야 한다. 기존의 RD 에러 검출 방법은 직렬 입력 비트에서 RD 에러를 검출하였으나 제안하는 RD 에러 검출 방법은 125MHz 속도의 10비트 데이터열을 받아 4비트열과 6비트열로 나누어 바이트 클럭에 따라 RD를 계산하고 계산된 이전의 RD값과 현재의 RD값을 비교하며 RD 위반 에러 데이터를 검출한다. 이는 기존의 RD 에러 검출 방법이 비트 클럭과 니블 클럭에 따라 RD 에러를 검출하기 때문에 야기되는 초고속 처리에 대한 한계를 해결한 것이며 기가비트 이더넷에 적합한 새로운 RD 에러 검출 방법이다.
