In this paper, we propose the hardware architecture of a display converter which is consisted of four functional blocks. The four functional blocks consists of a set of color space converter, de-interacer, video display scaler, and gamma corrector. After the proposed architecture was implemented into hardware, we verified that it operated exactly. The designed hardware has 7,629 LUT and 6,800 Logic Register in Stratix device of Altera and operates in 270 MHz clock frequency.

This work proposes and characterizes switched-capacitor type cyclic digital-to-analog converter for display data driving. The proposed digital-to-analog converter composes simple structure, and can be implemented for low-power, small area display driver ICs. By circuit level simulations, it is verified that the op-amp input referred offset is attenuated at the DAC output and the circuit performance is robust at 0.5% of capacitor mismatch.

This paper proposed DC-DC converter for fuel cell that have high voltage and high current output characteristics. It is required step-up converter to use by general power supply, because the general rated voltage of fuel cell is low about 20$\sim$50V. The miniaturization of converter and DC link voltage can be controlled and high quality of output voltage uses mainly DC-DC converter. The boost converter and buck-boost converter do not get high boosting ratio. It is that proposed boost-flyback converter. Through simulation and an experiment, it could get high boosting ratio and efficiency more than 90%.

This paper describes a new method to predict the load current of a dc-dc converter. The load current is calculated using the video information of the PDP. The output capacitance of the dc-dc converter can be reduced by utilizing the predicted load current, which results in a cost reduction of the power system in the PDP.

Recently, Mobile multimedia equipments as smart phone and tablet pc requirement is increasing and this market is also being expanded. These mobile equipments require large multi-media function, so more power consumption is required. For these reasons, the needs of power management IC as switching type dc-dc converter and linear regulator have increased. DC-DC buck converter become more important in power management IC because the operating voltage of VLSI system is very low comparing to lithium-ion battery voltage. There are many people to be concerned about digital DC-DC converter without using external passive device recently. Digital controlled DC-DC converter is essential in mobile application to various external circumstance. This paper proposes the DC-DC Buck Converter using the AVR RISC 8-bit micro-processor control. The designed converter receives the input DC 18-30 [V] and the output voltage of DC-DC Converter changes by the feedback circuit using the A/D conversion function. Duty ratio is adjusted to maintain a constant output voltage 12 [V]. Proposed converter using the micro-processor control was compared to a typical boost converter. As a result, the current loss in the proposed converter was reduced about 10.7%. Input voltage and output voltage can be displayed on the LCD display to see the status of the operation.

In this paper, the boost converter was implemented by digital control in many applications of the step-up. The PWM(pulse width modulation) control module of boost converter was digitized at power converter using the FPGA device and VHDL. The boost converter was designed to output a fixed voltage through the PI control algorithm of the PWM control module even if input voltage and output load are variable. The boost converter was digitized can be simplified by reducing the size of the module and the external control components. Thus, the digital power IC has advantageous for weight reduction and miniaturization of electronic products because it can be controlled remotely by setting the desired output voltage and PWM control module. The boost converter using the digital power IC was confirmed through experiments and the good performances were showed from experiment results.

In general wireless power transfer systems (WPTSs), power transfer is controlled by the wireless communication between a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). However, WPTS is difficult to apply in electronic products that do not have batteries, such as TVs. A WPTS with resonators based on a transformer of LLC series resonant converter is proposed in this study to eliminate wireless communication units between a Tx and an Rx. The proposed system operates at the boundary of the resonance frequency, and the required power can be stably supplied to authorized devices even though some misalignment occurs. Moreover, standby power standards for the electronic product can be satisfied.

The characteristic evaluation of A/D converter is to measure the linearity of the converter. The evaluation of the linearity is to measure the DNL, INL, gain error and offset error in the various test parameters of A/D converter. Generally, DNL and INL are to be measured by the Histogram Test Algorithm in the DSP-based ATE environment. And gain error and offset error are to be measured by the calculation equation of the measuring algorithm. It is to propose the new Concurrent Histogram Test Algorithm for the test of the housekeeping A/D converter used in the CDMA cellular phone. Using the proposed method, it is to measure the DNL, INL, gain error and offset error concurrently and to show the measured results.

As the turns ratio of the tapped-inductor contributes to the step-up ratio, the tapped-inductor boost (TIB) converter has significantly increased level of difficulties in its analysis and design compared to the conventional boost converter where the duty ratio is the sole factor affecting the step-up ratio. In this paper, the operation of the continuous current mode TIB converter is briefly reviewed, the characteristics are analyzed in detail, and a design guideline optimizing the loss in the tapped-inductor is presented with a practical design example. Finally, experimental results from a 12V/120V prototype for 0.25A LED driver application are also presented to confirm the design.
