In this paper, we propose a novel shoot-through protection circuit and pulse generator for half-bridge driver IC. We designed a robust half-bridge driver IC over a variation of processes and power supplies. The proposed circuit is composed a delay circuit using a beta-multiplier reference. The proposed circuit has a lower variation rate of dead time and pulse-width over variation of processes and supply voltages than the conventional circuit. Especially, the proposed circuit has more excellent pulse-width matching of set and reset signals than the conventional circuit. Also, the proposed pulse generator is prevented from fault operations using a logic gate. Dead time and pulse-width of the proposed circuit are typical 250 ns, respectively. The variation ratio is 68%(170 ns) of maximum over variation of processes and supply voltages. The proposed circuit is designed using $1\;{\mu}m$ 650 V BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS) process parameter, and the simulations are carried out using Spectre simulator of Cadence corporation.

본 논문에서는 고장예측진단 및 건전성 관리 기법(Prognostics and Health Management, PHM)을 적용하기 위해 해당 시스템 혹은 회로 내부에서 결함특성을 감지하고 예측할 수 있는 회로 구조를 제안하였다. 기존 연구에서 회로 결함의 진행에 따라, S-parameter 크기 최소값의 주파수가 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 특성을 기존에는 네트워크 분석기(Network Analyzer)를 활용하여 측정하였으나, 본 연구에서는 같은 결함검출기법을 활용하더라도 큰 계측장비 없이 결함의 진행상황 및 잔여 수명, 결함발생 여부를 확인할 수 있는 소형화된 회로를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 S-parameter의 변화를 야기하는 임피던스의 변화를 감지할 수 있도록 회로를 설계하였으며, Bond-wire의 온도반복에 따른 S-parameter 변화 측정결과를 제안하는 회로에 적용하였다. 이를 통해 해당 회로가 Bond-wire의 결함을 감지할 수 있다는 것을 성공적으로 검증하였다.

This paper discusses heat problem of IC, which composes the electronic instruments, to guarantee reliability of electronic instruments. And also proposes the unified equivalent model for various electronic instrument products to guarantee reliability and life of its parts. Because electronic instruments are down sizing and operated with high frequency, the internal temperature of electronic instruments is rising steadily. The internal temperature of the electronic instruments gives a big effect to electronic instrument's reliability and life. The semiconductor parts are the representative heat generation parts because of its complicated function, high frequency and high density. Consequently, guaranteeing reliability and life of electronic semiconductor is the important start point in securing the reliability and life of the electronic instrument product. Unfortunately, there are many factors, which affect heat dissipation efficiency. The heat dissipation efficiency follows the environment where the electronic instrument products are used. Therefore it is very difficult to define reliability and life of the electronic manufactures. Electronic instrument products are composed of printed circuit board (PCB), integrated circuit (IC), resistance, and capacitor and so on. And there are superposed thermal resistances, because the parts are arrayed on the printed circuit board (PCB), Therefore the total thermal resistance is variable. Consequently it cannot have same thermal model for each electronic instrument products. In the next part, we propose the unified equivalent model for various electronic instruments. And using the proposed equivalent model proofs the method for analysis reliability of electronic parts.

The MOV(Metal Oxide Varistor), a voltage limiting element, has been installed in the SPD(Surge Protective Device) or inside the internal circuit of an electronic appliance for protection of the electric power system and electronic device against electrical surge. Such an MOV is exposed, however, to the risk of the thermal runaway resulting from excessive voltage and deterioration. In this paper, a reciprocal action has been tested and analyzed using a phosphorus bronze switching module and the low-temperature solder. And a short current break characteristic test linked with the circuit breaker has been performed to limit the inrush current when the MOV breaks down. It has been proven that the phosphorus bronze switching module installed inside the internal circuit can improve the safety of the power line system and the electronic device.

A unified potentiostat circuit for both $O_2$- and $H_2O_2$- based electrochemical glucose sensors was proposed and its function was verified by circuit simulations and measurement results of a fabricated chip. This circuit consisted of an operational amplifier, a comparator and current mirrors. The proposed circuit was fabricated with a $0.13{\mu}m$ thick oxide CMOS process and an active area of $360{\mu}m{\times}100{\mu}m$. The measurements revealed an input operation range from 0.5 V to 1.6 V in the $H_2O_2$- based bio-sensor and from 1.7 V to 2.6 V in the $O_2$- based bio-sensor with a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The evaluation results showed that the proposed potentiostat circuit is suitable for measuring the electrochemical cell currents of both $O_2$- and $H_2O_2$- based glucose sensors.

This paper presents a clock and data recovery circuit with an adaptive loop bandwidth calibration scheme and the idle power saved frequency acquisition. The loop bandwidth calibration adaptively controls injection currents of the main loop with a trimmable bandgap reference circuit and trains the VCO to operate in the linear frequency control range. For stand-by power reduction of the phase detector, a clock gating circuit blocks 8-phase clock signals from the VCO and cuts off the current paths of current mode D-flip flops and latches during the frequency acquisition. 77.96% reduction has been accomplished in idle power consumption of the phase detector. In the jitter experiment, the proposed scheme reduces the jitter tolerance variation from 0.45-UI to 0.2-UI at 1-MHz as compared with the conventional circuit.

This paper presents the design of acoustic resonance free and over current limit during transient state consideration electronic ballast for 1.5kW Metal-Halide Lamp(MHL) that employs frequency modulation (FM) technique. The proposed ballast consists of a Full-Bridge(FB) rectifier, a passive power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a full-bridge inverter, an ignitor using LC resonance and a control circuit for frequency modulation. The frequency modulation technique is the most effective solution to eliminate acoustic resonance among other technique. It spreads power spectrum of lamp to reduce the supplied power spectrum under the energy level of eigen-value frequency. Moreover, the proposed ballast is simple and cost effective above conventional ballast. A new PFC circuit is proposed which combines with LCD type and PCSR filter. A new PFC circuit has higher PF and lower THD than conventional LCD type and secure high reliability. Finally, to protected switching components in transient state, the surge current into ballast is limited by increase the switching frequency. Performance of the proposed ballast was validated through computer simulation using Pspice, experimentation and by applying it to an electronic ballast for a prototype 1.5kW MHL.
