As demands for green industry increase, this paper proposes a power control technique that can substitute pre -existing CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) and optimize power consumption of LED BLU. This technique is designing LED driver circuit that make a DC-DC output voltage(VLED) to have a linear control function for a supply voltage of LED string. The proposed LED driver have an advantage that can increase or decrease a DC-DC output voltage compared with conventional LED driver. The designed LED driver circuit was designed using 0.35um CMOS technology. And its operation was verified through simulation.

This paper discusses single-phase AC-DC converter that driven by binary combination at different transformer winding ratio. It has a advantage that constructs a control system simply and obtain load current of good quality without filter circuit and free from noise or isolation for lower switching frequency. Also, this has merit that can do high power capacity. In this research, study on feedback circuit that consist for load stability of AC-DC multi-level converter.

In this paper, we present an integrated rail-to-rail fully differential operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) working at low-supply voltages (1.5 V) with reduced power consumption and showing high DC gain. An embedded adaptive biasing circuit makes it possible to obtain low stand-by power dissipation (lower than 0.17 mW in the rail-to-rail version), while the high DC gain (over 78 dB) is ensured by positive feedback. The circuit, fabricated in a standard CMOS integrated technology (AMS 0.35 ${\mu}m$), presents a 37 V/${\mu}s$ slew-rate for a capacitive load of 15 pF. Experimental results and high values of two quality factors, or figures of merit, show the validity of the proposed OTA, when compared with other OTA configurations.

This paper describes the chaotic neuron model to represent the complicated states of brain and analyzes the dynamical responses of chaotic neuron such as periodic, bifurcation, and chaotic phenomena which are simulated iwth numerical analysis. Next, the chaotic neuron circuit is implemented w ith the analog electronic devices. The transfer function of chaotic neuron is given by summed the linear and nonlinear property. The output function of chaojtic neuron is designed iwth the two cMOS inverters and a feedback resistor. By adjusting the external voltage, the various dynamical properties are demonstrated. In addition, we construt the chaotic neural networks which are composed of the interconnection of chaotic neuroncircuit such as serial, paralle, and layer connection. On the board experiment, we proved the dynamci and chaotic responses which exist in the human brain.

A design method of a current source using 12-pulse phase-controlled rectifier (PCR) is presented. The critical inductance of the 12-pulse PCR is derived and it is shown that the critical inductance can be reduced using a current source. The control circuit of the 12-pulse PCR with an inner fast dynamic loop is proposed to give the frequency synchronism and to reduce the subharmonics due to the unbalance of the transformer of the power line. This circuit is analyzed and its dynamic loop is optimized. The optimal constant PIMF (proportional, integral and measurable variable feedback, and feedforware) controller is also designed using the time-weighted quadratic performance index. It is shown via experimental results that the proposed design method gives high dynamic and static performance of the current source using the 12-pulse PCR.

This paper, a new simple controller operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) for Boost power factor collection converter is introduced. The duty ratios are obtained by comparisons of a sensed signal from inductor current and a negative ramp carrier waveform in each switching period. By using the proposed controller, input voltage sensing, error amplifier in the current feedback loop, and analog multiplier／divider are not required, then, the control circuit implementation is very simple. To verify the proposed controller, the circuit simulation for Boost power factor correction converter was applied. For the results, the input current waveform was shaped to be closely sinusoidal, implying low THD.

Sinusoidal voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) based on Colpitts and Hartley oscillators are presented. They consist of a LC parallel-tuned circuit connected in a negative-feedback loop with an OTA-R amplifier and two diode limiters, where the inductor is simulated one realized with temperature-stable linear operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and a grounded capacitor. Prototype VCOs are built with discrete components. The Colpitts VCO exhibits less than 1% nonlinearity in its current-to-frequency transfer characteristic from 4.2 to 21.7 MHz and ${\pm}$95 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ temperature drift of frequency over 0 to $70^{\circ}C$. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as 2.92% with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.7 V for a frequency-tuning range of 10.8-32 MHz. The Hartley VCO has the temperature drift and THD of two times higher than those of the Colpitts VCO.

This paper shows an asynchronous comparator circuit for 1.2Gbps signal receiver that converts 1.2Gbps data rate input signals with less than 100㎷ swing to on-chip CMOS compatible voltage levels in a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. Folded-cascode nMOS input stage with source-coupled pMOS input stage cover rail-to-rail input common-mode range. Drastic gain-bandwidth increment due to gain-boosting stage with positive-feedback latch as well as wide input common-mode range make designed circuit be suitable for a fully differential signal receiver. HSPICE simulation results show that worst-case sensitivity is less than 20㎷ and maximum propagation delay is 640-psec. And also we verified 3.97㎽ power consumption with 150㎷ differential swing amplitude at 1.2Gbps.

A magnetic levitation control system is inherently nonlinear and very unstable. Thus there should be a stabilizing compensator network and a negative feedback path using noncontact photoresistor or ultrasonic sensors for the levitation operation. Since the photo sensor plays a key role in the system, the steady-state error and transient performance of the overall system depend on the characteristics of the sensors. But the sensor itself also suffers from nonlinearity, and the magnitude of sensor input heavily depends on environmental conditions. To improve the output performance, we added a linearizing circuit for the sensor characteristics and a disturbance cancelation circuit to avoid sensitive output due to extraneous interfering light.

Recently metropolitan local governments is actively introducing urban railway's expand and light rail transit as a means of new transport system. DC electricity feeder system operating in the domestic urban railway is typically a feedback circuit consisted of the contact wire and electric railway vehicle via rail. But stray current is to be defined as a current flowing on a structure that is not part of the intended electrical circuit with respect to a given structure. Stray current is generally results from the leakage of return currents from large DC traction systems that are grounded or have a bad earth-insulated return path. At the place where the current leaves the rail and metallic structures, electrolytic corrosion may take place. This paper presents comparison analysis of field test methods based on criteria of electrolytic corrosion protection of buried metallic structures adjacent to DC traction systems.
