Contactless power transfer technology is gaining increasing attention in city transportation applications because of its high mobility and flexibility in charging and its commensurate power level with conductive power transfer method. In this study, an inductively coupled contactless charging system for a 48 V light electric vehicle is proposed. Although this study does not focus on system efficiency, the generic problems in an inductively coupled contactless power transfer system without ferromagnetic structure are discussed. An active load matching method is also proposed to control the power transfer on the receiving side through a load matching converter. Small signal modeling and linear control technology are applied to the load matching converter for port voltage regulation, which effectively controls the power flow into the load. A prototype is built, and experiments are conducted to reveal the intrinsic characteristics of a series-series resonant inductive power charger in terms of frequency, air gap length, power flow control, coil misalignment, and efficiency issues.

The conventional central photo voltaic inverters have several problems. First, shadow problem in each solar panel, and high DC voltage problem from each panel because of concentration to one central inverter. Therefore, module integrated inverter is proposed to solve these problems. The inverter should be small and cost effective. The cost and size in the inverter depend on the inductor. So the switching frequency should be increased to reduce the inductor and total size, but there is a problem in efficiency because of the losses in turn-on and turn-off. In the paper, the critical conduction mode(CRM) switching method is adopted to reduce the switching loss and interleaving method is proposed to increase the efficiency in Flyback converter. Finally, the validity of the proposed scheme is investigated with simulated and experimental results for a prototype system rated at 200W.

In this paper, GaN-SBD devices with excellent breakdown voltage and frequency characteristics for use in high-power microwave wireless power transmission has been modeled for PSpice circuit simulation. The RF-DC conversion circuits were simulated and compared with a commercial Si-SBD device. Although the modeled GaN-SBD devices had lower RF-DC conversion efficiency compared to Si-SBD at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, it was confirmed through PSpice circuit simulations that they can be used sufficiently according to the required application circuit in a high power situation.

The starter of the turbo generator is composed of a high speed generator(HSG), an inverter and a boost converter instead of a gearbox, a DC motor and a low-voltage battery in the starter of the turbo shaft generation system. Because turbo generator is needed a high speed motoring at start-up, high speed generator has a low leakage inductance and inverter need a high DC link voltage. In this study, for developing the stater of a turbo generator, a boost converter with a high capacity was developed to convert high voltage from a low battery voltage. And for controlling a high frequency current to be injected to a motor winding with a low leakage inductance, the inverter with a high precision and a high speed operation was designed and for a stable ignition, the starting algorithm of a turbo generator was proposed. Turbo generator was started by the starter developed to verify the performances.

Thin-film chromel-alumel multijunction thermal converters with a low output resistance of $64{\sim}85\;{\Omega}$ showed approximately the square law-dependent input-output relation. The voltage responsivities were very low with $0.34{\sim}0.67\;V/W$ in air and $1.15{\sim}1.48\;V/W$ in vacuum, respectively, and the ac-dc voltage transfer error was very large with about +340 ppm in the frequency range of $40\;Hz{\sim}10\;kHz$ in the case of 1 V-input sinewave rms voltage. It can be concluded that the large transfer error of the thermal converter was mainly caused by the low voltage responsivity and the large heat loss due to low output resistance, which implies that the optimization for small ac-dc transfer error is required.

This paper presents a CMOS switched-capacitor interface circuit for MEMS capacitive sensors. It consist of a capacitance to voltage converter(CVC), a second-order ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ modulator, and a comparator. A bias circuit is also designed to supply constant bias voltages and currents. This circuit employes the correlated-double-sampling(CDS) and chopper-stabilization(CHS) techniques to reduce low-frequency noise and offset. The designed CVC has a sensitivity of 20.53mV/fF and linearity errors less than 0.036%. The duty cycle of the designed ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ modulator output increases about 5% as the input voltage amplitude increases by 100mV. The designed interface circuit shows linearity errors less than 0.13%, and the current consumption is 0.73mA. The proposed circuit is designed in a 0.35um CMOS process with a supply voltage of 3.3V. The size of the designed chip including PADs is $1117um{\times}983um$.

This paper presents the design of single phase PFC(Power Factor Correction) using a DSP(TMS320F2812). In order to realize the proposed boost PFC converter in average current mode control, the DSP requires the A/D sampling values for a line input voltage, a inductor current, and the output voltage of the converter. Because of a FET switching noise, these sampling values contain a high frequency noise and switching ripple. The solution of A/D sampling keeps away from the switching point. Because the PWM duty is changed from 5% to 95%, we can#t decide a fixed sampling time. In this paper, the three A/D converters of the DSP are started using the prediction algorithm for the FET ON/OFF time at every sampling cycle(40 KHz). Implemented A/D sampling algorithm with only one timer of the DSP is very simple and gives the autostart of these A/D converters. From the experimental result, it was shown that the power factor was about 0.99 at wide input voltage, and the output ripple voltage was smaller than 5 Vpp at 80 Vdc output. Finally the parameters and gains of PI controllers are controlled by serial communication with Windows Xp based PC. Also it was shown that the implemented PFC converter can achieve the feasibility and the usefulness.

This paper presents a step-down DC-DC buck converter with a CCM/DCM dual-mode function for the internal power stage of portable electronic device. The proposed converter that is operated with a high frequency of 1 MHz consists of a power stage and a control block. The power stage has a power MOS transistor, inductor, capacitor, and feedback resistors for the control loop. The control part has a pulse width modulation (PWM) block, error amplifier, ramp generator, and oscillator. In this paper, an external capacitor for compensation has been replaced with a multiplier equivalent CMOS circuit for area reduction of integrated circuits. In addition, the circuit includes protection block, such as over voltage protection (OVP), under voltage lock out (UVLO), and thermal shutdown (TSD) block. The proposed circuit was designed and verified using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process parameter by Cadence Spectra circuit design program. The SPICE simulation results showed a peak efficiency of 94.8 %, a ripple voltage of 3.29 mV ripple, and a 1.8 V output voltage with supply voltages ranging from 2.7 to 3.3 V.
