We propose an efficient high voltage level shifter for a high side Buck converter driving a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp. The proposed circuit is comprised of a low voltage pulse width modulation (PWM) signal driver, a coupling capacitor, a resistor, and a diode. The proposed method uses a property of a PWM signal. The property is that the signal repeatedly transits between a low and high level at a certain frequency. A low voltage PWM signal is boosted to a high voltage PWM signal through a coupling capacitor using the property of the PWM signal, and the boosted high voltage PWM signal drives a p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor on the high side Buck converter. Experimental results show that the proposed level shifter boosts a low voltage (0 to 20 V) PWM signal at 125 kHz to a high voltage (370 to 380 V) PWM signal with a duty ratio of up to 0.9941.

High-level synthesis는 주어진 동작과 면적, 성능, 전력 소모, 패키징, 테스팅 등의 주어진 제한을 만족하게 구현된 구조적 디자인을 생성한다. 즉 high-level syntehesis란 디지털 시스템의 알고리즘 레벨 서술로부터 레지스터 전달구조의 구현에 이르는 과정을 의미한다. 이러한 high-level synthesis의 과정은 컴파일, 분할, 스케줄링 등의 단계를 거쳐 디지털 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 high-level synthesis의 단계중 분할 과정을 연구하고, 분할 알고리즘 중에서 min-cut 알고리즘과 simulated annealing 알고리즘을 사용하여 비교 분석하였다.

High-level synthesis(HLS)는 주어진 동작(behavior)과 면적(area), 성능(performance), 전력 소비량, 패키징, 테스팅등의 주어진 제한을 만족하게 구현된 구조적 디자인을 생성한다. 즉 high-level synthesis란 디지털 시스템의 알고리즘 단계 서술로부터 레지스터 전달구조의 구현에 이르는 과정을 의미한다. 이러한 high-level synthesis의 과정은 컴파일, 분할(partitioning), 스케줄링(scheduling)등의 단계를 거쳐 디지털 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 high-level synthesis의 단계 중 스케줄링 과정에서 제한조건이 실리콘 면적으로 주어지는 경우에 최적의 functional unit의 수를 찾아내어 최소의 control step에 효과적으로 스케줄링 가능한 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we introduce the implementation of high accurate level sensor system using the pulse wave type magnetostriction sensor. When a current pulse flows along the waveguide, the magnetic field also propagates towards the end of waveguide. When this magnetic field just passes the position of the magnet for level detection, the resultant magnetic field by these two magnetic fields makes a torsional reflected signal. This is used to calculate the time difference between a interrogation pulse wave and this torsional reflected signal. The key elements and characteristics were investigated to implement level sensor system based on this principle. We introduce a method to calculate the speed of ultrasonic reflected signal and how to make a model of sensing coil. In particular, we experiment with the characteristics of the torsional reflected signal according to the changes of the interrogation voltage and displacement. To make high accurate level sensor system, two methods were compared. One is to use the comparator and time counter, the other is STFT(Short Time FFT) which is capable of the time-frequency analysis.

Robustness, payload, and imperceptibility of audio watermarking algorithms are contradictory design issues with high-level security of the watermark. In this study, the major issue in achieving high payload along with adequate robustness against challenging signal-processing attacks is addressed. Moreover, a security code has been strategically used for secure transmission of data, providing tamper detection at the receiver end. The high watermark payload in this work has been achieved by using the complementary features of third-level detailed coefficients of discrete wavelet transform where the human auditory system is not sensitive to alterations in the audio signal. To counter the watermark loss under challenging attacks at high payload, Daubechies wavelets that have an orthogonal property and provide smoother frequencies have been used, which can protect the data from loss under signal-processing attacks. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm has demonstrated adequate robustness against signal processing attacks at 4,884.1 bps. Among the evaluators, 87% have rated the proposed algorithm to be remarkable in terms of transparency.

다양한 데이터 전송속도가 혼합된 고속의 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해 Multi-Code CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 전송 방식이 제안되고 있다. 이 전송방식은 고속의 데이터를 N개의 병렬 저속 데이터 흐름으로 바꾸고, 서로 구별 가능한 PN코드로 확산 후 합하여 발생하는 multi level 신호를 전송한다. 이 multi-level신호는 역방향 link상에서 이동국 송신 출력이 커짐에 따라 인접 서비스 구역에 미치는 간섭양이 증대되는 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 M/B 변환부(multi level to binary level conversion)를 이용하여 multi level의 신호를 binary level 신호로 바꾸어 전송하는 Multi-Code CDMA 전송방식을 제안하고, M/B를 사용한 MC-CDMA 전송방식과 M/B를 사용하지 않은 MC/CDMA 전송방식의 성능을 비교하였다.

In this paper, we have proposed an efficient test generation method for asynchronous circuits. The test generation is based on specification level, especially on Signal Transition Graph(STG)〔1〕 which is a kind of specification method for asynchronous circuits. To conduct a high-level test generation, we have defined a high-level fault model, called single State Transition Fault(STF) model on STG and proposed a test generation algorithm for STF model. The effectiveness of the proposed fault model and its test generation algorithm is shown by experimental results on a set of benchmarks given in the form of STG. Experimental results show that the generated test for the proposed fault model achieves high fault coverage over single input stuck-at fault model with low cost. We have also proposed extended STF model with additional gate-level information to achieve higher fault coverage in cost of longer execution time.

The evaluation and comparison have been made for the EMI noise which was included in the signal from the sensors in the acoustic emission testing for the bottom plate of ground tank at full. The EMI signal has been classified into two types. One is the signal with very short AE count, and this signal possibly can be filtered by front end filter setting of the channel count with low level of 4 and high level of $10^8$. The other EMI signal occurred from CH 1, CH 3 and CH 10, and had high and constant duration with high energy and count (maximun duration > $10^5\;{\mu}s$), and has characteristic gradient of accumulation amplitude distribution. This signal should be removed in the AE signal evaluation by filtering, because this may affect to the total gradient.

This paper has been studied a predistorter which is able to linierizing of RF amplifier using schottkey. If input signal level is low, input signal is delivered directly. And if input signal level is high, input signal Is delivered with decreasing. So RF amplifier always works at saturation region .When this predistorter is used to simplified C-class RF amplifier, we have concluded that efficiency is improved about 3%.

In order to measure signal quality of optical disc such as CD or DVD, jitter is used traditionally. The signal attained from a disc by optical pick-up is processed by analog circuits. And then, binary signal can be obtained by using proper silcer. After the signal is changed into binary format, jitter is calculated as a time difference between the binary signal and the reference time. Jitter is used to express the signal quality. In this paper, a new method that is able to offer more precise measurement of the signal quality fur high density optical disc than the jitter is proposed. We named it LPSNR (Level Peak Signal to Noise Ratio). The relationship between bER (bit error rate) and LPSNR is shown in the paper.
