본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$멤리스터와 동일한 동작특성을 갖는 멤리스터 에뮬레이터 회로를 비접지형 회로로 개발하였다. 대부분의 기존 멤리스터 에뮬레이터는 다른 멤리스터나 소자들과의 연결성을 고려하지 않은 접지 식으로 개발된 것들이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 멤리스터 에뮬레이터는 비접지식으로서, 출력 단을 접지할 필요가 없기 때문에 다른 소자들과 연결이 가능하여, 다양한 회로들과의 연결하여 동작을 확인하는데 사용할 수 있다. 개발한 멤리스터 에뮬레이터의 기능을 확인하기 위해서 저항과 직렬로 연결한 회로와 4개의 멤리스터 에뮬레이터를 직렬 및 병렬로 연결한 휘트스톤 브리지 회로를 구성하였다. 또한 이브리지 회로가 신경망 시냅스의 가중치 연산이 가능함을 보였다.

저항, 콘덴서, 및 인턱터와 함께 4의 회로 소자로 알려진 멤리스터가 개발되었으나, 아직 그 전기적 특성이 충분히 해석되지 않고 있다. 멤리스터들은 연결된 극성에 따라서 저항이 증가 혹은 감소하며, 직렬 혹은 병렬연결 형태에 따라서 그 동작 특성이 다양해진다. 본 연구에서는 HP의 $TiO_2$ 멤리스터를 모델로 하여 다양한 직 병렬회로에 대한 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 사인파 입력신호에 대해서 나타나는 전압-전류 간의 히스테르시스 루프의 다양한 모양을 분석하였다. 본 멤리스터 연구결과는 멤리스터 소자에 대한 특성 이해와 논리 회로 및 뉴런 셀에의 응용회로들의 특성을 분석하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Half-rail stacked drivers are used to reduce power consumption of the drivers for synchronous buck converters. In this paper, the stacked driver is optimized by matching the average charging and discharging currents used by high-side and low-side drivers. By matching the two currents, the average intermediate bias voltage can remain constant without the aid of the voltage regulator as long as the voltage ripple stays within the window defined by the hysteresis of the regulator. Thus the optimized driver in this paper can minimize the power consumption in the regulator. The current matching requirement yields the value for the intermediate bias voltage, which deviates from the half-rail voltage. Furthermore the required capacitance is also reduced in this design due to decreased charging current, which results in significantly reduced die area. The detailed analysis and design of the stacked driver is verified through simulations done using 5V MOSFET parameters of a typical 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The difference in power loss between the conventional half-rail driver and the proposed driver is less than 1%. But the conventional half-rail driver has excess charge stored in the capacitor, which will be dissipated in the regulator unless reused by an external circuit. Due to the reduction in the required capacitance, the estimated saving in chip area is approximately 18.5% compared to the half-rail driver.

The speed at which the SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) makes a transition from chopping control to single pulse operation. (i.e., low speed to high speed operation). It is unsatisfied with performance at all operational regimes. In this paper, the operational performance of SRM can be improved by using current hysteresis control method. This method maintains a generally flat current waveform. At the high speed, the current chopping capability is lost due to the development of the back-EMF. Therefore SRM operates in single pulse mode. By using zero-current switching and zero-voltage switching technique, the stress of power switches can be reduce in chopping mode. When the commutation from one phase winding to another phase winding, the current can be zero as fast as possible in this period because several times negative voltage of DC-source voltage produce in phase winding. This paper is compared to performance based on energy efficient C-dump converter topology and the proposed resonant C-dump converter topology. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed circuit.

This paper describes the development of capacitive sensor for the diagnosis of liquid dielectrics, which is widely used as the electrical insulating oil of transformer, circuit breaker, cable and etc. To survey the dielectric properties of the virgin and aged electrical insulating oils, we utilized the highly precise measuring system, using the principle of cross capacitance. The measured properties were used to determine the design factors of the sensor. Then the factors were optimized with the help of computational analysis. To evaluate diagnosis by the sensor, we performed accelerated thermal aging test about electrical insulating oils. The condition of aged specimens were investigated by measurements of relative permittivity i.e. capacitance change by capacitive sensor. And to evaluate the hysteresis characteristics with the change of temperature, we constructed a testing system, which was composed with vacuum drying oven, oil chamber and measuring instruments, such as LCR meter, MUX and so forth. Through the results of this investigation, we confirmed the superior characteristics of the newly developed sensor.

Use of a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique is shown to improve the properties of metal-ferroelectric BaMgF$_{4}$-silicon structures. The fluoride film was deposited in an ultra-high vacuum system at asubstrate temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$. A post-deposition annelaing was conducted for 10 seconds at 600.deg. C in a vacuum of 0.1 Torr, using a home-made RTA apparatus. The results showed that the resistivity of the ferroelectric BaMgF$_{4}$ film from a typical value of 1-2${\times}10^{11}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ before the annealing to about 5${\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and reduce the interface state density of the BaMgF$_{4}$/Si interface to about 8${\times}10^{10}cm^{2}{\cdot}$eV. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements using a sawyer-tower circuit yielded remanent polarization and coercive field values of about 0.5$\mu$C/cm$^{2}$ and 80 kV/cm, respectively. the typical remanent polarization of the BaMgF$_{4}$ films ont he (100) and (111) oreientated silicon wafers were 0.5 - 0.6 $\mu$C/cm$^{2}$ and that of th efilms on the (110) wafers was 1.2$^{\circ}C$/cm$^{2}$.

The $LiNbO_3$ thin films were prepared directly on Si(100) substrates by conventional RF magnetron spurttering system for nonvolatile memory applications. RTA(Rapid Thermal Annealing) treatment was performed for as-deposited films in an oxygen atmosphere at 600 $^{\circ}C$ for 60 s. The rapid thermal annealed films were changed to poly-crystalline ferroelectric nature from amorphous of as-deposition. The resistivity of the ferroelectric $LiNbO_3$ film was increased from a typical value of $1{\sim}2{\times}10^8{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ before the annealing to about $1{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at 500 kV/cm and reduced the interface state density of the $LiNbO_3/Si$ (100) interface to about $1{\times}10^{11}/cm^2{\cdot}eV$. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements using a Sawyer-Tower circuit yielded remanent polarization ($P_r$) and coercive field ($E_c$) values of about 1.2 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 120 kV/cm, respectively.

This paper presents a novel analysis, design, and implementation of a battery charging three-phase high frequency semi-controlled power converter feasible for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The main advantages of the proposed topology include high efficiency; due to lower power losses and reduced number of switching elements, high output power density realization, and reduced passive component ratings proportionally to the frequency. Additional advantages also include grid economic utilization by insuring unity power factor operation under different possible conditions and robustness since short-circuit through a leg is not possible. A high but acceptable total harmonic distortion of the generator currents is introduced in the proposed topology which can be viewed as a minor disadvantage when compared to traditional boost rectifiers. A hysteresis control algorithm is proposed to achieve lower current harmonic distortion for the rectifier operation. The rectifier topology concept, the principle of operation, and control scheme are presented. Additionally, a dc-dc converter is also employed in the rectifier-battery connection. Test results on 50-kHz power converter system are presented and discussed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed topology for PHEV applications.
