본 논문에서는 한 개의 전하공유 커패시터와 계층적 비트라인을 이용한 저전력 롬을 제안하였다. (single charge-sharing capacitor ROM: SCSC-ROM) 제안된 SCSC-ROM은 전하공유 커패시터와 계층적 비트라인으로 비트라인의 전력소모를 크게 줄였다. 한 개의 전하공유 커패시터를 이용한 전하공유 기법으로 비트라인의 swing 전압을 크게 낮춤으로써 비트라인에서의 전력소모를 줄였다. 이때, 전하공유 커패시터를 dummy 비트라인으로 구현하여 노이즈에 강할 뿐만 아니라 설계를 쉽게 하였다. 계층적 비트라인 기법으로 비트라인의 커패시턴스를 줄임으로써 전력소모를 더욱 줄였다. 또한, 계층적 워드라인 디코더를 제안하여 컨트롤과 프리디코더에서 소모되는 전력을 줄일 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서 $4K{\times}32$비트의 SCSC-ROM의 소모전력은 기존의 롬의 37%로 줄었다. 칩은 $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 제작되었고, 2.5V의 240MHz 동작에서 8.2mW를 소모하였다.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of DC busline switch and snubbing capacitor-assisted full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency link for low voltage large current applications as DC feeding systems, telecommunication power plants, automotive DC bus converters, plasma generator, electro plating plants, fuel cell interfaced power conditioner and arc welding power supplies. The proposed power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer link. The conventional type high frequency inverter circuit is modified by adding a single power semiconductor switching device in series with DC rail and snubbing lossless capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge inverter arms and DC busline can achieve ZVS/ZVT turn-off and ZCS turn-on commutation operation. Therefore, the total switching losses at turn-off and turn-on switching transitions of these power semiconductor devices can be reduced even in the high switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules is selected to be 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by the power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC converter can achieve high performance, lighter in weight, lower power losses and miniaturization in size as compared to the conventional hard switching one. The principle of operation, operation modes, practical and inherent effectiveness of this novel DC-DC power converter topology is proved for a low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies of arc welder applications in industry.

The practical design methodology of a three-phase dual active bridge (3ph-DAB) converter applied to low voltage direct current (LVDC) applications is proposed by using a mathematical model based on the steady-state operation. An analysis of the small-signal model (SSM) is important for the design of a proper controller to improve the stability and dynamics of the converter. The proposed lead-lag controller for the 3ph-DAB converter is designed with a simplified SSM analysis including an equivalent series resistor (ESR) for the output capacitor. The proposed controller can compensate the effects of the ESR zero of the output capacitor in the control-to-output voltage transfer function that can cause high-frequency noises. In addition, the performance of the power converter can be improved by using a controller designed by a SSM analysis without additional cost. The accuracy of the simplified SSM including the ESR zero of the output capacitor is verified by simulation software (PSIM). The design methodology of the 3ph-DAB converter and the performance of the proposed controller are verified by experimental results obtained with a 5-kW prototype 3ph-DAB converter.

본 논문에서는 입력전압 범위가 향상된 저면적 이중출력 스위치드 커패시터 DC-DC 변환기를 제안하였다. 기존의 스위치드 커패시터는 면적이 작고 저렴하지만, 효율적인 전압변환을 하는 입력전압의 범위가 좁고 다중출력의 경우 면적이 커지고 전력효율이 낮아진다. 제안된 스위치드 커패시터 DC-DC 변환기는 입력전압에 따라 커패시터 어레이 구조를 변경하여 최적의 효율을 갖는 입력 범위를 증가시켰다. 그리고 두 개의 스위치 어레이를 공유함으로써 스위치와 커패시터 수를 32개에서 25개로 줄였다. 제안된 변환기는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정에서 제작하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 입력전압 범위는 0.7~1.8V이고, 최대 전력 효율은 90%이며, 칩의 면적은 $0.255mm^2$이다.

This paper presents a novel prototype of active voltage clamped quasi-resonant ZVS-PWM forward DC-DC converter designed for specific low voltage high current application. We establish the soft-switching forward converter with a high frequency isolated link which can efficient operate over wide load ranges under conditions of zero voltage soft-switching and active voltage clamped switching. In addition, we evaluate connection of the soft-switching forward converter with large capacitor which capacitance is over 100[F].

This paper gives a detailed analysis of the direct torque control (DTC) strategy in a five-level drive and proposes a 24-sector switching table. The known problems in low-voltage drives such as bearings currents and an overvoltage phenomenon which leads to premature failure are reviewed and the occurrence of these problems in medium voltage drives has been investigated. Then a solutions to these problems is presented and the switching table to deal with these problems is modified. Simulation and experimental results on a 3kVA prototype confirm the proposed solution. In implementing the above strategy a TMS320F2812 is used.

In this study a new high step-up dc-dc converter is presented. The operation of the proposed converter is based on the capacitor switching and coupled inductor with a single active power switch in its structure. A passive voltage clamp circuit with two capacitors and two diodes is used in the proposed converter for elevating the converter's voltage gain with the recovered energy of the leakage inductor, and for lowering the voltage stress on the power switch. A switch with a low $R_{DS}$ (on) can be adopted to reduce conduction losses. In the generalized mode of the proposed converter, to reach a desired voltage gain, capacitor stages with parallel charge and series discharge techniques are extended from both sides of secondary side of the coupled inductor. The proposed converter has the ability to alleviate the reverse recovery problem of diodes with circuit parameters. The operating principle and steady-states analyses are discussed in detail. A 40W prototype of the proposed converter is implemented in the laboratory to verify its operation.

A new design approach for realising low-power low-voltage high-Q high-order RE bandpass filter is proposed. Based on the gyrator-C inductor topology, a 2$\^$nd/-order biquadratic bandpass filter can be realised by adding a series capacitor to the input port of the gyrator. High-Q 2$\^$nd/-order and 4$\^$th/-order fully differential RF bandpass filters operating in the 2.4-㎓ ISM (Industrial, scientific and medical) frequency band under a 2-V single power supply voltage with low power dissipation are reported.

Various compensators are installed into the power system to operate the system economically and stably by maximizing the availability of utilities and power transmission capability. Fixed Capacitor(FC), Mechanical Switched Capacitor(MSC), and FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission Systems) are used to regulate voltage and power flow of the system. When a disturbance occurs in the power system, the Fixed Capacitor operates dependently on the voltage of the power system and cannot change the amount of installation automatically. But compared to other equipment, the Fixed Capacitor is more economical due to its low cost. Since MSC can change the amount of installation according to the state of the power system, operates more effectively than the Fixed Capacitor. FACTS have fast dynamic performance for the transient condition, but the cost is high. Therefore, it is needed to develop an optimized installation planning for the reactive power compensators by considering their dynamic performance and cost. In this paper, an optimized compensator combination and the proposed scheme is proposed and it is applied to KEPCO system in order to show its capabilities.
