Some of DC actuators used in home automation, office automation, medical equipment and automotive systems require a position sensor. In low power applications, the introduction of such a transducer remarkably increases the whole system cost, which justifies the development of sensorless position estimation techniques. The well-known AC motor drive sensorless techniques exploiting the fundamental component of the back electromotive force cannot be used on DC motor drives. In addition, the sophisticated approaches based on current or voltage signal injection cannot be used. Therefore, an effective and inexpensive sensorless position estimation technique suitable for DC motors is presented in this paper. This technique exploits the periodic pulses of the armature current caused by commutation. It is based on a simple pulse counting algorithm, suitable for coping with the rather large variability of the pulse frequency and it leads to the realization of a sensorless position control system for low cost, medium performance systems, like those in the field of automotive applications.

The parallel operation system of multiple uninterruptible power supplies(UPSs) is used to increase power capacity of the system or to secure higher reliability at critical loads. In the parallel operation of the two UPSs, the load-sharing control to maintain the current balance between them is a key technique. Because a UPS has low output impedance and quick response characteristics, in case of an unbalanced load inverter output current changes very rapidly and thereby can instantaneously reach an overload condition. In this study, high precise load-sharing controller is proposed and implemented for the parallel operation system of two UPSs with low impedance characteristics and this controller controls the frequency and the voltage to minimize the active power component and the reactive power component which are gotten from the current difference between two UPSs. And then a good performance of the proposed method is verified by experiments in the parallel operation system with two 40KVA UPSs.

In this paper, a new design technique on the LRF which is useful for low power laser and a CBDA(Cummulative Binary Detection Algorithm) is proposed. The LD(Laser Diode) and Si-APD(Silicon Avalanche Photo Diode) are used for saving a power. In order to prove the detection range, the Si-APD binary data are accumulated before the range computation and the range finding algorithm. A prototype of the proposed DLRF(Diode Laser Range Finder) system was made and tested. An experimental result shows that the DLRF system have the same detection range using a less power(almost 1/32) than an usual military LRF. The proposed DLRF can be applied to the Unmanned Vehicles, Robot and Future Combat System of a tiny size and a low power LRF.

Recently, power supplies with low voltage/high current output are widely used, but conventional power supplies have large power loss, and thus the system efficiency is low. However their control technique is complicated and their elements are many. In this paper, Implementation of High Efficiency Soft-switching Flyback Converter is presented. The proposed converter has been implemented to verify the proposed topology with 5V/20A prototype and theoretical operation under various load condition and universal input voltage range.

In this paper, the characteristics of the household AC power line network is analyzed for the low bit rate powerline communication (PLC) in the frequency range from 10㎑ to 450㎑ The PLC channel transfer characteristics including its characteristic impedance are derived based on the network topology which is constructed with the household power lines loaded with the various types of electric apparatus. Both the distributed circuit analysis and the lumped circuit model based analysis are applied for the characterization of the PLC channel and the results are compared by the computer simulations. The analysis illustrates very well the adverse effects caused by the loading of electric apparatus and as well those casued by the reflection of wavers in the household AC Power line communication network.

A cascode low noise amplifier(LNA) for a 2.45GHz RFID reader is designed using 0.25um CMOS technology. There are four LNA design techniques applied to the cascode topology. In this paper, power-constrained simultaneous noise and input matching(PCSNIM) technique is used for low power consumption and achieving the noise matching and input matching simultaneously. Simulation results demonstrate a noise figure of 2.75dB, a power gain of 10.17dB, and a dissipation power of 8.65mW with 1V supply.

Current sensing in power semiconductors involves sensing of over-current in order to protect the device from harsh conditions. This technique is one of the most important functions in stabilizing power semiconductor device modules. The Power MOSFET is very efficient method with low power consumption, fast sensing speed and accuracy. In this paper, we have analyzed the characteristics of proposed sense FET and optimized its electrical characteristics to apply conventional 40 V power MOSFET by numerical and simulation analysis. The proposed sense FET has the n-drift doping concentration $1.5\times10^{14}\;cm^{-3}$, size of $600\;{\mu}m^2$ with $4.5\;{\Omega}$, and off-state leakage current below $50\;{\mu}A$. We offer the layout of the proposed Power MOSFET to process actually. The offerd design and optimization methods are meaningful, which the methods can be applied to the power devices having various breakdown voltages for protection.

This paper proposed a new real-time parameter tracking algorithm. Unlike the convenience algorithms, the proposed real-time parameter tracking algorithm can estimate parameters through three-phase voltage and electric current without coordination transformation, and does not need information on magnetic flux. Therefore, it can estimate parameters regardless of the change according to operation point and cross-saturation effect. In addition, as the quasi-real-time parameter tracking technique can estimate parameters through the four fundamental arithmetic operations instead of complicated algorithms such as numerical value analysis technique and observer design, it can be applied to low-performance DSP. In this paper, a new real-time parameter tracking algorithm is derived from three phase equation. The validity and usefulness of the proposed inductance estimation technique is verified by simulation and experimental results.
