저전력 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템용 FFT(Fast-Fourier-Transform) LSI를 저전력 동작을 시키기 위해서 FFT LSI는 current-mode 회로로 구현되었다. Current-mode FFT LSI에서, VIC(Voltage-to-current converter)는 입력 전압 신호를 전류로 바꾸는 first main device이다. 저전력 OFDM을 위해 FFT LSI와 VIC가 한 개의 칩과 결합되는 것을 고려하면, VIC는 전력 손실은 낮고, VIC와 FFT LSI 사이에서의 DC offset 전류는 최소인 작은 크기의 chip으로 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 VIC를 제안한다. 선형 동작구간을 넓히고 DC offset 전류를 대폭 감소하는 방법을 제시하였다. VIC는 0.35[um] CMOS process로 구현되었으며, 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면 제안된 VIC는 current-mode FFT LSI와 0.1[uA] 미만의 매우 작은 DC offset 전류, 1.4[V]의 넓은 선형구간을 갖으며, 저전력으로 동작한다.

buck type converter doesn't appear when an input voltag eis lower than an output voltage. This is the main reason the buck converter has not been used for high power factor converters. In this paper, soft switching high power factor buck converter is proposed. This converter is composed of diode rectifier, input capacitor can be small enough to filter input current, buck converter with loss less snubber circuit. Converter is operated in discontinous conduction mode, turn on of the switching device is a zero current switching (ZCS) and high powr factor input is obtianed. In addition, zero voltage switching (ZVS) at trun off is achieved and switching loss is reduced using loss less snubber circuit. The capacitor used in the snubber circuit raised output voltage. Therefore, proposed converter has higher output voltage and higher efficiency than conventional buck type converter at same duty factor in discontinous conduction mode operation. High power factro, efficiency, soft switching operation of proposed converter is veified by simulation using Pspice and experimental results.

In this paper, dc-dc buck converter controled by the peak current-mode pulse-width-modulation (PWM) presented. Based on the small-signal model, we propose the novel methods of the power stage and the systematic stability designs. To improve the reliability and performance, over-temperature and over-current protection circuits have been designed in the dc-dc converter systems. To prevent electrostatic An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is proposed. The proposed dc-dc converter circuit exhibits low triggering voltage by using the gate-substrate biasing techniques. Throughout the circuit simulation, it confirms that the proposed ESD protection circuit has lower triggering voltage(4.1V) than that of conventional ggNMOS (8.2V). The circuit simulation is performed by Mathlab and HSPICE programs utilizing the 0.35um BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) process parameters.

This paper suggest away to maintain constant power through trolley wire by transferring increased line voltage to the AC main line while changing the mode from Converter(Forward) to Inverter(Reverse) when the line voltage is increased due to regenerative power when the train stops, This paper suggests a Double Converter DC substation that can create regenerative power when the train stops reusable. We also proposed using a simulation tool, the optimal Thyrister firing angle that can minimize the undershoot and overshoot that occurs when transferring the mode from Converter to Inverter for quality improvement of DC voltage in the Double Converter in the DC substation from the Busan Urban Subway.

In general, there are various types of boost converters such as Boost converters, Buck-Boost converters, Flyback converters, Push-Pull converters, etc. Among them, Boost converters are the most widely used and step up converters in a very simple form. However, Boost converter has DCM mode operation, big ripple problem and RHPZ problem. In order to solve these problems, a converter to which the new topology was applied was presented, but among them, the KY converter improved the Boost converter's DCM mode operation, the big ripple problem and the RHPZ problem. However, the conventional KY converter has a drawback that the voltage gain is relatively lower than that of the Boost converter. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new KY converter that solves the problem of low voltage gain while having the advantages of the conventional KY converter.

In this paper, analysis and control design of ac-dc converter, normally nonlinear time-varying system, using sliding mode controller to achieve fast output voltage response, disturbance rejection and robust system in the presence of load variation are demonstrated. The objective of this method is to develop methodology for output voltage to be constant and input current sinusoidal that results in nearly unity power factor, respectively. In addition the converter can be also bidirectional power flow. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink show the effectiveness of sliding mode control system compared with linear feedback controller to guarantee enhanced PF>0.98, THD<5%, and ripple output voltage is less than 1% at the maximum output power.

In this paper, a low power and high speed flash Analog-to-Digital Converter using current-mode concept is proposed. Current-mode approach offers a number of advantages over conventional voltage-mode approach, such as lower power consumption small chip area improved accuracy etc. Rescently this concept was applied to algorithmic A/D Converter. But, its conversion speed is limited to medium speed. Consequently this converter is not applicable to the high speed signal processing system. This ADC is fabricated in 1.2um double metal CMOS standard process. This ADC's conversion time is measured to be 7MHz, and power consumption is 2.0mW, and differential nonlinearity is less than 1.14LSB and total harmonic distortion is -50dB. The active area of analog chip is about 350 x 550u$m^2$. The proposed ADC seems suitable for a single chip design of digital signal processing system required high conversion speed, high resolution small chip area and low power consumption.

This paper describes a High-Speed 8-bit Current-Mode BiCMOS A/D Converter. The characteristics of this A/D Converter are as fellows. First, as ADC is operating in current-mode we can obtain the properties of increase of converting speed, low noise, and wideband. Second, the properties of high switching speed in bipolar transistor and of high packing density, low power consumption in MOS trnsistor are combined. Finally we reduce chip area by designing it with subranging mode and improve the converting speed by performing subtraction directly, which doesn't need D/A convertings, using current switching element. This converter is composed of two 4-bit ADC, current soure array which provides signal and reference current, current comparator and encoding network.
