부산도시철도 추진장치를 종합 제어하는 Chopper Gate Control Unit는 다수의 전자 전기부품, PCB, 전원공급기, 게이트회로증폭기, 프레온가스냉각기, 보호회로 등으로 구성되어 있는 주요장치로서 일본 미씨비시에서 생산된 제품을 사용하고 있다. 최근에는 초퍼장치의 고장 및 시험기 에러가 자주 발생하여 원인분석 결과 Chopper Gate Control Unit內 LPF(Lower Pass Filter)의 장기사용(약25년)으로 인한 노후화와 성능저하가 주요 원인이었음을 밝혀내고 물품구매를 위해 제작사에 문의 하였으나 이미 생산이 중단된 제품으로 별도 주문 제작시에는 고가의 비용이 발생한다. LPF는 몰딩처리가 되어있는 부품으로 수선이 불가하여 자체기술력으로 연구 개발하여 현재 부산도시철도 1호선 전동차에 13set를 적용하여 운영하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연산 증폭기(OP Amp)와 저항, 콘덴서 등의 조합으로 자체개발한 능동필터인 Active LPF의 특성분석, 회로해석 및 설계, 다기능분석기, 스펙트럼분석기, 오실로스코프 등을 이용한 파형특성과 PS Pice 시뮬레이션 시험결과 등 개발에 관한 연구내용을 다루었다.

본 논문에서는 센서 신호를 전류형태로 수신할 때 유리한 노튼 증폭기에서 전류 입력 시 발생하는 문제점을 분석하고 이를 개선하기 위한 회로를 제시하였다. 출력전압이 일정하게 유지되는 특성을 지닌 연산 증폭기로 구성된 버퍼회로의 출력을 전류의 입력단으로 활용하고, 이 때 버퍼회로에 흐르는 전원전류를 감지해 전류 입력단에서 유입되는 전류를 추출하도록 구성하였다. 제시한 회로의 성능을 확인하기 위해 회로를 구성하고 실험용 전류를 입력했을 때 나타나는 결과를 확인하였으며, 동일한 조건을 노튼 증폭기에 적용했을 때의 결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 기존의 노튼 증폭기에서 문제가 되었던 입력 오프셋 전압이 제시한 회로에서는 0V로서 제거되었고, 입력전류에 대한 출력전압의 평균오차는 무려 4.755%로 크게 줄어드는 등 전체적인 특성이 크게 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) devices make it possible to operate with no electrical loss by resistance. If, however, the applied current is over its critical current, the phase of HTS devices is changed to normal state, so called, quench. In this case, since resistance of HTS is increased abruptly, it can not be avoidable to damage the whole apparatus. In this study, quench detector to protect HTS devices was proposed. We designed the quench detecting circuit and tested the performance of the circuit. The detecting circuit was consisted of Op-Amp and low pass filter etc, to detect very low voltage around $1{\mu}V$. The circuit detected effectively the low voltage when over current is applied to HTS tapes. At the next step, we are going to apply and test the circuit to protect the prototype HTS cable.

This paper proposes a new passive type LED driver which satisfies the standard of power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD). The proposed passive LED driver also has high-efficiency and long-life time characteristics compared to active LED driver which is composed of op-amp, switches and so on. By using just passive components such as inductor, capacitor, and diode, it has resolved extremely short-life time and low-efficiency problems of previous LED drivers. It has achieved PF of 0.99, THD of 16.4 %, and the total efficiency of 95 %. The proposed passive LED driver is fully analyzed and verified by simulations and experiments, which results are in good agreement each other.

This paper describes system modeling and controller design method in the measured signal by discrete Fourier transform. Transfer function of the second order system is estimated by the dominant parameter which is computed in the magnitude and the phase of Fourier spectrum of the measured signal. In addition, the controller was designed by the estimated transfer function, and the results were compared. The proposed estimation method of transfer function contains only a very simple mathematical process. Therefore, it is effective to design the controller in the measured signal when the output of the system contains the characteristics of complex exponential functions case. The proposed method was applied on Op-Amp system to verify the efficiency and the reliability. The results show that the proposed algorithms are highly applicable to the system modeling and controller design in the measured data.

This paper presents a variable gain amplifier (VGA) for an analog front-end (AFE) of ultrasound medical imaging. This VGA has a closed-loop topology and shows a 37-dB-linear characteristic with a single-stage amplifier. It consists of an op-amp, a non-binary-weighted capacitor array, and a gain-control block. This non-binary-weighted capacitor array reduces the required number of capacitors and the complexity of the gain-control block. The VGA has been fabricated in a 0.35-mm CMOS process. This work gives the largest gain range of 37 dB per stage, the largest P1 dB of 9.5 dBm at the 3.3-V among the recent VGA circuits available in the literature. The voltage gain is controlled in the range of [-10, 27] dB in a linear-in-dB scale with 16 steps by a 4-bit digital code. The VGA has a bandpass characteristic with a passband of [20 kHz, 8 MHz].

Structural vibration control using a piezoelectric shunt is an established control technique. This technique involves connecting a piezoelectric patch, which is bonded onto or embedded into the vibrating structure, to an electric shunt circuit. Thus, vibration energy is converted into electrical energy and is dissipated through a network of electrical components. Different configurations of shunt have been researched, among which the negative capacitance-inductance shunt has gained prominence recently. It is basically an analog, active circuit consisting of operational amplifiers and passive elements to introduce real and imaginary impedance on the vibrating structure. The present study attempts to model the behavior of a negative capacitance-inductance shunt in terms of power output and efficiency using circuit modeling software. The shunt model is validated experimentally and is used to control the structural vibration of an aluminum beam, connected to a pair of piezoelectric patches, under broadband excitation. The model is also used to determine the optimal parameters of a negative capacitance-inductance shunt to increase the efficiency and predict the voltage output limit of op-amp against the supply voltage.

The Monte-Carlo (MC) technique is very efficient solution for statistical problem. Various MC methods can easily be applied to statistical circuit performance analysis. Recently, as the number of process parameters and their impact, has increasingly affected circuit performance, a sufficient sample size is required in order to consider high dimensionality, profound nonlinearity, and stringent accuracy requirements. Also, it is important to identify the performance of circuit as soon as possible. In this paper, Fast MC method is proposed for efficient analysis of circuit performance. The proposed method analyzes performance using enhanced-precision Latin Hypercube Sampling Monte Carlo (LHSMC). To increase the accuracy of the analysis, we calculate the effective dimension for the low discrepancy value on critical parameters. This will guarantee a robust input vector for the critical parameters. Using a 90nm process parameter and OP-AMP, we verified the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method in comparison with the standard MC, LHS and Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC).

A fully-differential low-voltage low-power electrocardiogram (ECG) amplifier by using the nonfeedback PMOS pseudo-resistors is proposed. It consists of two operational-transconductance amplifiers (OTA) in series (a preamplifier and a variable-gain amplifier). To make it insensitive to the gate leakage current of the OTA input transistor, the feedback pseudo-resistor of the conventional ECG amplifier is moved to input branch between the OP amp summing node and the DC reference voltage. Also, an OTA circuit with a Gm boosting block without reducing the output resistance (Ro) is proposed to maximize the OTA DC gain. The measurements shows the frequency bandwidth from 7 Hz to 480 Hz, the midband gain programmable from 48.7 dB to 59.5 dB, the total harmonic distortion (THD) less than 1.21% with a full voltage swing, and the power consumption of 233 nW in a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process at the supply voltage of 0.7 V.
