A novel lossless passive snubber is proposed for soft switching the boost type converters. The proposed snubber does not use any auxiliary switches. but uses two identical snubber capacitors which are charged in parallel at turn off of the main switch and discharged in series at turn on automatically, and the discharged energy is recovered effectively (more than $95[\%]$ recovery) into the output capacitor. Thus, the snubber provides zero voltage switching for the converter main switch, reducing both the turn off losses and the electromagnetic interference(EMI) noise, whitch improves the converter performance. The experimental results of a 20[kHz] 600[W] DC-DC boost converter and a single-phase AC-DC boost rectifier with the new snubber are presented.

The common drive method of the single phase induction motor(SPIM) is to install a start capacitor and a centrifugal switch in series with the auxiliary winding. In this paper, the phase angle voltage sequence controller is proposed to eliminate a start capacitor and a centrifugal switch of SPIM. In comparison with the capacitor start system of SPIM, the proposed control system shows that it contributes to saving the starting current about 57% and to improving of the starting efficiency of SPIM. The proposed starting characteristics of the SPIM is obtained with this strategy through simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents a new ZCS-PWM high frequency inverter. Zero current switching operation is achieved in the whole load range by using a simple auxiliary reverse blocking switch in parallel with series resonant capacitor. Dual duty cycle control scheme is used to provide a wide range of high frequency AC output power regulation that is important in many high frequency inverter applications. It found that a complete soft switching operation can be achieved even for low power setting ranges by introducing high-frequency dual duty cycle control scheme. The proposed high frequency inverter is more suitable for consumer induction heating(IH) applications. The operation and control principle of the proposed high frequency inverter are described and verified through simulated results.

A soft switching converter with wide voltage range operation is investigated in this paper. A series resonant converter is implemented to achieve a high circuit efficiency with soft switching characteristics on power switches and rectifier diodes. To improve the weakness of the narrow voltage range in LLC converters, an alternating current (ac) power switch is used on the primary side to select a half-bridge or full-bridge resonant circuit to implement 4:1 voltage range operation. On the secondary-side, another ac power switch is adopted to select a full-wave rectifier or voltage-doubler rectifier to achiever an additional 2:1 output voltage range. Therefore, the proposed resonant converter has the capacity for 8:1 (320V~40V) wide output voltage operation. A single-stage hybrid resonant converter is employed in the study circuit instead of a two-stage dc converter to achiever wide voltage range operation. As a result, the study converter has better converter efficiency. The theoretical analysis and circuit characteristics are verified by experiments with a prototype circuit.

Background To present the outcomes of the tarsal switch procedure using an anterior approach to correct severe ptosis with poor levator muscle function (<4 mm) with absent or poor Bell's phenomenon. Methods This retrospective case series included 11 patients with severe neurogenic or acquired myogenic palpebral ptosis. All patients underwent the tarsal switch procedure through an anterior approach from 2012 to 2015. Margin reflex distance (MRD1 and MRD2) and the palpebral fissure were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively. Data were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. P-values <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance. Results Surgery was performed on 18 eyelids (11 patients). The median age at surgery was 57 years (range, 29-86 years). Four patients had unilateral ptosis and seven had bilateral ptosis. Nine patients had myogenic ptosis and two had neurogenic ptosis. Postoperatively, the chin-up position improved in all patients. The MRD1 increased statistically significantly, from 0 mm preoperatively to 1.0 mm postoperatively (P=0.001). The MRD2 decreased statistically significantly, from 4.5 mm preoperatively to 3.0 mm postoperatively (P=0.001). The palpebral fissure did not change (4.0 mm preoperatively to 4.0 mm postoperatively) (P=0.13). Conclusions The tarsal switch procedure through an anterior approach is an effective alternative for correcting severe ptosis, especially neurogenic or acquired myogenic ptosis. This procedure can be performed with minimal risk of ocular surface exposure and provides stable outcomes.

본 논문에서는 동작주파수 범위가 DC에서부터 3GHz인 MMIC SPST(Single Pole Single Throw) 스위치를 설계 및 제작하였다. 스위치 회로 설계에 앞서 성능을 정확히 예측하기 위하여 스위치 소자의 소신호 및 대신호 모델이 필요하며, 새로이 제안된 스위치 소자의 소신호 등가회로 모델 파라미터들은 측정된 5-파라미터로부터 최적화 기법을 사용하여 추출하였다. 이때 예측된 초기값과 경계구간을 사용함으로써 최적화 기법이 가지고 있는 문제점을 보완하였다. 대신호 모델은 측정된 DC 데이터로부터 경험식의 파라미터들을 추출함으로써 전류원을 모델링하였고, 드레인-소오스간 바이어스 전압을 변화시켜 측정한 5-파라미터로부터 채널 커패시턴스 값을 추출함으로써 전하 모델을 도출하였다. 이를 초고주파 회로 시뮬레이터에 적용하여 일반적인 직렬-병렬구조의 SPST 스위치와 격리도를 개선한 SPST 스위치를 설계하였으며, 개선된 SPST 스위치 경우 3GHz의 동작주파수에서 0/-3V의 컨트롤 전압을 인가하머 측정한 결과 삽입손실은 0.302dB, 격리도는 35.762dB, 입출력 VSWR은 각각 1.249와 1.254이며, PldB는 약 15.7dBm이다.

여러 배터리 셀을 직렬로 연결해서 사용하는 BMS에서 사용 가능 용량을 최대화시키기 위하여 각 셀의 전압을 같도록 맞춰주는 셀 밸런싱 기술이 필요하다. 다중 권선 변압기를 사용하는 능동 셀 밸런싱 회로에서 셀 간 직접적 (direct cell-to-cell)으로 에너지를 전달하는 밸런싱 회로는 PMOS 스위치와 NMOS 스위치를 구동하기 위한 게이트 구동 칩은 PMOS 스위치와 NMOS 스위치 개수 만큼 TLP2748 포토커플러(photocoupler)와 TLP2745 포토커플러가 필요하므로 원가가 증가하고 집적도가 떨어진다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 포토커플러를 사용하여 PMOS와 NMOS 스위칭소자를 구동하는 대신 70V BCD 공정기반의 PMOS 게이트 구동회로와 NMOS 게이트 구동회로, 스위칭 시간이 개선된 PMOS 게이트 구동회로와 NMOS 게이트 구동회로를 제안하였다. 스위칭 시간이 개선된 PMOS 게이트 구동 스위치의 ${\Delta}t$는 8.9ns이고, NMOS 게이트 구동 스위치의 ${\Delta}t$는 9.9ns로 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

Semiconductor devices can be series stacked for the application of high voltage switching. It can provide high reliability and long lifetime by the safe design with a reasonable margin. The equal voltage distribution at solid-state switches in series should be guaranteed. Static and dynamic voltage division, over current protection must be considered carefully in the design stage. A fast switching thyristor is a good candidate for the high power pulse applications. A high voltage switching module is designed and tested. Its specifications are working voltage of 70 kV, switching pulse width of 120${\mu}s$, peak switching current of 220A, maximum repetition rate of 200pps. The module can be series connected to get higher working voltage. This paper presents the design details and the test results are compared with expected circuit simulations.

기존의 저궤도 인공위성 전력계 시스템에 사용된 직렬 구조, 병렬 구조는 공전 주기 동안 두 번의 전력변환 과정을 거쳐 시스템의 효율을 감소시킨다. 직-병렬 구조는 한 번의 전력변환 과정을 거쳐 시스템의 효율을 향상시키지만 레귤레이터가 추가됨으로써 시스템의 비용과 무게, 크기를 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 레귤레이터의 추가 없이 시스템의 효율을 향상시키는 단순화된 직-병렬 구조를 제안한다. 인공위성이 지구를 공전하는 동안 상황에 따라 변화하는 제안한 구조의 동작을 네 가지 모드로 분류하고, 각 모드마다 제안한 시스템을 안정적인 동작을 확인하기 위하여 대신호 분석을 수행하였다. 실험을 통하여 기존의 직렬구조와 제안한 구조의 효율을 비교하였다. 제안한 구조의 안정적인 동작을 검증하기 위해 200W급 태양전지와 TMS320F2812 DSP로 제어되는 100W급 전력조절기 두 모듈을 병렬로 구성하여 실험하였다.

Power conversion system of high performance requires high switching frequency power converter. In order to minimize commutation stress and switching losses, in this paper, AC-DC converter is embedded a partial resonant DC-Link circuit with the object of ZVCS(zero voltage switching and zero current switching). The partial resonant occurs just before converter switch operates. Thus, VA ratings of the elements and their dissipations due to effective series resistance (ESR) are very low. Some simulative results on computer are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.
