An efficient sustain driver and a useful reset circuit composition technique are proposed for plasma display panel drive. The proposed sustain driver uses a series resonance between an external inductor and a panel to recover the energy dissipated by a capacitive displacement current of PDP. It consists of four switching devices, an inductor, and external capacitors, which supply sustain voltage sources. Although the amplitude of an input voltage source is twice as high as that of conventional sustain drivers, average voltage stress imposed on power switching devices is nearly same in their values. Moreover, the input voltage source can be directly applied for the use of a reset voltage source. Owing to this scheme, the proposed sustain driver and the embedded reset circuit have a simple configuration. The operational principle and design example are given with theoretical analyses. The validity of the proposed drive system is verified through experiments using a prototype equipped with a 7.5-inch-diagonal AC plasma display panel.

In LD driver with HBT's. the speed characteristics of HBT's are deteriorated very much mainly due to the source resistance(Rs) of the signal applied to the LD driving HBT. We improved the bandwidth of LD driver by 2-5GHz with modifications of EF buffer. Because the modified buffers are composed of EF structure, their bandwidths are decreased rapidly as Rs is increased. When Rs is large these buffers decrease the bandwidth of the LD driver rather than increase it. To solve this problem, we propose a new buffer structure which contaings new charging and discharging path for the parasitic collector capacitance of the HBT. For Rs>100${\Omega}$, it shows superior characteristics of improving bandwidth to the EF buffers. It also shows good gain characteristics.

As a new algorithm for RC tree delay estimation, we propose a $\tau$-model of the driver and a moment propagation method. The $\tau$-model represents the driver as a Thevenin equivalent circuit which has a one-time-constant voltage source and a linear resistor. The new driver model estimates the input voltage waveform applied to the RC more accurately than the k-factor model or the 2-piece waveform model. Compared with Elmore method, which is a lst-order approximation, the moment propagation method, which uses $\pi$-model loads to calculate the moments of the voltage waveform on each node of RC trees, gives more accurate results by performing higher-order approximations with the same simple tree walking algorithm. In addition, for the instability problem which is common to all the approximation methods using the moment matching technique, we propose a heuristic method which guarantees a stable and accureate 2nd order approximation. The proposed driver model and the moment propagation method give an accureacy close to SPICE results and more than 1000 times speedup over circuit level simulations for RC trees and FPGA interconnects in which the interconnect delay is dominant.

A power tool is a tool used to manufacture and process various structures using a motor that is a power source. Using a motor that uses electricity as a power source, a reduction device, power transmission and conversion device functions are built-in to make the tool rotate, reciprocate, and vibrate. It is a work tool designed to assist the user's movement skills. In the case of Korea, the power tool industry has a short history and is lagging behind advanced countries such as Germany, the United States, and Japan in terms of technology level, market share, and recognition. In addition, electric drivers used in Korea are foreign products from the US and European countries, and the domestic market also prefers 100% foreign companies, and multinational companies are investing a lot in the domestic market. Therefore, technological development must follow in order to develop domestic technology and secure a consistently high market share. The purpose of this thesis is to design a motor driver with high output performance of motor performance, miniaturization, and high speed in accordance with the basic performance requirements of power tools, and finally research developments that can be applied to industrial and medical applications.

The aim of study is to suggest the design procedure of automobile headlamp by considering driver's experience in regard of the visibility and glare during nighttime driving. The characteristics of driver were investigated in terms of the drivers' cognitive ability and reaction time, headlamp specification and visibility, light source and glare. And, the degree of visual discomfort was categorized and recognized as a tool to represent the subjective user experience. The UX point of view was stated when the existing results were seemingly lacking of it. The visual comfort and safety of elderly drivers were also discussed by reviewing the studies of ageing regarding the visibility and driving responses. Finally, this study suggested how to reduce the negative effect of nighttime driving due to the height of headlamp, angle of lighting, color spectrum, discomfort glare, source of light by using the UX perspective and methodology.

A novel current-fed energy-recovery sustaining driver (CFERSD) for a PDP is proposed in this paper. Its main idea is to recover the energy stored in the PDP or to inject the input source energy to the PDP by using the current source built-up in the energy recovery inductor. This method provides zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) of all main power switches, the reduction of EMI, and more improved operational voltage margins with the aid of the discharge current compensation. In addition, since the current flowing through the energy recovery inductor can compensate the plasma discharge current flowing through the conducting power switches, the current stress through all main power switches can be considerably reduced. Furthermore, it features a low conduction loss and fast transient time. Operations, features and design considerations are presented and verified experimentally on a 1020X106mm sized PDP, 50kHz-switching frequency, and sustaining voltage 140V based prototype.

Recently, the unipolar gate power source is preferred in inverter system because of cost reduction reason. In this case, designer uses 0V source for turning-off the switching devices instead of negative voltage at Vee source. If the gate driver circuit has some stray inductance, the gate voltage would happen a surge voltage. This paper analyzes that of stray inductance effect during the switching behavior in the circuit and the proposed solutions were verified by pulse test.
