In sensor signal conditioning and processing, offset and drift characteristics of an operational amplifier are an important factor when the amplifier is used for a precise sensor signal amplifier. In order to use it in high accuracy, an expensive trimming or a complex compensation circuit is required. This paper presents the improved sensor signal conditioning and processing device for ubiquitous sensor network(USN) application or general purpose by developing a hardware of the circuit for reducing the offset voltage and drift characteristics, and a software for its control and sensor signal processing. We realize better offset voltage and drift characteristics of the signal conditioning circuit using low cost operational amplifiers. The experimental results show that this technique is effective in improving the performance of the sensor signal processing device.

In this paper, a low-power CMOS interface circuit is designed and demonstrated for capacitive sensor applications, which is implemented using a standard 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS logic technology. To achieve low-power performance, the low-voltage capacitance-to-pulse-width converter based on a self-reset operation at a supply voltage of 1.5 V is designed and incorporated into a new interface circuit. Moreover, the external pulse signal for the reset operation is made unnecessary by the employment of the self-reset operation. At a low supply voltage of 1.5 V, the new circuit requires a total power consumption of 0.47 mW with ultra-low power dissipation of 157 ${\mu}W$ of the interface-circuit core. These results demonstrate that the new interface circuit with self-reset operation successfully reduces power consumption. In addition, a prototype wireless sensor-module with the proposed circuit is successfully implemented for practical applications. Consequently, the new CMOS interface circuit can be used for the sensor applications in ubiquitous sensor networks, where low-power performance is essential.

This paper describes the measurement technology of the dissolved hydrogen gas due to partial discharge in oil using gas sensor. For higher resolution and less error in measurement of the dissolved hydrogen gas in oil, the sensor outputs with ambient temperature which affect the sensor output characteristics should be considered. The sensor output trends with ambient temperature and the properties of the dissolved hydrogen gas in oil with partial discharge characteristic were analyzed through the test results. It was indicated that the sensor peak and the base voltage with measuring time were affected by ambient temperature and the measurement errors of the sensor output by temperature were reduced by using the difference between the peak and the base voltage rather than just the peak voltage. In addition, the hydrogen gas sensor outputs were increased with the increase of partial discharge energy.

A simple and new CMOS potentiostat circuit for amperometric sensor is described. To maintain a constant potential between the reference and working electrodes, only one differential difference amplifier (DDA) is needed in proposed design, while conventional potentiosatat requires at least 2 operational amplifiers and 2 resistors, or more than 3 operational amplifiers and 4 resistors for low voltage CMOS integrated potentiostat. The DDA with rail-to-rail design not only enables the full range operation to supply voltage but also provides simple potentiostat system with small hardwares and low power consumption.

전기광학 소자인 비스무스 실리콘 옥사이드($Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ : 이하 BSO라 칭함)와 편광자(polarizer), 1/4파장판(1/4 waveplate), 검광자(analyzer)와 결합하여 광변조기를 만들었고 이를 전압세선로 이용할 수 있도록 전기광학 측정 시스템을 구성하고 그 특성을 실험하였다. 송수신부인 E/O 변환기 및 O/E 변환기는 LED와 PIN-PD로 구성하여 구동되며 전송로는 코아/클래드경이 $100/140{\mu}m$인 멀티모드 광파이버를 사용하였다. 센서부와 광파이버 사이에는 셀폭 마이크로렌즈로서 결합하였다. 실험에 앞서 맥스웰 방정식과 파동방정식을 이용하여 BSO 단결성 내부에서 일어나는 광파의 전파특성에 관한 행렬식을 구하였고 센서가 갖는 광강도 변조식을 유도하였다. 실험 결과로부터 제작된 BSO 전압 센서는 교류전압 50V~800V(60Hz)에서 ${\pm}2.5{\%}$ 측정오파를 보였다. 인가전압의 증가에 따라 출력의 포화값이 커지는데 이러한 현상은 광강도 변조식에서 센서의 선광성에 기인한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 센서의 온도특성 실험결과 $-20^{\circ}C~60^{\circ}C$에서 변화율은 ${\pm}0.6{\%}$ 이하로 측정되었다. 주파수 특성실험 결과 DC~100KHz까지 양호한 특성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

We describe a charge pump circuit using VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) for storing information into local memories in neural networks. The VCO is used for adjusting the output voltage of the charge pump to the reference voltage and for reducing the fluctuation generated by the clocking scheme. The charge pump circuit is simulated by using Hynix 0.35um CMOS process parameters. The proposed charge pump operates properly regardless to the temperature and the supply voltage variation.

In this paper, a plastic film type submersion sensor capable of measuring submersion speed was developed. This submersion sensor is designed as a capacitive type, and it is a sensor that outputs the change in capacitance between the electrode of the submersion sensor and the grounded body as a voltage through a C-V(capacitance-voltage) converter. We developed an submersion sensor in which two electrodes of different lengths are connected in parallel to measure the submersion speed accurately by minimizing the influence of noise such as contamination. When both electrodes of the submersion sensor are exposed to water, the rate of change of water level suddenly increases, so the submersion speed is measured by measuring the time to this point. Since the difference in length between the two electrodes of the submersion sensor does not change in any case, it is possible to accurately measure the submersion speed.

산업용 표준 센서 신호처리를 위해 다양한 입력신호를 5V 전압 출력으로 변환하는 새로운 디지털 계측 증폭기(DIA)를 설계하였다. 이 계측 증폭기는 상용의 계측증폭기, 7개의 아날로그 스위치, 2개의 1.0V와 -10.0V의 기준전압, 그리고 4개의 저항기로 구성된다. 신호 변환원리는 입력신호에 따라 저항기와 기준전압을 디지털적으로 선택하여 5V의 출력전압을 얻도록 회로 구성을 바꾸는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 DIA는 0V~5V, 1V~5V, -10V~+10V, 그리고 4mA~20mA의 입력신호에 대하여 우수한 0~5V 출력전압 특성을 얻을 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 4가지 입력 신호에 대하여 비선형오차는 0.1%이하이다.
