This paper proposes a High Performance Full-Swing BiCMOS (HiF-BiCMOS) circuit which improves on the conventional BiCMOS circuit. The HiF-BiCMOS circuit has all the merits of the conventional BiCMOS circuit and can realize full-swing logic operation. Especially, the speed of full-swing logic operation is much faster than that of conventional full-swing BiCMOS circuit. And the number of transistors added in the HiF-BiCMOS for full-swing logic operation is constant regardless of the number of logic gate inputs. The HiF-BiCMOS circui has high stability to variation of environment factors such as temperature. Also, it has a preamorphized Si layer was changed into the perfect crystal Si after the RTA. Remarkable scalability for power supply voltage according to the development of VLSI technology. The power dissipation of HiF-BiCMOS is very small and hardly increases about a large fanout. Though the Spice simulation, the validity of the proposed circuit design is proved.

In this paper, since the APD(Avalanche Photo Diode) for LTV(Light to Voltage) conversion uses a high voltage in the operating range unlike other PD(Photo Diode)s, the quenching resistor must be connected in series to prevent overcurrent when using the TIA(Transimpedance Amplifier). In such a case, quenching resistance may affect the transfer function of the TIA circuit, resulting in serious stability. Therefore, in this paper, by analyzing the effect of APD quenching resistance on the voltage and current loop transfer function of TIA, we propose a loop analysis and a method for determining the quenching resistance value to improve stability. TIA circuit with quenching resistance was designed by the proposed method and the stability of operation was verified through simulation and chip fabrication.

We report the effect of physical load on the stability of organic solar cells under physical loads. The active layers in organic solar cells were fabricated with bulk heterojunction films (BHJ) films of poly (3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric methyl ester. The loading time was varied up to 60 s by keeping the physical load constant. Results showed that the open circuit voltage was not influenced by the physical load but other solar cell parameters were sensitive to the loading time. The fill factor was very slightly increased at 15 s, while short circuit current density was well kept for 30 s. The power conversion efficiency was reasonably maintained for 45 s but became significantly decreased by the continuous loading for 60 s.

Two old synchronous condensers in Jeju are being replaced by new machines to operate Jeju AC network with Haenam-Jeju HVDC system stably. Before new synchronous condensers operate on site, voltage stability analysis is conducted to verify stable operation of jeju AC network. Through impedance analysis of the synchronous machine, transformer and ac network, the equivalent circuit is constructed and the voltage drop during start-up is calculated. Then, PSS/E fault analysis is performed to acquire short-circuit capacity according to the generator operation scenarios. Voltage variation when starting synchronous condenser is simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC and satisfies the operating condition of jeju AC network and HVDC #1 system.

Global Positioning System(GPS) is a useful system used in both civilian and military applications. However, the signal of GPS is susceptible to jamming attacks due to low receive sensitivity, since the signals come from the satellite located at over 20,000 km above the earth. In this paper, we have conducted a preceding research on a non-Foster matching circuit that efficiently matches an electrically ultra-small GPS antenna. Electrically Small Antennas(ESAs) are inefficient radiators and are difficult to match in wideband due to extremely high quality factor. In order to match small GPS antenna in wideband, a non-Foster matching circuit for a small GPS antenna was designed. A negative impedance converter circuit consisting of Linvill's cross-coupled pair transistors was fabricated and its stability was verified by the time-domain stability analysis. In addition, anechoic chamber measurements show that the non-Foster matching circuit for small GPS antenna can lead bore-sight gain improvement by more than 17 dB.

In this paper, the relationship between stability and gain band-width product (GB) is clear ed by evaluating the feedback gain in the buck-boost switching regulator. Especially, considering the effect of the right-half-plane pole on the stability, we found available region of GB on the stability with the one pole compensation for the feedback circuit.

The miniturization of a DC-to-DC converter in connection with the stability is investigated in this paper. As both the capacitance of the smoothing capacitor and the inductance of the reactor are reduced by rasing the switching frequency, it is known that the stability of the buck converter declines with the switching frequency but the buck-boost converter has a nearly uniform stability. Furthermore, that the buck-boost converter is suitable for the miniturization of circuit is cleared in the high frequency region above a certain switching frequency.

A compact antenna switch module for GSM/DCS dual band applications based on multilayer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate is presented. Its size is $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}0.8 mm^3$ and insertion loss is lower than 1.0 dB at Rx mode and 1.2 dB at Tx mode. To verify the stability of the developed module to the process window, each block that is diplexer, LPF's and bias circuit is measured by probing method in the variation with the thickness of ceramic layer and the correlation between each block is quantified by calculating the VSWR In the mean while, two types of bias circuits -lumped and distributed - are compared. The measurement of each block and the calculation of VSWR give good information on the behavior of full module. The reaction of diplexer to the thickness is similar to those of LPF's and bias circuit, which means good relative matching and low value of VSWR, so total insertion loss is maintained in quite wide range of the thickness of ceramic layer at both band. And lumped type bias circuit has smaller insertion itself and better correspondence with other circuit than distributed stripline structure. Evaluated ceramic module adopting lumped type bias circuit has low insertion loss and wider stability region of thickness over than 6um and this can be suitable for the mass production. Stability characterization by probing method can be applied widely to the development of ceramic modules with embedded passives in them.

The full bridge converter have been used for high power system that is needed to switch the big current. So, EMI and stability problem is occurred. The Soft switching method is the solution to solve the above problem, But implementation of soft switching(ZVS: Zero Voltage Switching) is so complicate and expensive because of the DSP MCU and shift circuit. In this paper, we introduce the technical method for driving circuit of ZVS full bridge converter with 1st order delay circuit and logic elements. The realization of this method is so simple and cheap. The effectiveness of the proposed circuit is verified by experimental results.

The realization by many industrial countries that manufacturing is a critical ingredient for attaining economic strength and stability has led to the development of automated systems which were proviously considered as gimmicks. The adaptive skill of the human operator is now being simulated and reproduced by computer that have become more powerful and less expensive. The work presented in this paper forms an investigation of the effects of dynamic viscosity and load of hydraulic oil an pressures with three different circuit(meter-in, meter-out and bleed off). The experimental results showed that pressures increase with an increase in dynamic viscosity and load in bleed off circuit, but there is no variation of pressure in meter-In meter-out circuit.
