A Hybrid Fault Current Limiter(FCL) which has more advantages in fast response and thermal characteristics than a simple resistive FCL had been proposed by our group. The Hybrid FCL consists of a resistive FCL for the magnitude of the first peak of fault current, and a fast switch for detecting fault current and generating the repulsive force within a cycle in fault situation. In ideal case, the impedance of the fast switch wound with two other kinds of HTS tape is negligibly zero in normal operation. But, during the fault situation, each HTS tape has different quench characteristics because of asymmetric current distribution. And this phenomenon causes effective flux and this flux opens the switch through the repulsive force applied to a metal plate of the fast switch. The magnitude of the repulsive force affects the switching characteristics of the fast switch. It should be large enough to raise the metal plate up. Otherwise the arc re-out break which are caused by not enough repulsive force to raise the metal plate up can cause unintended operation of the fast switch. In this paper, the numerical calculation of the repulsive force applied to the metal plate of the fast switch in various combinations of HTS tapes was performed by using the short-circuit test and finite element method.

Recently complexity of embedded software cause to be used real-time operating system (RTOS) to implement various functions in the embedded system. And also, according to requirement of complex functions in embedded systems, the number as well as complexity of tasks get increased continuously. In case that many tasks collaborated in a microprocessor, context switching time between tasks is a overhead waisting a CPU resource. Therefore the time of task context switching is an important factor that affects performance of RTOS. In this paper, we concentrate on the improvement of task context switch for reducing overhead and achieving fast response time in RTOS. To achieve these goal, we suggest multiple register files and task context switching algorithm. By reducing the context switch overhead, we try to ease scheduling and assure fast response times in multitasking environment. As a result, the context switch overhead decreased by 8~16% depend on the number of register files, and some task set which are not schedulable with single register file are schedulable due to that decrease with multiple register files.

입자가속기는 물질의 미세 구조를 밝히기 위해 기본 입자를 가속, 충돌시키는 장치로 최근 암치료 등 의학적 용도로도 이용되고 있다. 그러나 고속으로 고압을 인가시켜야 하는 장치인 만큼 기존에 명확히 설립된 회로가 없다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Ion gate를 등가회로로 구성하여 Fast Switch 장치의 기본 회로를 제안 및 분석, 실험하였다. 또한 기본 회로에서 발생하는 문제들을 개선하고자 RC Input filter와 기타 파라미터들의 설계와 Fast switch와 Ion gate를 잇는 wire 내의 기생성분을 고찰하였고 Ion gate 구동을 위해 기준이 되는 명확한 Fast switch 회로를 제안한다.

A 120kV/70A high voltage switch has been installed at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute in Taejon to supply power with Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) system. NBI system requires fast cutoff of the power supply voltage for protection of the grid when arc detected and fast turn-on the voltage for sustaining the beam current. Therefore the high voltage switch and arc current detection circuit are important part of the NBI power supply and there are much need for high voltage solid state switches in NBI system and a broad area of applications.

This paper presents the detailed design of 120kV/70A high voltage MOSFETs switch and simple gate drive circuit.

This paper proposes a 250 mV supply voltage digital low-dropout (LDO) regulator. The proposed LDO regulator reduces the supply voltage to 250 mV by implementing with all digital circuits in a$0.11{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The fast current tracking scheme achieves the fast settling time of the output voltage by eliminating the ringing problem. The over-voltage and under-voltage detection circuits decrease the overshoot and undershoot voltages by changing the switch array current rapidly. The switch bias circuit reduces the size of the current switch array to 1/3, which applies a forward body bias voltage at low supply voltage. The fabricated LDO regulator worked at 0.25 V to 1.2 V supply voltage. It achieved 250 mV supply voltage and 220 mV output voltage with 99.5% current efficiency and 8 mV ripple voltage at $20{\mu}A$ to $200{\mu}A$ load current.

As we know, gigabit ethernet is a new technology to be substituted for current fast ethernet used widely in local area network. The switch used in gigabit ethernet should deal with frames in giga-bps. To do such a fast switching, we need that serveral processes meet the budgets, such as MAC address table lookup, several giga speed path setup, fast scheduling, and etc. Especially MAC address table lookup has to be processed in the same speed with speed of incoming packets, thus the bottleneck in the process can cause packet loss by the overflow in the input buffer. We devise new practical hardware hashing method to perform fast table lookup by minimizing the number of external memory access and accelerating with hardware.
