In this study, the electrical characteristics of high-voltage LDMOSFET fabricated by the existing CMOS technology were investigated depending on its process and design parameter. In order to verify the experimental data, two-dimensional device simulation was carried out simultaneously. The off- state breakdown voltages of n-channel LDMOSFETs were increased nearly in proportional to the drift region length. For the case of decreasing n-well ion implant doses from $1.0\times{10}^{13}/cm^2$ to $1.0\times{10}^{12}/cm^2$, the off-state breakdown voltage was increased approximately two times. The on-resistance was also increased about 76 %. From 2-D simulation, the increase in the breakdown voltage was attributed to a reduction in the maximum electric field of LDMOS imolanted with low dose as well as to a shift toward n+ drain region. Moreover, the on- and off-state breakdown voltages were also linearly increased with increasing the channel to n-tub spacing due to the reduction of impact ionization at the drift region. The experimental and design data of these high-voltage LDMOS devices can widely applied to design smart power ICs with low-voltage CMOS control and high-voltage driving circuits on the same chip.

In this paper, a new scheme of a boosted voltage generator (BVG) is designed for low powr DRAM's. The designed BVG can supply stable $V_{pp}$ using a new circuit operting method. This method controls charge pumping capability by switching the supply voltage and ring oscillator frequency of driving circuit, so the BVG can save area and reduce the powr dissipation during $V_{pp}$ maintaining period. The charge pumping circuit of the BVG suffers no $V_{T}$ loss and is to be applicable to low-voltage DRAM's. $V_{pp}$ level detecting circuit can detect constant value of $V_{pp}$ against temperature variation. The level of $V_{pp}$ varies -0.55%~0.098% during its maintaining period. Charge pumping circuit can make $V_{pp}$ level up to 2.95V with $V_{cc}$ =1.5V. The degecting level of $V_{pp}$ level detecting circuit changes -0.34% ~ 0.01% as temperature varies from -20 to 80.deg. C. The powr dissipation during V.$_{pp}$ maintaining period is 4.1mW.W.1mW.

Induction motors are used widely in driving load of a fluid, such as a pump or a fan in the industry. Induction motor has been generated the voltage drop by the occurrence of a high current during startup. In addition, high start-up current can act as a mechanical stress on the shaft of the motor. So there is need a way to reduce the starting current. Soft start method is one of the many ways to reduce the starting current. This method uses silicon-controlled rectifiers(SCRs) for varying value of the voltage applied to the motor. There is a case for fixing or changing the thyristor firing angle to adjust the magnitude of the voltage. Starting power factor of induction motor is very low compared to the normal operation. Soft starting with the firing angle fixed needs to be considered a low power factor at startup. In this study, we compared the direct start characteristics and soft start characteristics considering the low power factor at the time of start-up. It was possible to confirm that the starting current and the voltage drop is present differently according to the firing angle.

In this paper, the variable tendency piezoelectric constant and resonance characteristics piezoelectric ceramics due to the electric field is studied. The practical application of piezoelectric ceramics is not only applied in field of small signal. For example, in case of an ultrasonic motor, $120{\sim}130Vrms$ of driving voltage is needed and that of an piezoelectric pump, $200{\sim}220Vrms$ of voltage is required. Therefore, to examine the characteristics of piezoelectric ceramics in large signal contributes to reducing the susceptibility to the multifarious application and securing the ease of the production of control circuit. These contributions may be connected to the expansion of industrial application. We fabricated disk-type piezoelectric ceramic samples by using conventional method and measured the resonance characteristics of these samples under from low to high voltage driving conditions. According to increasing the value of the input voltage, we measured the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric ceramic, and inquired into the cause of these phenomena.

This study uses the algorithm which estimates the magnetic flux using different models in the low speed driving area and the high speed driving area by the voltage-current model synthesis magnetic flux Estimator and, from this result, estimates the magnetic flux angle to achieve the stable speed control through all the areas from the low speed to the high speed drive. In particular, the current change and the magnetic flux change under variable load were estimated in real time in the low speed area and this made the control characteristic improved in the low speed area. According to this, even under variable load, the more stable simulation and experiment could have been completed using PI current controller and PI flux controller in all the areas. As a result, the outstanding speed control characteristic has been achieved.

We study theoretically optical properties of thin layered stacked monochrome cholesteric liquid-crystal displays. Thin thickness of the layers (${\sim}1{\mu}m$) allows us appreciably to reduce driving voltage and use such displays in smart cards. Good selective reflection is achieved due to stacked structure. Dependence of the reflectivity of this type of displays on the quantity of the layers, their thickness, and liquid crystal birefringence is investigated.

The active-matrix field emission display (AMFED) was fabricated by integrating carbon nanotube emitters on a-Si thin-film transistors. Also, the tapered macro-gate was adopted for high immunity to a high anode voltage and strong electron beam focusing. The fabricated AMFED was successfully driven with a low voltage of below 15 V.

A new low-temperature poly-Si TFT employing a counter-doped lateral body terminal is proposed and fabricated, in order to enhance the stability of poly-Si TFT driving circuits. The LBT structure effectively suppresses the kink effect by collecting the counter-polarity carriers and suppresses the hot carrier effect by reducing the peak lateral field at the drain junction. The proposed device is immune to dynamic stress, so that it is suitable for low voltage and high speed driving circuits of AMLCD.

This paper proposed a new driving method for the stable lighting of CDM lamps. To avoid the acoustic resonance in the proposed method, the inverter output voltage will be a low frequency rectangular waveform containing a sinusoidal voltage ripple with high frequency. Moreover, the realtime power control of the inverter can be achieved by the control of switching currents. To verify the validity of tile proposed method, a prototype set-up was build and the experimental results are presented in this paper.

We proposed the new structure of ac plasma display panel(PDP) to improve the luminous efficacy and driving voltage characteristics. Through two-dimensional numerical simulations, we analyzed the effects of new counter discharge type, which consists of counter sustain electrodes and auxiliary electrodes. Generally, an advantage of AC PDP with the counter sustain electrodes has been known for the driving characteristics of the low voltage. In this work, the new counter structure using the ignition discharge by the auxiliary pulse applied to the address electrode showed the result of the increased luminous efficacy. The short gap discharge between two auxiliary electrodes on the front plate could intensity the long gap discharge between counter electrodes. The reliability of simulation result could be confirmed by the experimental result in the test panel.
