  • 프로세서와 메모리 시스템 사이의 속도 차이를 완화하기 위하여 오늘날의 컴퓨터 시스템은 대부분 캐시 시스템을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 소비 전력 측면에서 캐시 메모리는 전체 시스템 측면에서 큰 비중을 차지한다. 본 논문에서는 캐시 시스템의 전력을 줄이는 방안 가운데 하나로 지역 버퍼와 주소 압축을 통한 저전력 캐시 설계 기법을 제안한다. 주소 압축을 위해 사용되는 부분태그 캐시는 전력 소모량을 최소화하기 위해서 전체 태그를 쓰기보다는 태그의 작은 부분을 사용함으로써 소비 전력을 줄이도록 하는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 여러 주소 압축 캐시 연구에서의 문제점들을 분석하여 그것을 보완할 수 있는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 지역성이 높은 내장형 응용프로그램의 특징을 활용한 것으로, 지역 버퍼와 지역 실패 버퍼를 활용한 새로운 형태의 캐시 주소 압축 기법이다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법은 전체적인 성능의 감소 없이 평균 18%의 에너지 감소를 보였다.

  • This paper presents a low noise CMOS regulator for a low power capacitive sensor interface in a $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS standard technology. Proposed LDO regulator circuit consist of a voltage reference block, an error amplifier and a new buffer between error amplifier and pass transistor for a good output stability. Conventional source follower buffer structure is simple, but has a narrow output swing and a low S/N ratio. In this paper, we use a 2-stage wide band OTA instead of source follower structure for a buffer. From SPICE simulation results, we got 0.8 % line regulation and 0.18 % load regulation.

  • Internet Data Centers (IDCs), which are essential facilities in the modern IT industry, typically have scores of MW of concentrated electric loads. The provision of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is necessary for the power feed system of IDCs owing to the need for stable power. Thus, conventional IDC AC power feed systems have three cascaded power conversion stages, (AC-DC), (DC-AC), and (AC-DC), resulting in a very low conversion efficiency. In comparison, DC power feed systems require only a single power conversion stage (AC-DC) to supply AC main power to DC server loads, resulting in comparatively high conversion efficiency and reliability [4-11]. This paper compares the efficiencies of a 220V AC power feed system with those of a 300V DC power feed system under equal load conditions, as established by the Mok-Dong IDC of Korea Telecom Co. Ltd. (KT). Experimental results show that the total operation efficiency of the 300V DC power feed system is approximately 15% higher than that of the 220V AC power feed system.

  • Researchers have made significant progress in recent years towards realizing effective structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizing wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs). These efforts have focused on improving the performance and robustness of such networks to achieve high quality data acquisition and distributed, in-network processing. One of the primary challenges still facing the use of smart sensors for long-term monitoring deployments is their limited power resources. Periodically accessing the sensor nodes to change batteries is not feasible or economical in many deployment cases. While energy harvesting techniques show promise for prolonging unattended network life, low power design and operation are still critically important. This research presents the WiSeMote: a new, fully integrated ultra-low power wireless smart sensor node and a flexible base station, both designed for long-term SHM deployments. The power consumption of the sensor nodes and base station has been minimized through careful hardware selection and the implementation of power-aware network software, without sacrificing flexibility and functionality.

  • 최근 다양한 환경에서 지능형 로봇의 안정된 이동방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 복합 바퀴-다리형 이동 로봇의 설계 방법을 제안하고, LRF(Laser Range Finder)센서를 이용한 복합 이동형 로봇의 저전력 보행 기반 장애물 회피 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 로봇의 자세 안정화와 소비에너지를 줄이기 위해 모터 전류값을 바탕으로 자세를 보정하여 저전력 보행 알고리즘을 구현하였고, 이를 기반으로 LRF센서를 이용한 장애물 회피 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 로봇의 각 다리에서 소비되는 전력을 고르게 분포시키게 자세를 보정하여 보행을 안정화시키고, 최단 경로로 장애물을 회피하여 이동함으로써 전체 소비 에너지를 감소시키며 보행 안정성을 향상하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법들은 실제 복합 이동 로봇의 보행 및 장애물 회피 실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였다.

  • In this paper a robust method is presented for the combined design of STATCOM and Power System Stabilizer (PSS) controllers in order to enhance the damping of the low frequency oscillations in power systems. The combined design problems among PSS and STATCOM internal ac and dc voltage controllers has been taken into consideration. The equations that describe the proposed system have been linearized and a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) has been designed for the PSS. Then, the Particle Swarm Optimization technique (PSO) which has a strong ability to find the most optimistic results is employed to search for the optimal STATCOM controller parameters. The proposed controllers are evaluated on a single machine infinite bus power system with the STATCOM installed in the midpoint of the transmission line. The results analysis reveals that the combined design has an excellent capability in damping a power system's low frequency oscillations, and that it greatly enhances the dynamic stability of power systems. Moreover, a system performance analysis under different operating conditions and some performance indices studies show the effectiveness of the combined design.

  • 본 논문은 동기회로에서 누설 전류를 줄이기 위해서 사용되는 파워 스위치 구조를 결합한 새로운 구조의 저전력 비동기 회로 설계 방법을 제안하고자 한다. Static 방식, Semi-static 방식과 같은 기존의 지연 무관방식의 비동기 방식과 비교해서 다소 속도의 손해는 있지만, 파워 스위치에 의해서 데이터가 없는 상태에서는 누설 전력을 줄일 수 있고, 전체 사이즈가 작아짐으로써 데이터가 입력되는 순간의 스위칭 전력도 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 따라서, 제안된 방법은 속도보다 저전력을 기본으로 하는 사물인터넷 시스템에서 요구되는 전전력 설계 방법이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 방식의 비동기 회로를 사용하여 $4{\times}4$곱셈기를 0.11um 공정으로 설계하고, 기존의 비동기 방식의 곱셈기와 스피드, 누설 전류, 스위칭 파워, 회로 크기 등을 비교하였다.

  • The power supply systems, which require low-voltage / high-current output has been changing from the conventional centralized power system to a distributed power system. The distributed power system consists of a bus converter and POL. The most important factor is the system stability in bus architecture design. The overlap between the output impedance of a bus converter input impedance of POL causes system instability and has been an actual problem. By increasing the bus capacitor, the system stability can be easily improved. However, due to limited space on the system board, the increasing of bus capacitors is impractical. An urgent solution of this issue is strongly desired. This paper presents the output impedance design for on-board distributed power system by means of three control schemes of a bus converter. The output impedance peak of the bus converter and the input impedance of the POL are analyzed and then conformed experimentally for stability criterion. Furthermore, the design process of each control schemes for system stability is proposed.
