본 논문은 다중전원공급 SoC(System-on-Chip)에 사용될 저전력 단일전원 level-up/down shifter를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 다양한 전원을 사용하는 IP간의 신호의 인터페이스 회로로 사용할 수 있으며, 단일전원을 사용함으로써 저전력으로 동작하고 시스템의 전원배선과 레이아웃의 복잡도 및 지연시간이 감소하는 장점을 가지고 있다. 제안된 level-up/down shifter는 각각 IP간에 신호들이 level-up 일 때는 500MHz 입력 주파수에서 동작하고 level-down일 때는 1GHz에서 동작하도록 설계했다. I/O 회로에 level-up/down shifter를 사용하면 시스템간의 신호를 연결할 때 잡음에 강하다는 사실도 검증했다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 0.18um CMOS 공정에서 각각 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V의 전원을 사용하여 검증했다.

다중출력 LDO 레귤레이터는 다양한 공급 전압이 필요한 임베디드 시스템에서 변환 효율을 개선할 수 있는 방안이 된다. 다중 출력을 위한 시분할 구조에서 LDO의 피드백 인자가 작아지면 정착시간이 길어져서 리플 전압이 커진다. 제안하는 토폴로지에서는 기준 전압을 가변하여 일정한 피드백 인자를 구현함으로써 정착시간과 리플 특성을 개선한다. $0.35{\mu}m$ 표준 CMOS 공정으로 설계한 4 채널 프로토타입의 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 구조는 피드백 인자가 0.4 이하인 기존 회로보다 정착시간과 리플 특성이 2배 이상 개선되는 것을 입증하였다.

In this paper, a 20W class multi-output QR flyback converter for auxiliary power supply was designed to stabilize 4 output voltages, and the efficiency and load characteristics were compared and analyzed. It was checked if each output affects other output characteristics through experiment. As a result, the experimental circuit reached a high efficiency of 82.5% or more at a load power of over 20W, and the maximum power loss was 2.6W. Consequently, it was confirmed that all of 4 output voltages of the multi-output QR flyback converter constructed in this paper were stabilized within 0.5% in full-load range, and each output was independently controlled in an electrically isolated state.

This paper presents a fine-grain supply-voltage-control scheme for low-power FPGAs. The proposed supply-voltage-control scheme detects the critical path in real time with small overheads by exploiting features of asynchronous architectures. In an FPGA based on the proposed supply-voltage-control scheme, logic blocks on the sub-critical path are autonomously switched to a lower supply voltage to reduce the power consumption without system performance degradation. Moreover, in order to reduce the overheads of level shifters used at the power domain interface, a look-up-table without level shifters is employed. Because of the small overheads of the proposed supply-voltage-control scheme and the power domain interface, the granularity size of the power domain in the proposed FPGA is as fine as a single four-input logic block. The proposed FPGA is fabricated using the e-Shuttle 65 nm CMOS process. Correct operation of the proposed FPGA on the test chip is confirmed.

Multiple output converters can be utilized when various output voltages are required in applications. Recently, one of the multiple output converters called fly-buck has been proposed, and has attracted attention due to the advantage that multiple output can be easily obtained with a simple structure. When constant on-time (COT) control is applied, the output ripple voltage must be treated carefully for control stability and voltage regulation characteristics in consideration of the inherent energy transfer characteristics of the fly-buck converter. This study analyzes the operation principle of the fly-buck converter with a ripple generation network and presents the design guideline for the improved output voltage regulation. Validity of the analysis and design guideline is verified using a 5 W prototype of the COT controlled fly-buck converter with a ripple generation network for telecommunication auxiliary power supply.

This paper focuses on voltage control schemes for multi-terminal low-voltage direct current (LVDC) distribution systems. In a multi-terminal LVDC distribution system, there can be multiple AC/DC converters that connect the LVDC distribution system to the AC grids. This configuration can provide enhanced reliability, grid-supporting functionality, and higher efficiency. The main applications of multi-terminal LVDC distribution systems include flexible power exchange between multiple power grids and integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) using DC voltages such as photovoltaics (PVs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs). In multi-terminal LVDC distribution systems, voltage regulation is one of the most important issues for maintaining the electric power balance between demand and supply and providing high power quality to end customers. This paper focuses on a voltage control method for multi-terminal LVDC distribution system that can efficiently coordinate multiple control units, such as AC/DC converters, PVs and BESSs. In this paper, a control hierarchy is defined for undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) problems in LVDC distribution systems based on the control priority between the control units. This paper also proposes methods to determine accurate control commands for AC/DC converters and DERs. By using the proposed method, we can effectively maintain the line voltages in multi-terminal LVDC distribution systems in the normal range. The performance of the proposed voltage control method is evaluated by case studies.

본 연구에서는 상위 수준 합성에서 시간 제약과 하드웨어 제약을 동시에 고려하여 에너지 소모를 최소로 줄이는 다중 전압스케줄링 방법을 개발하였다. 기존의 다중 전압 스케줄링에서는 임계 경로에 있는 연산에 대해 높은 전압을 할당하고, 임계 경로에 있지 않은 연산에 대해서는 낮은 전압을 할당하는 방법을 주로 사용하였다. 우리는 다중 전압 리스트 스케줄링을 기반으로 simulated annealing기법을 적용하여 임계 경로상의 연산인지와 관계없이 자유롭게 여러 전압을 할당하여 최적화함으로서 저전력 스케줄링 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 계산 시간 제한에 여유가 있을 때에는 전반적으로 낮은 전압을 사용하여 에너지 소모를 더욱 낮출 수 있다. 그리고 후처리 과정을 통해 추가의 에너지 감소를 얻을 수 있었다. 경우에 따라, 전압 level shifter 수를 줄일 필요가 있으므로 비용 함수에 가중치를 줄 수 있도록 하였다. 예를 들어, level shifter 에너지 소모에 6배의 가중치를 주면, 전압 level shifter 수는 약 24%, shifter 에너지 소모는 약 20% 정도 감소한다. 이를 이용하여 전체 에너지 소모와 level shifter 사용횟수의 tradeoff가 가능하다.

A current subtraction technique with parallel operation system is proposed to remove excessive current in touch screen application. The proposed current subtraction remove the current which go into the input node of charge amplifier. The value of subtraction current is same with current when touch screen is not touched. As a result, charge amplifier output is only proportional to variation of mutual capacitor, which make dynamic rage is increased. Also, Transmitter (Tx) driving signal and subtraction driving signal are out of phase each other. Thus, noise generated in Tx is cancelled. The proposed IC is implemented in a mixed-mode 0.18-um CMOS process. Overall system is designed for touch screen panel (TSP) with 16 driving lines and 8 sensing lines. 5-V supply voltages are used in the proposed circuits. For multiple Tx driving signal, Walsh codes are used and signal frequency is 300 khz. By using proposed technique, dynamic rage is improved 36 dB.

The growing application and the numerous qualities of induction motors (1M) in industrial processes that require high security and reliability levels has led to the development of multiple methods for early fault detection. However, various faults can occur, such as stator short-circuits and rotor failures. Traditionally the diagnosis machine is done through a sinusoidal power supply, in the present paper we study experimentally the effects of the rotor failures, such as broken rotor bars in function of the ac supplying, the load and show the impact of the converter from diagnosis of the machine. The technique diagnosis used is based on the spectral analysis of stator currents or stator voltages respectively according to the types of induction motor ac supplying. So, four different ac supplying are considered: ${\odot}$ the IM is directly by the balanced three-phase network voltage source, ${\odot}$ the IM is fed by a sinusoidal current source given the controlled by hysteresis, ${\odot}$ the IM is fed (in open loop) by a scalar control imposing through ratio V/f=constant, ${\odot}$ the IM is controlled through a vector control using space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique inverter with an outer speed loop.
