[ ${\pi}-conjugated$ ] organic and polymeric semiconductors are receiving considerable attention because of their suitability as an active layer for electronic devices. An organic inverter with a full swing and a high gain can be obtained through the good qualities of the transfer characteristics of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs); for example, a low leakage current, a threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) close to 0 V, and a low sub-threshold swing. One of the most critical problems with traditional organic inverters is the high operating voltage, which is often greater than 20 V. The high operating voltage may result in not only high power consumption but also device instabilities such as hysteresis and a shift of $V_{th}$ during operation. In this paper, low-voltage and little-hysteresis pentacene OTFTs and inverters in conjunction with PEALD $Al_{2}O_{3}\;and\;ZrO_{2}$ as the gate dielectrics are demonstrated and the relationships between the transfer characteristics of OTFT and the voltage transfer characteristics (VTCs) of inverter are investigated.

Increasing the switching frquency is essential to achieve the high density of switched mode power supplies, but this leads to the increase of switching losses. A number of new soft switching converters have been presented ot reduce switching losses, but most of them may have some demerits, such as the increase of voltage/current stresses and high conduction losses. To overcome these problems, the ZVT-PWM converter has recently been presented. in this paper, the operation characteristics of the ZVT-PWM boost converter is analyzed, and the steady-states (DC) and small-signal model of this converter are derived and analyzed, and then the transfer functions of this converter are derived. The transfer functions of ZVT-PWM boost converter are similar to those of the conventional PWM boost converter, but the transfer characteristics are affecsted by te duty ratio and the switching frequency.

In ac PDP(plasma Display Panel), the discharge characteristics is very important to display clear images. In this paper, we have studied the measurement of voltage transfer curves which show the discharge characteristics in AC PDP. The change of the effective wall capacitance during a discharge is also studied. These depend on lateral spreading of charge distribution and the strength of the discharge. As a parameter of the frequency, we observed the effects of the frequency in voltage transfer curves and in effective wall capacitance changes. As frequency increases, minimum sustain voltage and firing voltage decrease. In upper region of gap voltage the chance of the effective wall capacitance is independent of frequency.

In this paper, we found the improved SPICE heat transfer modeling of impulsed magnetizing fixture system and investigated temperature characteristics using the proposed model. As the detailed thermal characteristics of magnetizing fixture can be obtained, the efficient design of the impulsed magnetizing fixture which produce desired magnet will be possible using our heat transfer modeling. The knowledge of the temperature of the magnetizing fixture is very important of forecast the characteristics of the magnetizing fixture which produce desired magnet will be possible using our heat transfer modeling. The knowledge of the temperature of the magnetizing fixture is very important to forecast the characteristics of the magnetizing circuits under different conditions. The capacitor voltage was not raised above 810[V] to protect the magnetizing fixture from excessive heating. The purpose of this work is to compute the temperature increasing for different magnetizing conditions. The method uses multi-lumped model with equivalent thermal resistance and thermal capacitance. The reliable results are obtained by using iron core fixture (stator magnet of air cleaner DC motor) coupled to a low-voltage magnetizer(charging voltage : 1000[V], capacitor : 3825[$\mu$F]. The modeling and experimental results are in close aggrement.

The improved transfer functions of the modified Sheppard-Taylor (MS-T) converter, which is capable of regulating output voltage under a wide range of input voltage and load variations, negligible current ripple, and fewer components in comparison to the Sheppard-Taylor (S-T) converter, operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) are investigated in this study. Its DC equilibrium point, small signal model, and transfer functions are derived and analyzed. Then, the voltage controller is applied for this MS-T converter. The comparisons between the derived model and the existing model are presented. The hardware circuit is designed and the circuit experiments are provided for validation. The results show that the improved transfer functions of the MS-T converter are more effective and general than the previous ones for describing its real characteristics.

In this study, we studied the effects of transfer gate on the photocurrent characteristics of gate/body-tied (GBT) metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-type photodetector. The GBT MOSFET-type photodetector has high sensitivity owing to the amplifying characteristic of the photocurrent generated by light. The transfer gate controls the flow of photocurrent by controlling the barrier to holes, thereby varying the sensitivity of the photodetector. The presented GBT MOSFET-type photodetector using a built-in transfer gate was designed and fabricated via a 0.18-㎛ standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. Using a laser diode, the photocurrent was measured according to the wavelength of the incident light by adjusting the voltage of the transfer gate. Variable sensitivity of the presented GBT MOSFET-type photodetector was experimentally confirmed by adjusting the transfer gate voltage in the range of 405 nm to 980 nm.

In this paper, the development of a cost-effective active power filter/uninterruptible power supply (APF/UPS) system with seamless mode transfer is described. The proposed scheme employs a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) voltage-source inverter and has two operational modes. First, when the source voltage is normal, the system operates as an APF, which compensates for the harmonics and power factor while boosting the DC-link voltage to be ready for the disturbance, without an additional DC charging circuit. A simple algorithm to detect the load current harmonics is also proposed. Second, when the source voltage is out of the normal range (owing to sag, swell, or outage), it operates a UPS, which controls the output voltage constantly by discharging the DC-link capacitor. Furthermore, a seamless transfer method for the single-phase inverter between the APF mode and the UPS mode is also proposed, in which an IGBT switch with diodes is used as a static bypass switch. Dissimilar to a conventional SCR switch, the IGBT switch can implement a seamless mode transfer. During the UPS operation, when the source voltage returns to the normal range, the system operates as an APF. The proposed system has good transient and steady-state response characteristics. The APF, charging circuit, and UPS systems are implemented in one inverter system. Finally, the validity of the proposed scheme is investigated with simulated and experimental results for a prototype APF/UPS system rated at 3 kVA.

The automatic load transfer switch (ALTS) typically automatically transfers electrical loads from a normal electrical power source to an emergency electrical power source upon reduction or loss of normal power source voltage. It can also automatically re-transfer the load to the normal power source when the normal voltage has been restored within acceptable limits. The transfer operation of ALTS is accomplished by a spring-driven linkage mechanism. In this paper we build a dynamic model of driving mechanism for ALTS using ADAMS and checked the characteristics of the transfer operation. Finally we performed a detailed design of the driving mechanism through results of analysis and confirmed it to satisfy design requirements.

In this paper, we implement a non-time-varying transfer function of the duty ratio to improve the control characteristics in a control system that Input voltage and the output voltage is varied, DC / DC converters for bi-directional charging. When control is performed with using controller gain of conventional design, characteristics of the control is varied to fluctuations of the input voltage. The proposed method is the equivalently removing method for duty ratio in entire control block, by voltage controller gain is changed for inverse of the duty ratio. The proposed non-time-varying duty ratio transfer function is applied to DC / DC converter for bi-directional charging. In this paper, feasibility and superiority is verified through PSIM simulations and experiments.
