This voltage Regulator, which regulates voltage in different way from the conventional regulator, is constructed by circular-plate core type stators and controllers (are similar to rotor of conventional). The principle of this Voltage Regulator is based on the rotating magnetic field theory including peculiar homopolar and heteropolar concept. Comparing with the conventional induction regulator, this regulator need not to have short windings and can cancel armature reaction. Moreover, it is able to decrease the machine noise and control the phase of it freely. And it's efficiency can become more than 95% which almost the same as that of transformer's. By increasing numbers of cores of the same size, the output power can be increased, the insulation can be decreased and high Voltage can directly be connected because applied voltage is distributed to each core. This Voltage Regulator can be also used as a current regulator, a starter a induction motor and a phase transformer etc.

정전압기는 VCO의 제어전압의 전원 잡음을 줄이기 위해 사용될 수 있다. 정 전압기의 최적 설계를 위해선 정전압기에 대한 정확한 해석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최근 발표된 논문의 정전압기 해석 과정에 MOSFET의 기생 커패시턴스 성분을 고려하지 않은 문제점을 보완하였다. 이 문제점을 이론적으로 분석하여 정확한 해석을 유도하였고, 회로 시뮬레이션과 측정을 통해 검증하였다. 정전압기는 $0.18{\mu}m$ 1P6M CMOS 공정으로 설계되었고, 칩 면적은 $1mm^2$ 이다.

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.

In this study, the pulse charger and voltage regulator are proposed that can reuse the waste lead acid battery. The first we develop the voltage regulator that can reuse the waste lead battery. And the pulse current is applied to the terminal of the waste lead acid battery. The voltage regulator is available principle of the pulse current which can reduce the sulfate to incipient material such as Pb and PbO2. Therefore the internal resistance of the lead acid battery is decreased, the performance of the lead acid battery is improved and the durability is prolonged. The second we develop the pulse charger using the voltage regulator. The pulse charger uses the switch mode of the forward convert method. The pulse charger maintain the constant voltage in state removing the lead acid battery and when it connected the pulse charger, it is converted the charge mode of the constant current immediately. It continues the rapid charge until the full state of the lead acid battery. After that the pulse charger is converted to the charge mode of constant voltage automatically, and then it continues the normal charge. The experiment results show that the effectiveness of the voltage regulator and pulse charger such as the good performance and the prolonged durability in lead acid battery of the small and large capacity.

This paper describes a step-down AC voltage regulator using an AC chopper and auxiliary transformer, which is a series connected to the main input. The detail design of the AC regulator, logic and PWM pattern of the AC chopper is described and the three-phase AC regulator using two single­phase AC choppers with a three transformer configuration is proposed for three-phase application. The proposed three-phase system has the advantages of lower system cost due to reduced switch number and gate driver circuit as well as advantages of decreased size and weight because it uses a series compensated scheme. The proposed AC regulator has many benefits such as fast voltage control, high efficiency and simple control logic. Experimental results indicate that it can be used as a step-down AC voltage regulator for power saving purposes very efficiently.

SCALDO(Supercapacitor Assisted LDO) 레귤레이터는 기존 LDO(Low Drop-out) 레귤레이터(이하 LDO)의 낮은 효율을 개선하기 위해 연구되고 있는 회로로서, 회로의 입력단과 LDO사이에 슈퍼커패시터를 부착하여 입력과 출력 전압의 차이에 의해 발생하는 불필요한 전력손실을 재사용함으로써 LDO의 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 하지만 SCALDO 레귤레이터는 현재 연구 중에 있는 회로로 몇 가지 개선되어야 할 사항들이 남아있다. 그 중 한 가지는 회로의 최초동작 시 LDO에 인가되는 과전압문제이다. 회로의 최초동작 시 슈퍼커패시터가 완전히 방전되어 있어 충전모드 시 입력과 슈퍼커패시터, LDO가 직렬로 연결되는 SCALDO 레귤레이터 특성 상 입력전압이 LDO에 짧은 시간동안 그대로 인가되는데, 입력전압이 출력전압보다 최소 2배 이상 크기 때문에 이는 LDO에 상당히 큰 부담이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 과전압 문제를 해소하기 위해 회로 동작 전 슈퍼커패시터를 충전시킬 수 있는 사전충전부가 포함된 새로운 SCALDO 레귤레이터를 제안하였으며, 실험을 통해 동작 초기 LDO에 인가되는 과전압이 상당부분 감소됨을 확인하였다.

The impact of gamma radiation on a commercial off the shelf microcontroller board has been investigated. Three different tests have been performed to ascertain the radiation tolerance of the device from a nuclear decommissioning deployment perspective. The first test analyses the effect of radiation on the output voltage of the on-board voltage regulator during irradiation. The second test evaluated the effect of gamma radiation on the voltage characteristics of analogue and digital inputs and outputs. The final test analyses the functionality of the microcontroller when using an external, shielded voltage regulator instead of the on-board voltage regulator. The results suggest that a series of latch-ups occurs in the microcontroller during irradiation, causing increased current drain which can damage the voltage regulator if it does not have short-circuit protection. The analogue to digital conversion functionality appears to be more sensitive to gamma radiation than digital and analogue output functionality. Using an external, shielded voltage regulator can prove beneficial when used for certain applications. The collected data suggests that detaching the voltage regulator can extend the lifespan of the platform up to approximately 350 Gy.

This paper presents a PQ control strategy for micro grid inverters with axial voltage regulators. The inverter works in the voltage-controlled mode and can help improve the terminal power quality. The inverter has two axial voltage regulators. The 1st regulator involves the output voltage amplitude and output impedance, while the 2nd regulator controls the output frequency. The inverter system is equivalent to a controllable voltage source with a controllable inner output impedance. The basic PQ control for micro grid inverters is easy to accomplish. The output active and reactive powers can be decoupled well by controlling the two axial voltages. The 1st axial voltage regulator controls the reactive power, while the 2nd regulator controls the active power. The paper analyses the axial voltage regulation mechanism, and evaluates the PQ decoupling effect mathematically. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated by simulation and experimental results.
