In this paper, a TVS diode which is commonly used as a ESD protector in wireless communication devices could cause antenna wireless sensitivity to decrease has been analyzed. When a smartphone doesn't have enough space to place many components, there would be its speaker near antenna area. In order to protect ESD coming through the speaker there also could be a TVS within antenna GND area. Digital audio signal which was sent to speaker and CDMA RF communication signal coupled from antenna was mixed by TVS. And this leakage current running through TVS resulted in decrease of antenna wireless sensitivity. The results of various experiments can be explained using circuit simulation. Following works will give us some insights that can reduce unwanted summation of digital and RF signal due to nonlinearity of ESD protectors.

This research presented the concept of employing the punch-through diode triggered SCRs (PTTSCR) for low voltage ESD applications such as transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices. In order to demonstrate the better electrical properties, various traditional ESD protection devices, including a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) and Zener diode, were simulated and analyzed by using the TCAD simulation software. The simulation result demonstrates that the novel PTTSCR device has better performance in responding to ESD properties, including DC dynamic resistance and capacitance, compared to SCR and Zener diode. Furthermore, the proposed PTTSCR device has a low reverse leakage current that is below $10^{-12}$ A, a low capacitance of $0.07fF/mm^2$, and low triggering voltage of 8.5 V at $5.6{\times}10^{-5}$ A. The typical properties couple with the holding voltage of 4.8 V, while the novel PTTSCR device is compatible for protecting the low voltage, high speed ESD protection applications. It proves to be good candidates as ultra-low capacitance TVS devices.

최근 저전력 소모와 얇은 두께, 무 수은, 다양한 색 표현력, 빠른 응답 속도 등의 다양한 장점을 가진 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 광원으로 이용하는 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) TV가 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 LCD TV의 화면을 균등한 휘도로 표현하기 위해 기존의 구동회로는 다 채널의 LED를 정전류로 제어하는 DC/DC 컨버터가 채널마다 각각 적용되었고, 이는 원가 상승 및 효율 저하의 원인이 되었다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 각 LED 채널에 적용되는 DC/DC 컨버터 없이 트랜스포머, 커패시터, 다이오드를 이용하여 모든 LED 채널의 정전류 제어가 가능한 저가격형 구동회로를 제안한다. 이는 전력변환 효율과 전력밀도를 획기적으로 개선할 수 있고 수동소자만을 사용하므로 높은 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로에 대한 이론적 해석과 실험을 통해 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증한다.

A single-stage current-balancing multi-channel light-emitting diode (LED) driver is proposed in this study. The conventional LED driver system consists of two cascaded power conversion stages, i.e., an isolation DC/DC converter and LED driver. LED driver is usually implemented with the same number of expensive boost converters as those of LED channels to tightly control the current through each LED channel. Therefore, its overall system size is not only bulky, but the cost is rather high. By contrast, the proposed LED driver system is composed of a single power stage with the DC/DC converter and LED driver merged. Although the current balancing circuit of the proposed LED driver requires only passive devices instead of expensive boost converters, all currents through multi-channel LEDs can be well balanced. Therefore, the proposed LED driver features a small system size, improved efficiency, and low cost. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, its operation and performance are verified on a prototype for a 46" LED TV.

New 42-volt automotive electrical systems can provide significant improvements in vehicle performance and fuel economy. It is crucial to provide protection against load dump and other overvoltage transients in 42-volt systems. While advanced active control techniques are generally considered capable of providing such protection, the use of passive transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices as a secondary or supplementary protection means can significantly improve design flexibility and reduce system costs. This paper examines the needs and options for passive TVS devices for 42-volt applications. The limitations of the commonly available automotive TVS devices, such as Zener diodes and metal oxide varistors (MOV), are analyzed and reviewed. A new TVS device concept, based on power MOSFET and thin-film polycrystalline silicon back-to-back diode technology, is proposed to provide a better control on the clamp voltage and meet the new 42-volt specification. Both experimental and modeling results are presented. Issues related to the temperature dependence and energy absorbing capability of the new TVS device are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the proposed TVS device provides a cost-effective solution for load dump protection in 42-volt systems.

In this paper, we propose an active tunable bandpass filter (BPF) for efficient spectrum sensing in the TV White Space (TVWS) band. By designing a narrow bandwidth, it is possible to improve the sensing probability. The basic circuit configuration involves switching the PIN diode compromising capacitor bank to change the capacitance of the LC resonant circuit. To cover the whole TVWS band effectively, we add a varactor diode, and the bandwidth is set to 25-MHz. We improve the insertion loss by using the active capacitance circuit. The tunable BPF in the TVWS band with a 20-MHz interval is designed to have 11 channels with a bandwidth of 25 MHz and a low insertion loss of 1.7-2.0 dB.

For better picture quality in LCD TVs, it is important to reach a steady emitting state within as short a time as possible in the initial stage after the TV is turned on. The initial characteristics of LCD TVs are mainly determined by the properties of the backlight. In the present study, the photometric and spectroscopic properties of a 55-inch Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) backlights were investigated. The measured properties include time dependence of the spectrum, luminance, and color coordinates. The results show that the change in the spectroscopic properties of the LED backlight is smaller than that of the CCFL backlight. This indicates that the initial picture quality of the LCD TV with the LED backlight is superior to that with the CCFL backlight. The origins of this difference were discussed in relation to the inherent characteristics of the two light sources.
