본 논문은 Daisy Chain 구조의 CVM(:Cell Voltage Monitoring) 시스템에서, 다양한 DC Level을 갖는 Master IC와 Slave IC 사이에 명령 Data 신호의 전달을 가능하게 해주는 DC Level Shifter 설계를 소개한다. 설계한 회로는 래치 구조가 적용되어 고속 동작이 가능하고, 출력단의 Transmission Gate를 통하여 다양한 DC Level이 출력되도록 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 및 측정 결과, 0V에서 30V까지의 DC Level 변화에 따른 제어 및 Data 신호의 전달을 확인하였다. Delay Time 오차는 약 170ns가 측정되었지만, 측정 Probe의 Capacitance 성분 및 측정 Board의 영향을 고려하면, 무시할 수 있을 정도의 오차로 간주된다. In this paper, a design of DC level shifter transmitting and receiving control and data signal which have various DC level through daisy chain interface between master IC and slave is introduced in the cell voltage monitoring (CVM). Circuit designed with a latch structure have a function to operate in high speed and for output of variable DC level through transmission gate. As a result of the simulation and the measurement, it was confirmed that control and data signal could be transferred according to the change of DC level from 0V to 30V. Delay time was measured about 170ns. but, it was considered as a negligible tolerance due to a parasitic capacitance of measuring probe and test board.

본 논문에서는 고속 동작과 저전력 동작을 요구하는 디지털 회로 시스템에 사용될 수 있는 Current-mode FIR Filter를 위한 OTA(:Operational Trans-conductance Amplifier) 회로를 제안한다. Current-mode 신호처리는 동작 주파수와 상관없이 일정한 전력을 유지하는 특징이 있기 때문에 고속 동작을 요구하는 디지털 회로 시스템의 저전력 동작에 매우 유용한 회로설계 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 0.35um CMOS 공정을 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과, Vdd=2V에서 전원 전압의 50%에 해당하는 약 1V의 Dynamic Range를 확보하였으며, 약 0~200uA 의 출력전류를 확인하였다. 설계한 OTA 회로의 전력은 약 21uW가 계산되었으며, Active Layout 면적은 71um×166um 사이즈로 집적화에 유리할 것으로 기대된다. In this paper, we suggest operational trans-conductance amplifier(OTA) for current-mode FIR filter that can be used in a digital circuit system requiring high operating frequency and low power consumption. The current-mode signal processing is one of the very innovative design method for a low power consumption system with high operating frequency because it shows a constant power regardless of frequency. From the simulation result using 0.35um CMOS process, when Vdd is 2V, it is confirmed that the proposed circuit showed the dynamic range of the about 1V, about 50% of supply voltage and output current swing of about 0~200uA. Also, the power consumption was evaluated with about 21uW and the active size for an integration was measured with 71um×166um.

Purpose: The effects of various concentrations of ascorbic acid on stem cell spheroids derived from intraoral areas are not known yet. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of ascorbic acid on the morphology and cellular viability of stem cell spheroids derived from the gingival tissues. Materials and Methods: Stem cells were plated onto silicon elastomer-based concave microwells and grown in the presence of ascorbic acid at concentrations ranging from 0.003% to 0.3%. The morphology of the cells was viewed under an inverted microscope at day 1, 2, 3 and 5. Qualitative live/dead assay and quantitative cellular viability using Cell Counting Kit-8 were performed on day 2 and day 5. Results: Gingiva-derived stem cells formed spheroids irrespective of ascorbic acid concentration in silicon elastomer-based concave microwells. Increase in the diameter of spheroid were seen with higher concentrations of ascorbic acid. Higher cellular viability was seen in higher concentrations of ascorbic acid. Conclusion: Within the experimental setting, the application of ascorbic acid on stem-cell spheroids produced an increase in the size and higher viability with higher dosage. It can be suggested ascorbic acid be applied with stem cell spheroids for tissue engineering purposes.
