On the other hand, the video taken from the image capturing unit 320 for monitoring the environment disposed around the solar panel of the telemetry photovoltaic test system is received by the communication module 165, the data is in the test application processed and displayed on the touch panel 163 .

In addition, the received captured image may be image-processed in an image processing unit to perform an object recognition operation. will be.

The image capturing unit 320 of the telemetry photovoltaic power generation test system is disposed to monitor the environment disposed around the photovoltaic panel. That is, it is arranged to monitor objects (human, animal) approaching around the solar panel and the damage state of the solar panel.

The data server 330 serves to store the data processed by the reference board 1 or provide the processed data to the reference board 1 .

When the captured image of the image capturing unit 320 is a 360-degree captured image, the image processing unit of the reference board 1 image-processes the captured image of the image capturing unit 320 to generate an omnidirectional flat image.

The image processing unit may acquire an original image through the omnidirectional optical lens unit of the image capturing unit 320 and obtain a circular image by preferentially removing unnecessary image portions.

The circular image may be divided for partial image processing and partial distortion reduction to generate a flat image.

A unit of the divided circular image (a circular division unit image) may be divided in consideration of resolution, arc, pixel, image distortion, and the like.

A method of generating a flat image based on a circular division unit image will be described as follows.

First, the pixel structure of the circular division unit image may be grasped. It is possible to extract a reference focal pixel for the circular division unit image whose pixel structure is identified. The reference focal pixel may be a pixel that does not require expansion or contraction. The pixel structure may be divided into a pixel to be reduced and a pixel to be expanded based on a reference focal pixel.

Correction processing may be performed per pixel in order to eliminate partial distortion for generating a plane division unit image. For example, a reduction may be performed by determining a reduction area for an area extended based on a reference focal pixel, and an extension area may be determined for the reduced area and expansion may be performed through interpolation. A plane division unit image may be extracted through additional image processing in consideration of resolution, arc, pixel, image distortion, and the like. Through this method, a plurality of circular division unit images may be generated as a plurality of plane division unit images.

The communication module 165 of the reference board 1 transmits the omnidirectional flat image generated by the image processing unit to the data server 330 in real time, and receives object information transmitted from the data server 330 .

The data server 330 receives the omnidirectional plane image transmitted from the communication module, and performs an image processor for recognizing the object of the omnidirectional plane image in real time. The data server 330 feeds back the recognized object information to the image processing unit.

In this way, the data server 330 receiving the image transmitted from the image processing unit may perform an object recognition operation by itself. That is, the data server 330 feeds back the recognized object information to the image processing unit, and each object information includes an identification code pre-allocated for each object type and location information for each object's central region by time.

As described above, the object recognition process is performed by the data server 330, and the data server feeds back only the recognized result as object information to the image processing unit, thereby reducing the computational load of the image processing unit. In this case, the image processing unit transmits the captured image and transmits an image processing command to be processed to the data server 330 at the same time, and only the result value may be fed back.

For example, when an object called the license plate of a vehicle approaching the periphery of the solar panel of the telemetry photovoltaic test system is recognized, the identification code assigned in advance to the license plate and the location (coordinate) of the central area of the license plate location information for each hour is transmitted.

For reference, the identification code includes an object code and an additional code. The object code is a code assigned to the shape of a vehicle license plate, and the additional code is defined as encoding additional data information such as the number of the vehicle license plate.

Therefore, the image processing unit can receive the object information transmitted from the data server 330 without directly processing the image processing operation, and determine the recognized number of the vehicle license plate and its movement position. The data server 330 may simultaneously recognize a plurality of objects at the request of the image processing unit, and track their respective locations in real time.

In this way, the data server 330 feeds back the recognized object information to the image processing unit, and each object information includes an identification code pre-allocated for each object type and location information for each time of the central region of each object.

In addition, the data server 330 feeds back a portion of the captured image in which there is no change in the image, and the image processing unit automatically removes the portion in which the image does not change, thereby reducing its own storage capacity (reducing memory usage of the reference board 1). can do it

In addition, after dividing the image into a plurality of regions, the data server 330 may feed back information capable of changing the stored image frame for each region to the image processing unit in consideration of the movement speed of the object.

Meanwhile, the image processing unit may divide a preset photographing area into a plurality of sub-regions and independently preset a detection time, a detection object, and a detection event for each area. Therefore, after dividing the periphery of the solar panel of the telemetry photovoltaic power generation test system into sub-regions, it is possible to independently set object events to be monitored for each sub-region.

At this time, if the processing speed of the image processing unit is fast, the object recognition operation may be performed by itself and the result may be displayed on the touch panel, but basically, the image and object recognition command are transmitted to the data server 330, and the data server ( 330), it is preferable to feed back only the result to the image processing unit after performing the object recognition operation.

On the other hand, when a photovoltaic power generation control room is provided around the photovoltaic panel of the telemetry photovoltaic test system and the image capturing unit 320 is provided inside the photovoltaic power generation control room, the image processing unit is an image capturing unit 320 . It is possible to process the carbon dioxide concentration prediction mode based on the captured image.

That is, when the carbon dioxide concentration prediction mode is set in the reference board (1),

The image processing unit automatically detects the number of occupants and the internal area of the solar power generation control room from the image captured by the image capturing unit 320, and additionally considers the resident number and the internal area - estimating the amount of carbon dioxide accumulation - and delaying outputting a warning The time can be adjusted automatically. At this time, based on the object recognition of the resident staff, it is possible to classify the carbon dioxide emissions by classifying women, men, height, and physique.

This object recognition operation is performed in the data server 300 or the image processing unit. For reference, window opening recognition (window opening time) and door opening recognition (number and time of door opening) can be used as reference variables to estimate the amount of carbon dioxide accumulation and to adjust the delay time for outputting a warning. For reference, the delay time for outputting a warning means the time until carbon dioxide reaches a predetermined dangerous level in an enclosed space.

In addition, the Smart IT Reference Board pursues high integration, high performance and low power consumption, and as the integration increases, the internal operating power supply potential is decreasing. In order to determine whether the board or system operates normally or maintains normal data, a process of monitoring the internal power potential through a test and forcing to a desired power level is performed.

During the test, during the power-up sequence of the board or system, a reference voltage of a higher level than the originally applied reference voltage is applied, so that the internal voltage to be generated at a specific level has a value greater than or equal to a specific level, Accordingly, there may be a problem in that the operation reliability of the circuit is lost.

Therefore, the proposed reference board 1 includes a test reliability circuit unit 430 .

The test reliability circuit unit 430 generates the pumping voltage VPP after outputting the reference voltage VREF according to the change in the driving operation of the external driving voltage EXT_VDD. The generated pumping voltage VPP may be used as driving power of a memory module such as the memory 130 .

4 is a configuration diagram of the test reliability circuit unit 430 included in the smart IT reference board (1).

Referring to FIG. 4 , the test reliability circuit unit 430 includes a reference voltage transmitting unit 13 and a pumping voltage generating unit 15 .

The reference voltage transfer unit 13 outputs the received reference voltage VREF1 as the output reference voltage VREF_OUT in response to the test mode signal T_MODE and at least one external driving voltage EXT_VDD.

The pumping voltage generating unit 15 generates and outputs the pumping voltage VPP when the voltage level output from the reference voltage transmitting unit 13 is equal to or greater than a predetermined level. The pumping voltage VPP may be supplied to the memory 130 , the memory power supply unit 210 , and the like. Although not shown in the drawing, the pumping voltage generating unit 15 includes a level sensing unit generating an enable signal according to the output reference voltage VREF_OUT, an oscillator operating in response to the enable signal, and an output signal of the oscillator to include a pumping unit for performing a charge pumping operation.

5 is a circuit diagram of the reference voltage transfer unit 13 of the test reliability circuit unit 430 according to the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the reference voltage transfer unit 13 receives the first reference voltage VREF1 according to the operating power of the external driving voltage EXT_VDD1 and outputs the output reference voltage VREF_OUT, and the first buffer unit It includes a 122a, a second buffer unit 124a, and a transfer unit 126a.

The first buffer unit 122a compares the input level of the first reference voltage VREF1 with the external driving voltage EXT_VDD1, and compares the first reference voltage VREF1 output by the comparison with the second external driving voltage EXT_VDD2 ) output according to the operating power. In this case, the first buffer unit 122a may be designed as a differential amplifier designed with PMOS transistors T11 and T12 connected in a current mirror type.

The second buffer unit 124a compares the input level of the first reference voltage VREF1 with the third external driving voltage EXT_VDD3 and prevents the input first reference voltage VREF1 from being output by the comparison. In this case, the second buffer unit 124a may be designed as a differential amplifier designed with PMOS transistors T13 and T14 connected in a current mirror type.

When the level of the input test mode signal T_MODE is activated, the transfer unit 126a outputs the first reference voltage VREF1 as the output reference voltage VREF_OUT for forcing, and the input test mode signal ( When the level of T_MODE) is deactivated, the first reference voltage VREF1 is not output. The transmission unit 126a is preferably designed as a transmission gate M11.

Even if the first reference voltage VREF1 is applied before the external driving voltages EXT_VDD1, EXT_VDD2, and EXT_VDD3, the reference voltage transfer unit 13 according to the first embodiment of the present invention maintains the level of the test mode signal T_MODE. In response, the first reference voltage VREF1 is activated and, at the same time, outputted in response to the operating power of the external driving voltages EXT_VDD1, EXT_VDD2, and EXT_VDD3.

Accordingly, when the first reference voltage VREF1 is applied before the external driving voltages EXT_VDD1, EXT_VDD2, and EXT_VDD3 or when the power-up sequence is performed, the loading of the first reference voltage VREF1 causes the external driving voltages EXT_VDD1, EXT_VDD2, and EXT_VDD3 to be applied. Even if the loading is completed before loading, since the first reference voltage VREF1 is output according to the voltage operation of the external driving voltages EXT_VDD1, EXT_VDD2, and EXT_VDD3 through the reference voltage transfer unit 13, the pumping voltage VPP is It does not increase beyond the set value depending on the driving voltage EXT_VDD.

6 is a circuit diagram of the reference voltage transfer unit 13 of the test reliability circuit unit 430 according to the second embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the reference voltage transfer unit 13 according to the second embodiment outputs the first reference voltage VREF according to the operating power of the external driving voltages EXT_VDD11 and EXT_VDD12, and the first buffer unit ( 122b), a second buffer unit 124b, a first selector 128a, a second selector 128b, and a transfer unit 126b. At this time, the first buffer unit 122b, the second buffer unit 124b, and the transfer unit 126b are the first buffer unit 122a, the second buffer unit 124a, and the transfer unit 126a shown in FIG. 5 . As the same as , redundant description of each configuration will be omitted, and the first and second selection units 128a and 128b will be described.

The first selector 128a is conductive so that the first reference voltage VREF1 is output when the node N13 is at a low level. In this case, the first selector 128a uses the transmission gate M12. The second selector 128b does not conduct so that the first reference voltage VREF1 is not output when the node N16 has a high level.

Accordingly, the first reference voltage VREF1 is applied before the external driving voltages EXT_VDD11 and EXT_VDD12 or the loading of the first reference voltage VREF1 is completed before the loading of the external driving voltages EXT_VDD11 and EXT_VDD12 during the power-up sequence. Even when the first reference voltage VREF1 is output according to the voltage operation of the external driving voltages EXT_VDD11 and EXT_VDD12 through the reference voltage transfer unit 13 , the pumping voltage VPP is applied to the external driving voltage EXT_VDD. It does not increase more than the set value depending on it.

7 is a circuit diagram of the reference voltage transfer unit 13 of the test reliability circuit unit 430 according to the third embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the reference voltage transfer unit 13 according to the third embodiment includes a reference voltage buffer unit 127 and a voltage transfer unit 129 .

The reference voltage buffer unit 127 compares the levels of the internally generated reference driving voltage IN_VDD and the external driving voltage EXT_VDD, and only when the level of the reference driving voltage IN_VDD is high, the reference driving voltage IN_VDD ) and output the driving voltage to the voltage transfer unit 129 .

The voltage transfer unit 129 outputs the first reference voltage VREF1 as the output reference voltage VREF_OUT only when the reference driving voltage IN_VDD is at a high level to force it. Here, the voltage transfer unit 129 is preferably designed as an NMOS transistor T25.

Therefore, even if the first reference voltage VREF1 is applied before the external driving voltage EXT_VDD, the first reference voltage VREF is generated as a new output reference voltage VREF_OUT according to the operating power of the external driving voltage EXT_VDD. Because of the output, it is possible to prevent the pumping voltage VPP from increasing beyond a desired level.

On the other hand, in order to cope with high-function and high-speed operation of electronic device systems in recent years, semiconductor integrated circuits are becoming more complex and the operating speed of the circuits is also increasing. As circuits constituting semiconductor devices become more complex, parasitic capacitance, parasitic inductance, and parasitic resistance are increasing. Therefore, noise countermeasures for power supply voltage wiring to supply stable power voltage to internal circuits are emerging as an important issue. .

Therefore, the proposed smart IT reference board 1 includes a power noise processing unit 420 . The power source noise processing unit 420 is connected to the decoupling capacitor and serves to reduce resonance noise caused by the power while the resistance value is varied.

8 is a circuit diagram of the power noise processing unit 420 included in the smart IT reference board 1 .

Referring to FIG. 8, the power noise processing unit 420 is electrically connected to the internal circuit unit and the power supply voltage supply pad ( VDD Pad) and the ground voltage supply pad (VSS Pad), and a decoupling capacitor (Cde-cap) connected in parallel with the internal circuit part and connected to the power supply (VDD) line connecting the internal circuit part and the power supply voltage supply pad (VDD Pad). and a variable resistance part (R).

For reference, the internal circuit unit refers to both a peripheral device and a memory device, but in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the memory 130 for mobile is greatly affected by power noise.

Since the voltage value at the location where the internal circuit is located can be expressed as the product of the impedance value at the same location and the operating current consumed by the circuit, if the current consumed by the circuit is determined, eventually the voltage fluctuation is proportional to the size of the impedance value. and, as the parasitic resistance Rde-cap of the decoupling capacitor Cde-cap increases, the impedance value at resonance decreases.

This result is a phenomenon that occurs because the loss in resonance increases as the value of the parasitic resistance (Rde-cap) increases. Similar results can be obtained even when the value of the metal resistance (Rdie) is large, but when the value of the metal resistance (Rdie) increases, Since the voltage drop by DC current becomes large, it is unpreferable.

Therefore, in the present invention, by connecting the series variable resistor R to the decoupling capacitor Cde-cap, the impedance value at resonance is increased similarly to when the parasitic resistance Rde-cap of the decoupling capacitor Cde-cap increases. to limit the voltage drop due to resonance.

The variable resistor unit R connects the decoupling capacitor Cde-cap and the ground (VSS) line so that the level difference between the power supplied to the power voltage supply pad (VDD Pad) and the power input to the internal circuit unit is minimized. It is configured so that it can be used by changing the resistance value.

9 is a first embodiment of the attenuator 421 of the power noise processing unit 420 , and FIG. 10 is a second embodiment of the attenuator 421 of the power noise processing unit 420 .

Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10 , first of all, FIG. 9 is implemented with a plurality of resistance elements R1 to R4 each connected in series with a decoupling capacitor Cde-cap and having a fixed resistance value, through switching on/off The resistance value of the variable resistance unit R may be varied. In this case, it may be preferable to select a resistance element capable of minimizing a voltage drop by using each of the resistance elements R1 to R4 having different resistance values.

Next, FIG. 10 shows a plurality of NMOS transistors T1 to T4 connected to a decoupling capacitor Cde-cap, and an external variable resistance control logic 10 to gates of the plurality of NMOS transistors T1 to T3. It has a structure in which on/off control signals a1, a2, and a3 output from the are input to turn on/off each transistor according to the level of the on/off control signals a1, a2, a3.

At this time, when the levels of the on/off control signals a1, a2, and a3 are all low levels, the connection between the decoupling capacitor Cde-cap and the ground line is released. voltage was applied.

On the other hand, the resistance control unit 10 receives an on/off control signal a1, a2, a3 for turning on or off each of the transistors T1, T2, and T3 connected to the decoupling capacitor Cde-cap. As the output logic, it is enabled by the command signal (COMMAND) from the outside during the training process and outputs a combination of logic levels that each control signal (a1, a2, a3) can have, so that the combination with the least noise can be selected. and input the selected combination of control signals a1, a2, and a3 to the gates of the respective transistors T1, T2, and T3.

Therefore, when the metal resistance value is reduced through the power noise processing device 420 and a problem due to resonance becomes an issue, it is possible to attenuate power noise due to resonance, and accordingly, the driving power of the low-voltage, high-speed operation semiconductor memory is stably processed can do.

In addition, as another embodiment of the variable resistance unit, a switching variable resistance means having a switching operation and a function as a variable resistance element may be used. That is, the switching variable resistance means may include an output pulse generator that generates a variable amplitude output pulse according to a control signal, and a variable resistor that receives a variable amplitude output pulse and changes a switching operation and a resistance value.

Also, as another embodiment of the variable resistance unit, when a plurality of resistance segments are included in the variable resistance unit and a plurality of resistance value candidates that the variable resistance unit may have are arranged in an order of magnitude, the plurality of resistance value candidates have the same ratio It may be configured to form a geometric sequence. That is, the variable resistance unit is composed of a plurality of resistance segments and a plurality of switches connected to the plurality of resistance segments, and the plurality of switches are connected to the plurality of resistance segments by each bit of an N-bit control signal or a combination of each bit. A connection state is controlled, and a resistance value of the variable resistor unit may be determined according to an exponential function based on an N-bit control signal. Therefore, it is easy for the user to intuitively grasp the result of the resistance value change through the control code.
