Circuit Descriptions 9-1) Source Power Circuit This circuit shows SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply) which converts AC input voltage (230V, 50Hz) to a high DC voltage (about 320V). The input AC source power is converted to DC through a wave rectifier (BD1) and the converted DC power will generate a constant waveform on the switching transformer using a high speed (100KHz) switching motion of TOP223Y.
Circuit Descriptions 9-4) Door S/W Sensing Circuit 1 ) F-Room door open is picked up based on the state (5V/0V) of the MICOM No.43 Port. When the F-Room door opens, it becomes short between the Door S/W 1 &2.And,5V is supplied in the following order.
Circuit Descriptions 9-6) Key Scan and Display Circuit Power Freeze Freezer Temp. Ice Type Power Cool Fridge Temp. Child Lock 1) Key Scan and display operation. The model uses a decorder IC which 4 inputs and 9 outputs. If the IC 9 decorder (TC4028BP) receivesd signals from MICOM pins (3�6), an output signal per 2 miliseconds comes out from Q3, Q41, Q8, Q6, Q9, Q7, Q0, Q2, and Q4 pin in sequence.
Page 42
Circuit Descriptions The step signals of DC 11� 12V will be generated periodically. If a sink signal outputs from IC4, DC 11-12V will be applied to the LED input terminal and sink the LED output terminal to 0V. Therefore, LED will be ON for 2 miliseconds. 2) Key Scan The 6 step signals, Q6�Q4 are applied to scan the 6 keys (buttons).
Circuit Descriptions 9-7) Fan Motor (BLDC) Drive Circuit 1) Motor drive circuit 1-1) This refrigerator adopts a BLDC motor froeduce energy consumption, Motors of the freezer, refrigerator and the machine compartment are composed of the BLDC. For RS2533, R-fan is operated by AC 115V Motor. 1-2) Voltages between high-speed and low-speed Voltage of motor Remark...
