  • Page 32: Explanation For Micom Circuit

    EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1. Circuit Descriptions 1-1. Power circuit LRSC269 **** The power circuit includes a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). It consists of a rectifier (BD1 and CE1) converting AC to DC, a switch (IC2) switching the DC voltage, a transformer, and a feedback circuit (IC3 and IC4). Caution : Since high voltage (160 Vdc) is maintained at the power terminal, wait at least 3 minutes after unplugging the appliance to allow the current to dissipate.
  • Page 33 EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1-2. Oscillation circuit The oscillation circuit generates a basic clock signal for synchronization and time calculation related to the transmission of data and calculations made by the MICOM (IC1). The oscillator (OSC1) must always be replaced with an exact rated part, because if this spec is changes, the time calculations of the MICOM will be affected and it might not work at all.
  • Page 34 EXPLANATION FOR MICOM CIRCUIT 1-4. Load driving circuit ✽ The fan operates at the regular speed even if the door of the refrigerator or freezer is opened. When the doors are closed, the fan reverts to its original speed. ✽ (A), (B), (C), and (D) of door switch for the freezer or refrigerator are connected to the door open sensing circuit in parallel toward both ends of the switch.
