10-1) POWER

Power Circuit used

Vcc(DC 5V) MICOM POWER AND SENSORS

+12V(DC 12V) RELAY,PANEL POWER

1) When turned on,rectified AC voltage which is stepped down by secondary transformer flows
between ①and ③at AC 8V,goes through the diode D 1 0 1 and D 1 04 changing to DC,and
constant output of DC5V via Regulator.
This provides 5V to MICOM and other circuits.

2) When turned on,rectified AC voltage which is stepped down by secondary transformer flows
between ®Îand ®Ìat AC 1 5V,goes through the diode D 1 05 and D 1 08 changing to DC,and
constant output of DC 1 2V via Regulator.
Output DC 1 2V becomes the power source for the operation of the RELAY &DISPLAY.Y.

10-2) Oscillator circuit

The Oscillation Circuit for synchronism clock

generates the time calculation on the information
sent &received from the MICOM internal logic
elements and when specifications for Resonator
change,the timing system of MICOM changes
Terminal Oscillation Freq.

10-3)RESET CIRCUIT

RESET Circuit allows the whole program to go back

to the initial setting by initializing parts such as the
RAM in MICOM with the power supply into MICOM
or with an instant power failure.
Upon power supply, the reset terminal voltage
becomes "LOW" for several tens of ㎲ compared to
Vcc voltage(DC 5V) at MICOM, and it maintains
"HIGH"(Vcc Voltage) during normal operation.
But, when Vcc drops to 3.4~3.7V, the reset terminal
voltage becomes "LOW".

10-4) EEPROM DETECTION CIRCUIT

A semiconductor memory EEPROM stores data remembers previous settings regardless if the
power is off, which is indispensable especially in power fluctuating areas. Also, EEPROM can
set and use other options in principle.

OPERATION PRINCIPLES BY PARTS OF CIRCUIT
10-5) DOOR SWITCH DETECTON CIRCUIT

1) Detection Circuit using R134a

When a REF/FRE door is closed, DOOR S/W contact (1 -3) are closed. Then, PCB LINE current
flows through R703 & D70 1 to CN7 1 ,70 No 1 (AC) via PHOTO COUPLER(PC8 1 7), which
operates PC8 1 7 and generates 50 or 60Hz square waves at MICOM PORT #3 1.
MICOM picks up the square waves and notices Door opened.
If the REF/FRE doors are open, the DOOR S/W contact (1-3) are open. There is no current at
PC817. So, MICOM maintains DC5V and perceives R-Door as closed.

2) Detection Circuit using R600a

OPERATION PRINCIPLES BY PARTS OF CIRCUIT
1) If Freezer/R-Door is opened, the contact point of the door switch are closed and connected to
Ground. MICOM Input Voltage is “Low” Here, MICOM considers that the Door is opened and
turns on Lamp by applying “High” signals to MICOM #27(FRE) & #30(REF) of Load Relay
Control Circuit.
2) If Freezer/R-Door is closed, the contact point of the door switch becomes open and connected
to Ground. MICOM Input Voltage is applied with “High” Here, MICOM considers that the Door
is closed and turns off Lamp by applying “Low” signals to MICOM #27(FRE) & #30(REF) of
Load Relay Control Circuit.

10-6) TEMP SENSING CIRCUIT

1) Sensor uses a thermistor which has a temp coefficient of negative resistance and controls
resistance. When the heat goes up, the resistance goes down and vice versa. R30 1 , 02, 03,
04 and C301~C304 are parts for noise prevention and they are not related to temp sensing
characteristics.
2) Vf is the incoming voltage to MICOM for F-Sensor, Vf equals (Rth * Vcc)/ (R301+ Rth).
Where Rth is resistance of THERMISTOR corresponding to Temp. Please refer to the
Appendix Temp-to-Sensor Resistance/Voltage conversion table (Temp-to-MICOM Terminal
Voltage included) on A/S. (Next page)

FUNCTIONS & FEATURES
10-7) Display Driving Circuit

1) KEY SCAN
When GRID#3 patterns are output, these signals are supplied to the SW1(Quick Freeze)
via the 10ß⁄Panel PCB resistance.
At this time, when pressing the SW1, PEAK TO PEAK 5.1V or less will be applied to the
MICOM as the signals are getting decreased by R502(6.8ß⁄) and R501(12ß⁄). Then, the
MICOM considers that the GRID #6 wave patterns are input and changes the function
related to the SW1 button.
[Refer to the above diagram]
2) Explanation for Display Driving
As shown in the following each wave patterns, “HIGH” outputs are signaled out in a 6m
sec cycle for 2 m sec using Terminal 6 of MICOM NO #4 → 5 → 6 and these signals will
be transmitted to the output terminal via the input terminal of IC04(KID65783AP or
TD62783AP). Output wave patterns are always applied to the LED input terminal with
DC11~12 in a constant cycle. At this time, when sink signals are output at IC03,
DC11~12V is applied to the LED input terminal and the LED terminal becomes 0V. So, the
LED lights up for 2m sec. For example, to turn on the Quick Freeze LED, when the IC04
#16 becomes DC 11~12V, IC03 PIN #12 will be 0V turning on the Quick Freeze LED.

OPERATION PRINCIPLES OF PARTS AND CIRCUIT
10-8) Load Control Circuit

1) Main PCB processes most of the load control for electronic refrigerators.
2) Compressor, Freezer, defrost heater, and other functions are controlled with relays.
* RELAY RY74 and RY77 for the LAMP are used differently depend on different areas.
(Option for R600a, Applied together with Door Switch.)
3) For example, to operate compressor, MICOM #24 pin output (5V) signal goes into IC05 Pin #7. The
IC05 pin #7 is the same as the base of NPN TR. The pin #1 0 works as a collector of TR. So, if 5V
is supplied to pin #7 of IC05, the pin #1 0 will be turned on and connected to ground.
Then, the relay RY7 1 and coil connected to pin #1 0 of IC05 becomes low (OV) and +1 2V
(opposite side of coil) flows to the pin #1 0 of IC05 via coil and goes to ground. While current flows
to the coil, the magnetic power arise, it turns on the secondary contact point inside of RY7 1 , and
operates when the AC power is supplied to the both side of compressor When MICOM #24 Pin is
Low (0V), IC05 #7 Pin is Low which makes Power off and current of RY7 1 RELAY off. Secondary
contact is off due to magnetic field cut and makes the Compressor off.
4) All other loads work basically on same principle, defrost heater operates only on the condition that
the compressor is turned off like the circuit above, and connected like the equivalent circuit below.
