    摘要: A digital communication system user, via which a first logic signal and a second logic signal are transmitted, includes an activation circuit that includes encompassing a supply unit, a switching unit, a transmission unit, and a communication interface. The supply unit provides an internal supply voltage, the switching unit couples the supply unit to the transmission unit to supply the transmission unit with the internal supply voltage, and the transmission unit outputs a wake-up signal, which includes the first logic signal, to the communication interface in response to being supplied with the internal supply voltage by the supply unit, and subsequently continuously outputs the second logic signal to the communication interface until the switching unit separates the transmission unit from the supply unit by.

    摘要: A refrigerator includes: a main body having a storage chamber; a door for opening and closing the storage chamber; a thermoelectric module for cooling the storage chamber; an outside temperature sensor for detecting an outside temperature; a storage chamber temperature sensor for detecting the storage chamber temperature; and a control unit for applying a voltage within a range between the maximum voltage and the minimum voltage to the thermoelectric module. The control unit applies the set voltage, not the maximum voltage, to the thermoelectric module when the outside temperature is the uppermost outside temperature range among the plurality of outside temperature ranges and thus the temperature of the control is lowered and power consumption is reduced.

    摘要: A refrigerator may include a temperature sensor, a thermoelectric device module having a thermoelectric device, and at least one fan and configured to cool a storage compartment, and a controller that controls the output power of the thermoelectric device based on the temperature of the storage compartment, a set temperature, and the outside temperature. The output power of the thermoelectric device may be determined based on whether the temperature of the storage compartment is within a first temperature region including the set temperature, a second temperature region, or a third temperature region. In the first and second temperature regions, the thermoelectric device may operate at different output power and which gradually increases as the outside temperature increases. In the third temperature region, the thermoelectric device may operate at a third output power which exceeds the first output power and is greater than or equal to the second output power.

    摘要: A solid-state switch architecture for multi-mode operation of a thermoelectric device and a method of operating such a device are provided herein. The switch architecture includes one or more inputs operable to receive power from one or more power supplies. The switch architecture also includes multiple outputs operable to provide power to respective channels of the thermoelectric device. The switch architecture also includes multiple solid-state switches operable to connect the one or more inputs to the outputs and a controller operable to toggle the solid-state switches to provide multiple modes of operation of the thermoelectric device. In this way, the thermoelectric device can be operated in a more efficient way while decreasing the size and increasing the reliability of the switch architecture. Also, this may allow the use of standard and less expensive power supplies. This may result in a significant reduction in cost and an increase in reliability.
