A System IC for Controlling the Fire Prevention  

Kim, Byung-Cheul (진주산업대학교 전자공학과)
Abstract
In this study, we have developed one chip system IC for preventing the overload, detecting an abnormal conditions, and controlling the fire prevention in the intelligent home appliances. For the purpose, a circuit detectable an electric leak for preventing an electric shock, and a circuit detectable arc that has effect directly on the fire are designed. The circuits designed on every block are verified by comparing simulation with bread-boarding using a standard transistors. The system IC is fabricated by using 34 V 2 metal $1.5{\mu}m$ bipolar transistor process from evaluation results. The electrical performances of IC application circuits and the system IC equipped on PCB board are evaluated. It is confirmed that the system IC is well operated for arc and ground fault(GF) signal.
