Conclusion

This demonstration board promotes a full ST silicon kit for thermostat applications and

allows users to:

●

check the immunity of our solution

●

easily check the efficiency gains

●

adapt the hardware for dedicated compressors & PTCs.

The e-STARTER allows the designers of cold appliances to upgrade the efficiency class of

refrigerators or freezers with a very low cost solution. This solution allows the starter

standby losses to be decreased from typically 2.5 W to 380 mW or 40 mW, respectively for

230 V and 100 V applications. The high reliability and immunity of this circuit are ideally

suited to the severe requirements of a refrigerator or freezer application.
