  • Patent number: 8519755
    Abstract: When the value of a power supply voltage (VDD) becomes a first threshold value or higher, a first start-up circuit (20) causes a band gap reference circuit (10) to start a stable operation and a first voltage value (VA) is output from the band gap reference circuit (10). When the value of the power supply voltage becomes a second threshold value or higher which is greater than the first threshold, a second start-up circuit (40) turns on a PMOS transistor (MP3) of a voltage dividing circuit (30), and a second voltage value (VB) output from the voltage dividing circuit (30) becomes a value, which is derived by dividing the value of the power supply voltage according to the resistance ratio of resistors (R31, R32). From a voltage comparison circuit (50), a reset level voltage value is output when the second voltage value (VB) is smaller than the first voltage value (VA), and a power-supply voltage level voltage value is output if the second voltage value (VB) becomes the first voltage value (VA) or higher.

  • Patent number: 8516846
    Abstract: An ice maker and a refrigerator having the same include an ice making container which is maintained at a temperature higher than a freezing point of water. Ace core rods having the temperature lower than the freezing point are inserted into the ice making container to cause water in the container to freeze. Accordingly, water at the periphery of the ice making container remains liquid which the water surrounding the ice core rods freezes. As a result, air bubbles generated when the ice is made can be discharged from the liquid portions of the water at the outer edges of the container. This results in ice without trapped air bubbles, which allows excellent transparent ice pieces to be formed. In some embodiments, the exterior surfaces of the ice making container are maintained at a temperature lower than the freezing point of water, and thawing rods maintained at the temperature higher than the freezing point of water are inserted into the center portions of the ice making container.
