Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for supplying a semiconductor circuit with electrical energy.
- Semiconductor circuits require an energy source that supplies the supply voltage required for operation. If semiconductor circuits are connected to a battery, there is the disadvantage that batteries have to be serviced and, if they are used in large numbers in devices, batteries cause high maintenance costs and logistical problems. An energy supply via an electrical line is often associated with high installation costs. In addition to batteries, solar cells and induction generators, as well as piezo elements, voltage sources for semiconductor circuits are known.
- thermoelectric generator as an energy source for a semiconductor circuit.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an improved device and an improved method for supplying a semiconductor circuit with electrical energy.
- the object for the method is achieved with the features of patent claim 9.
- the advantage of the invention essentially consists in the fact that the EMF of an electrochemical sensor connected as a substance-dependent fuel cell is used as a voltage generator for a semiconductor circuit.
- the absence of accumulators or batteries leads to a significant saving in space and weight.
- the energy generated by sensors is independent of light and temperature influences and there are no moving components that could be damaged.
- the voltage supplied to the semiconductor circuit can expediently be increased by connecting sensors in series.
- oxygen sensors are particularly advantageously suitable as energy sources which are exposed to the ambient atmosphere. Due to the atmospheric oxygen content of 21 vol.%, There is always enough gas available for the electrochemical conversion in the gas sensor.
- Preferred electrode pairs are gold-lead and gold-zinc.
- electrochemical sensors are suitable which are designed to detect analytes in liquids.
- analytes can be organic substances, for example hydrocarbons.
- the semiconductor circuit is particularly advantageous to design the semiconductor circuit as a relay with which the circuit of a consumer, for example an alarm transmitter, can be closed. If the relay circuit of one If the oxygen sensor is supplied with electrical energy, the relay can be activated, for example, if the oxygen content of the monitoring environment has dropped below a certain limit.
- the smallest, adjustable limit value is dimensioned such that the energy supplied by the oxygen sensor in the event of a warning is still sufficient to operate the alarm device.
- the gas sensor which generates the electrical energy in conjunction with a semiconductor circuit which is designed using low-consumption technology, ULP technology (ultra low power).
- ULP technology is understood to mean a power consumption of less than 10 Miiiiwatt in the idle state.
- Such semiconductor circuits can advantageously be used in temperature measuring systems, measuring and warning systems, as well as in high-frequency transmitting and receiving devices.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a first device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a second device according to the invention
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a first device 10 with a semiconductor circuit constructed in ULP technology in the form of an alarm and transmission unit 1, which is connected to a series circuit of individual oxygen sensors 2, 3, 4.
- the operating voltage emitted by the oxygen sensors 2, 3, 4 and applied to the supply lines 5, 6 serves as an energy supply for the alarm and transmission unit 1.
- the alarm and transmission unit 1 is designed such that when a predetermined oxygen concentration is reached via an antenna 7 an alarm message is sent in the form of a coded high-frequency signal.
- the second device 11 illustrated in FIG. 2 differs from the first device 10, FIG. 1, in that a harmful gas sensor 8 connected to the alarm and transmission unit 1 is designed to detect an analyte in the ppm range.
- the alarm and transmission unit 1 contains a threshold switch 9 which responds when the analyte concentration has exceeded a predetermined limit value. If the limit value is exceeded, an alarm message is passed on to the receiving device placed in the Eigur_2_nLcht_darge ⁇ -_ via the antenna 7.
- the second device 11 can be designed, for example, as a stationary or mobile gas measuring device or gas warning device.
- the series connection of the oxygen sensors 2, 3, 4 serves as the energy source for the alarm and transmission unit 1. The same components are provided with the same reference numbers in FIG. 1.
- the semiconductor circuit is designed as a relay 13 with a switch 14 for an alarm transmitter 15.
- the same components are provided with the same reference numbers in FIG. 1.
- the relay 13 is activated. This closes the switch 14 which supplies the alarm device 15 with energy.
