Block diagram:

The internal microwave frequency in the magnetron is typically


around 2.45 GHz and microwaves are almost had in any washing
machines, other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth which
operate in the same frequency much have the capability to do
frequency hopping in case of interference. Along with the traditional
5V analog and logic commodity devices used in this end equipment.
The microwave oven system block diagram is shown in Figure 1.
The AC power line voltage is converted down and regulated to 12V
and 5V in the power supply module. 12 V driving circuits the power
stage high currents are drawn from AC power line input directly
control all power relay switches. The 5V supply is the main supply
for the whole system including MCU, I/O, display and rotary encoder.
However, the buzzer circuit is driven by 12V.
The MC9S08PT60 MCU is used for all signal detections on user
interface, power stage controls with sequential order and system
protection in fault conditions. In normal operation, an event
triggered by the end-user through input keys or rotary encoder is
decoded in MCU and the corresponding message or system status.
The control scheme for power stages must be able to turn on or off
high-power devices with limited voltage stress on the power line.
The status of the oven door, open or close is monitored periodically
as one of the error signals for system protection. A mechanical
switch is used as a reliable method to cut off the ground connection
for grill and microwave power stages when the oven door is open.
Different sound pattern generated from the buzzer are used as alert
signals when fault conditions are detected.
