Abstract:
A low powered system for providing sufficient current to a fuel control mechanism drive. The system may have a fuel control mechanism pick circuit that has an energy storage mechanism for providing a large amount of current for a short time to the fuel control mechanism drive. A safety switch may be enabled with a special signal to let current flow to the fuel control mechanism drive to operate a corresponding fuel control mechanism for controlling fuel to a pilot light or heating element. The pilot light or heating element may provide heat to a thermoelectric source that generates electrical power from the heat. The electrical power may go to a single DC-to-DC converter and voltage clamp for providing a voltage source to a microcontroller and other circuits of the system. The pick circuit may prevent a harmful reverse flow of current from the storage mechanism to the thermoelectric source.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein a first transistor and a second transistor are operatively coupled in series and between the thermoelectric device and the electrically controlled gas valve, wherein the first transistor includes an internal body diode with a cathode that is pointed toward the thermoelectric device and the second transistor includes an internal body diode with a cathode that is pointed toward the electrically controlled gas valve, wherein the second transistor is turned off when picking the electrically controlled gas valve to inhibit the valve pick current from flowing to the thermoelectric device.
