Abstract
A self-recharging electronic device is provided, including a charge integrated circuit (IC), a controller, a light coupler, and a signal converter. The charger IC is coupled to an inner power supply to charge or discharge the inner power supply. The controller is coupled to the charger IC and is configured to output a control signal to a heat dissipation device. The light coupler is configured to generate a first signal through a light source and the heat dissipation device. The signal converter is configured to generate an output voltage corresponding to the period of the first signal, wherein the charger IC uses the output voltage to charge the inner power supply.
