#99342 - Simple, but current consuming Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Dear Prahlad,
a simple solution to force supply voltage of micro to reach ground potential whenever voltage at input of 3.3V regulator falls below about 5V is shown below: ![]() This circuit doesn't suffer from varying threshold levels and current gains of discretes, but consumes a relevant supply current. If you use the TXS2-relay from Mutsushita, then 12.3mA are flowing through the relay, which might be acceptable, when using a mains transformer supply. Kai |
