CIRCUIT WITH A LOW-POWER CHARGE-SHARING LIGHT-SLEEP MODE
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240428831 titled 'CIRCUIT WITH A LOW-POWER CHARGE-SHARING LIGHT-SLEEP MODE
Original Abstract Submitted
a circuit is provided with a selectively diode-connected head switch transistor. during a light-sleep mode, the head switch transistor is diode connected so that a power supply voltage passing through the diode-connected head switch transistor is reduced by a transistor threshold voltage drop. during an active mode, the diode connection is opened so that the head switch transistor passes a power supply voltage with virtually no voltage drop.
