MEMORY POWER CONTROL BY ENABLE CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240379146 titled 'MEMORY POWER CONTROL BY ENABLE CIRCUIT
The abstract describes a power control device with two switches that operate in different voltage domains. The control circuit turns on the first switch when the voltage level of the first signal decreases.
- The device includes a first switch and a second switch operating in different voltage domains.
- The first switch receives a first voltage signal, while the second switch receives a second voltage signal.
- The control circuit activates the first switch when the voltage level of the first signal decreases.
- The second switch is coupled to the first switch, allowing for coordinated power control.
- The innovation lies in the ability to manage power levels across different voltage domains effectively.
Potential Applications: - Power management systems in electronic devices - Energy-efficient appliances - Industrial automation systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient power control in devices with multiple voltage domains - Preventing voltage fluctuations that could damage electronic components
