Abstract:
A media streaming device is provided that includes a media streaming module, a super capacitor and a protection module. The media streaming module provides the media stream. The super capacitor has a first terminal coupled to a power-supplying path and a second terminal coupled to a ground terminal. The protection module includes a current limiter and a disabling unit. The current limiter receives a power signal and performs current-limiting to generate a fixed-current power to charge the super capacitor and supply power to the media streaming module through the power-supplying path. The current limiter further detects a voltage of the first terminal of the super capacitor. The disabling unit disables the media streaming module when the voltage of the first terminal of the super capacitor is not higher than a voltage threshold value, and enables the media streaming module when the voltage is higher than the voltage threshold value.
