Abstract:
A device comprises a processor, a memory for storing instruction code that is executable by the processor, and power supply circuitry. The power supply circuitry is in communication with the processor. The power supply circuitry comprises voltage regulator circuitry, a capacitor, a current limiter, and a switch. The voltage regulator circuitry comprises an input electrically coupled to a voltage source and an output configured to provide a regulated voltage output. The capacitor is configured to store energy derived from the voltage source. The capacitor comprises a first node electrically coupled with the output of the voltage regulator circuitry. The current limiter is in electrical communication with a second node of the capacitor and configured to limit inrush current through the capacitor during a start-up phase of the power supply circuitry. The switch circuit is in electrical communication with the second node of the capacitor. Capacitor current flows through the switch when the switch circuit is in an ON state, substantially bypassing the current limiter. The switch is transitioned to the ON state when a particular control signal is applied to the switch circuit. The switch circuit is configured to remain in the ON state when the particular control signal is no longer applied to the switch circuit.
