Inline equations offer hysteresis Switch in PSPICE: 08/16/01 EDN Design Ideas / (added 1/05) Smooth-transition switches are convenient devices in many Spice-based
simulators. Their action can greatly ease the convergence process. Unfortunately, these devices lack inherent hysteresis, a helpful feature used to build UVLO (undervoltage-lockout) systems,
oscillators, and other systems. Intusoft's |

Key
reading circuit saves I/O pins: 02/06/03 EDN Design Ideas / (added 1/05) Some microcontroller applications usually use too many I/O pins to read keys or onboard
switches; in many cases, few pins remain available for other uses. Some alternative ways to read keys yield more free pins. First, consider some ways to effect key reading. Table 1 presents a
comparison of four methods with references to circuit configurations (figures 1, 2, 3, and 4).... |

Latching Power Switch uses momentary action pushbutton: 10/28/04 EDN Design Ideas / (added 11/05) Most inexpensive pushbutton switches, particularly pc-board-mounting and
membrane types, have momentary action. Latching types are often larger and relatively expensive, and they frequently are unavailable in the style you'd like to use. You can thus have a problem
if you need a small, inexpensive on/off switch for latching power to a load. |

Power keypad consumes only 100 nA: 01/24/02 EDN - Design Ideas / (Electronic circuit added 10/03) Often in the use of products with keypads, one or more keys
become "stuck" or are being pressed. For example, a cell phone in the bottom of a purse or in a hip pocket could have one or more of its keys inadvertently pressed and held down for a
considerable period. Depending on the circuit design and implementation of the keypad interface, this condition could cause excess current to flow,... . |
