INTELLIGENT SWITCH FOR CONNECTING POWER TO A LOAD

摘要

A switching circuit which includes a microchip which, in response to a signal from a signal switch, controls the operation of a power switch which, when closed, connects a load to a battery. The microchip can monitor the status of the battery and control the power switch to ensure optimum operation of the load and optimum usage of the energy in the battery. The microchip can control the connection of the load to the battery, in different ways according to the manner of operation of the signal switch.
