Learn to design and implement an auto power-off, latching power switch circuit for microcontrollers, compare it with deep sleep, and test with Arduino to save money on battery operated applications.
Outline hardware requirements for a power saver microcontroller—ESP, Arduino, or PIC—with a P-channel MOSFET, diodes for push buttons, 5-V supply, and resistors; use easyeda for circuit and PCB design.
Compare deep sleep mode and the auto power off circuit to optimize microcontroller power use; deep sleep reduces consumption while staying powered, while power off cuts power for battery applications.
Explore how an auto power off circuit starts a microcontroller via a push button or sensor, then uses a latch pin high and a final low to conserve power.
Explore how a latching power switch circuit uses a transistor and mosfet to power a microcontroller from a five-volt supply, with base, gate, and ground controlled by a push button.
