Not sure if this forum is the best place for this post, just let me know if I should move it
I am making a PIC based device that uses +5V for PIC and +3.3V for some other circuits.
Power coming from two AA batteries converted to +5V and +3.3V using TPS60120 and TPS60140.
What I need is ON/OFF switch using one (on/off) or two (on and off) pushbuttons.
Slider on/off switch is not an option, I need pushbuttons
Something like:
- ON button brings power to PIC,
- PIC bypasses ON switch, seals it
- PIC will shut device down once OFF button held for 5 seconds or no activity for a 2 minutes.
It would be better if I can make it with one button.
Can TPS's enable input be used?
Any other ICs?
Battery gives only 1.8-2.6V and any voltage drop is costly.
