About 2 years ago, there was discussion on this ng about an auto-off circuit
to disconnect a battery after a time. This led to the following ascii
schematic from Win Hill:
_|_
+9V -------+-----+--o o---+--- load
Vb | | | (<200k to gnd)
33k | Q2 |
| e pnp |
+-- b 2n3906 | Vb
| c 4403 | T = RC ln --- = k RC
3k3 | etc | Vth
C + | | |
,----||----------+--------' The k term vs. Vb and Vth,
| 100uF |
| .002CV d nmos Vb = 9V 6V
+----+-- g 2n7000 Vth ----- -----
R | _|_ s Q1 = 1.5V 1.792 1.386
680k /_\ D | = 2.0V 1.504 1.099
| | |
---+----+-----+----------------- gnd
Does anyone have any suggested improvements (because of new parts available,
more experience, change in the speed of light, etc)?
