Abstract:
An apparatus for turning power to a device on and off, comprising:a first signal input;a second signal input;a first charge output electrically connected with said first signal input;a transistor circuit electrically connected with said second signal input; anda second charge output electrically connected with said transistor circuit;wherein said first charge output, in response to said first signal input being powered on, electrically ramps up a voltage level of a first portion of said device, and a voltage level of a second portion of said device pulls electrically high when said first charge output is powered on to electrically ramp up said voltage level of said first portion; andwherein said second charge output, in response to said second signal input being powered on, causes said transistor circuit to electrically ramp up said voltage level of said second portion, said voltage level of said second portion being pulled to electrically ramp up said voltage level of said second portion concurrently with said voltage level of said first portion although said first portion is diverting a portion of said power from said second portion.
