Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a bus coupled to receive power from a source external to the system; a battery; core processing circuitry and radio frequency (RF) processing circuitry selectively coupled to each other via a switch, the switch operative to toggle between OPEN and CLOSED based on a signal level received on the bus; first power regulating circuitry electrically coupled to the bus, the core processing circuitry and the switch; second power regulating circuitry electrically coupled to the battery, the RF processing circuitry, and the switch; and control circuitry operative to selectively turn ON and OFF the first power regulating circuitry and the second power regulating circuitry based on a number of monitored conditions.
