Patent ID: 8417972

Claim:
A power supply control circuit used to control a power supply to supply power to a Micro Control Unit (MCU), comprising: a first transistor switch; a Resistor-Capacitor Circuit (RC circuit); a power switch control circuit; and an input signal control circuit; wherein when the power switch control circuit is grounded via the MCU, the RC circuit is discharged to ground and when the first transistor switch is switched on, such that the power supply supplies power to the MCU; when the MCU outputs a control signal to the input signal control circuit, the RC circuit is discharged to ground and the first transistor switch is switched on, such that the power supply supplies power to the MCU; and when the MCU stops outputting the control signal to the input signal control circuit, the RC circuit is charged and the first transistor switch is switched off, such that the power supply does not supply power to the MCU; wherein the input signal control circuit includes a first diode, a first resistor, a second transistor switch, a second diode, a second resistor; the anode of the first diode is connected to the MCU, the cathode of the first diode is connected to the base of the second transistor via the first resistor, the collector of the second transistor is connected to the RC circuit via the second resistor; the emitter of the second transistor is connected to ground; the cathode of the second diode is connected to the collector of the second transistor and the anode of the second diode is connected to the RC circuit; when the MCU sends control signal to the input signal control circuit, the second transistor switch is switched on; when the MCU stop sending control signal to the input final control circuit, the second transistor switch is switched off.
