Abstract
Abstract A power ON-OFF control circuit comprises a power stabilizing circuit for stabilizing power applied from a power source, a supply circuit for supplying a control signal, a detecting circuit for detecting whether the power from the power source is inputted, a switching circuit for disabling the control signal in response to the output of the detecting circuit and a control circuit for controlling ON-OFF states of the power source in response to the switching circuit, the control circuit being connected to the power stabilizing circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A power ON/OFF control circuit comprising: power supply means for providing an input voltage to an electronic apparatus; dividing means for producing two output voltages from said input voltage wherein one of said output voltages is a reference voltage and a second of said output voltages is a driving voltage; detection means for detecting the presence or absence of said reference voltage; stabilizing means for stabilizing said driving voltage and applying said stabilized driving voltage to a load; control means, operatively connected to said detecting means, for producing control signals in response to the presence or absence of an input voltage or the detection of said reference voltage by said detecting means; and switching means for turning said stabilizing means ON and OFF wherein said switching means is operatively connected to said control means and will turn OFF said stabilizing means when said control signals indicate an absence of said reference voltage or an absence of said input voltage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A power ON/OFF control circuit comprising: power supply means for providing an input voltage to an electronic apparatus; dividing means for producing two output voltages from said input voltage wherein one of said output voltages is a reference voltage and a second of said output voltages is a driving voltage; detection means for detecting the presence or absence of said reference voltage; stabilizing means for stabilizing said driving voltage and applying said stabilized driving voltage to a load; control means, operatively connected to said detecting means, for producing control signals in response to the presence or absence of an input voltage or the detection of said reference voltage by said detecting means; and switching means for turning said stabilizing means ON and OFF wherein said switching means is operatively connected to said control means and will turn OFF said stabilizing means when said control signals indicate an absence of said reference voltage or an absence of said input voltage.
