Abstract
An electronic device including a power source providing a source voltage, a capacitor, a primary regulator circuit, an always-on load that is active during a low power mode, and a recycle control circuit. The primary regulator circuit receives the source voltage and has an output that maintains a charge on the capacitor during an active mode. The primary regulator circuit does not contribute to a charge on the capacitor during the low power mode. The recycle control circuit includes a select circuit and a select control circuit. The select circuit selects, based on a control signal, between the voltage of the capacitor and at least one supply voltage including or otherwise developed using the source voltage to provide power to the always-on load during the low power mode. The select control circuit provides the control signal to control power provided to the always-on load during the low power mode.
