Abstract
An electronic scale includes a weight sensor, a control unit connected to the weight sensor and a detection circuit connected to the control unit and to the weight sensor, the detection circuit being distinct from the control unit. The detection circuit is configured to periodically control a voltage supply to the weight sensor, to detect an increase in weight above a predetermined threshold and to send a weight measurement initiation command to the control unit. The control unit is then configured to wake up from a standby state and implement a weight measurement by issuing a command to supply voltage to the weight sensor and by performing a processing of the voltage across the weight sensor.
