Abstract
In a method and apparatus for power removal from a control circuit of an application circuit where that application circuit, as a result of a triggering event, can create damaging noise in the control circuit, a power supply is provided for the control circuit. Power is supplied from the power supply to the control circuit until initiation of the triggering event. Upon initiation of the triggering event, power flow is stopped to the control circuit for a predetermined time delay sufficient so that after the triggering event has ceased, transient noises which may still be present after the triggering event do not harm the control circuit or produce incorrect operation. At the end of the time delay, power is reconnected to the control circuit. Preferably, the control circuit is a microcontroller connecting to an ignition circuit for firing a gas chamber in a gas powered fastener gun.
