Abstract
A circuit for providing a minimum wake-up time, in which a monostable circuit generates the WAKE-UP signal for a time at least as long as a minimum time established by the monostable circuit. The circuit is structured to extend the WAKE-UP signal for a time necessary to equal the minimum time that is established by the monostable circuit and to disable the WAKE-UP signal at the end of the variation of the input signal of the device being controlled.
