Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an electronic switch for simulating a mechanical rocker switch having a determined current-interrupting capacity, the electronic switch being configured to supply power to an electronic device using an input voltage, and comprises a tact switch for the generation of a control signal, a bistable circuit whose output state depends on said control signal, a switching circuit adapted to the opening and to the closing of a power supply line supplying power to the device, which device consumes a current less than or equal to said determined interrupting capacity, a memory circuit comprising a reservoir capacitor, the tact switch being configured to control opening and closing of the switching circuit and the memory circuit being adapted to the storage of an 'open' or a 'closed' mechanical position of the electronic switch for a predetermined duration according to the reservoir capacitor.
