Abstract
A power management circuit decreases power consumption in an electronic door lock. The power management circuit includes an ON/OFF circuit, a load switch circuit and a electronic door lock circuit. The ON/OFF circuit generates an initial enable signal in response to a detected keycard that places the load switch circuit in an enabled state. When enabled, the load switch circuit provides dc power to the electronic door lock circuit that allows the electronic door lock circuit to receive identification input from the detected keycard and determine whether an output should be generated to actuate the door lock mechanism. Having completed the keycard detection operation, the electronic door lock circuit generates a self turn-off signal that is provided as feedback to the ON/OFF circuit to disable the load switch circuit. When disabled, the load switch circuit prevents any power from being provided to the electronic door lock circuit and thereby conserves energy otherwise consumed by the electronic door lock in times between activations.
