More Information
Summary:An electronic power apparatus includes a housing, a pair of input power pins, a pair of output power pins, power components arranged to modulate a supply of power from the input power pins to the output power pins, and a user-actuated input unit providing an analog signal indicative of a desired power output level of the output power pins. A control unit of the electronic power apparatus receives the analog signal from the user-actuated input unit. The control unit includes a controller to control a switching operation of the power components based on the analog signal, and an input detection unit to generate an ON/OFF signal to turn on the controller based detection of a prescribed change in the analog signal indicative of an initial actuation of the user-actuation unit.
