ABSTRACT:
A power supply circuit includes a battery power source connected by a switch to the input of a DC to DC converter. The output of the DC to DC converter is connected to a filter capacitor and a load. A crow-bar is connected to the input and the output of the DC to DC converter. The crow-bar shorts the output to ground to discharge the capacitor when the voltage at the input drops to a predetermined value.
