Abstract
The interfacing of a controller having an output with components (e.g., a triac) that require more current to successfully drive than the amount of current that is drawn by the circuit or controller which is being driven. The extra current drawn may be efficiently used, rather than wasted, for other circuitry such as a power supply for the electronics of the controllers or other devices. Also, another source may automatically come into place to provide current for the power supply or other circuitry when the driving controller becomes inactive.
