Abstract
A circuit can include a supercapacitor switch including first and second terminals, that is configured to electrically couple the terminals to one another in a closed position and to electrically de-couple the terminals from one another in an open position responsive to a supercapacitor switch control signal. A first supercapacitor has a first terminal that is electrically coupled to the first terminal of the supercapacitor switch and has a second terminal that is electrically coupled to a reference voltage. A second supercapacitor has a first terminal that is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the supercapacitor switch and has a second terminal that is electrically coupled to the reference voltage.
