Powerbank stand-by mode disabler. Many powerbanks will enter in stand-by mode when load current drops bellow a threshold level ranging from microamps up to about 50mA. Others will start hiccup its output voltage. A simple circuit with 2 transistors will prevent stand-by mode at the expense of only a few microamps.

Reaction time measuring. By pressing COUNTING tact switch a new test is started. The middle tact switch should be pressed as soon as GO red led turns on; waiting time is variable and cannot be predicted; digital voltmeter displays reaction time. (1mS per mV). Pressing RESET tact switch erases current reading for new test; supply +5V_USB



nº994
