In an actual application, the end-user potential needs to power off the smart probe when the diagnosis is completed and save battery power. The TPS3422, SN74LVC1G74, and TPS259470 devices comprise a power on power off circuit. When the user pushes the button, the TPS3422 releases a pulse, this pulse is fed to a D-type flip-flop and drives the D-type flip-flop to high and the latch to a high level. The high level of the D-type flip-flop causes the TPS259470 to power on. The TPS3422 releases another pulse if user pushes the button again, then the pulse drives the D-type flip-flop to low level. The low level shuts down the TPS259470 and the smart probe powers off. The circuit repeats the previous steps if the user pushes the button again. During power on, the D-type flip-flop is cleared and reset, then the output of the D-type flip-flop is low level, so the circuit is in power off status. Figure 3-2 shows the scheme of power on or off.
