remote control microchip consumption
Hi friends,
I have a problem building PIC based remote control transmiter.
The problem is power supply of the MCU. I must use 12V battery to supply the transmiter, but for MCU I need 5V. I don't want to interrupt the power supply of the MCU by buttons, but in same time I want to reduce the power consumption, so I can't use simple voltage regulator to supply the MCU. Any ideas?
Thanks.
