Really clever "memory" circuit in air "freshener"

This unit can actually tell if the cartridge has been unplugged - even when it's not powered.

And the way it does it with discrete components is VERY clever.

Really clever "memory" circuit in air "freshener"

Comments

I don’t understand the point of having memory though?

I'm wondering if it's a low leakage capacitor or just evolved technology.

It's common to see self discharge of 0.01 CV on electrolytics. This equates to a time constant of 100 seconds if I'm not too "refreshed".

That's a surprisingly nice design for a useless product.

A very nice clever and low tech solution, I love it!

Frank

That'll be a treat to watch!

Very interesting circuit indeed. A 1-bit β€œshort term” NV RAM implementation.

Chris Jeter

Thanks Clive, it was interesting seeing how those things work
