Hello,
I have to make a pulse that will activate a second part of the circuit.
To reduce consomption when there is no pulse, I'd like to power the second part just when needed. First idea is to place on Timer output a switch on power line. A second idea would to power second part directly from timer output.
Indeed, I've no issue with a setup time on second part of the system and in use current is about 10-15mA.
Do you think I can get a version of 555 @TI that is able to source this value on output?
Of course, if the leaked current for internal use is very low, in idle mode it would be nice: don't loose here what I gain on the seconde part of circuit...
Regards
