  • Method and apparatus for powering a low power module from an external device
    Patent number: 11864118
    Abstract: An apparatus for powering a low power communication module via a debug interface is provided. By way of example, a wireless communication device includes a low power communication module, an inverting power supply coupled to the low power communication module, a comparator coupled to the inverting power supply, and an input buffer including a capacitor and a diode. The input buffer is coupled to the comparator and is configured to store energy from a transmission signal line of a debug interface of another device. The comparator is configured to enable the inverting power supply to supply power when an amount of energy stored reaches a minimum threshold and switch off the power supply if a power demand is not sustainable or runs the TX line above a predetermined minimum space voltage.
