Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a device comprising an energy storage device configured to provide first power having a first voltage level, a voltage regulator coupled to the energy storage device and configured to receive the first power and regulate the first power to generate regulated power having a set output regulated voltage level, and bias circuitry coupled to the voltage regulator and including an output branch to output a bias current, and a feedback branch to control the bias current, the feedback branch including a bias-boosting component configured to be in an active mode responsive to the first voltage level being below the set output regulated voltage level and to be in an inactive mode responsive to the first voltage level being at or above the set output regulated voltage level.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure include a controller having a mode of operation including one of an on mode and an off mode, the controller including a voltage rail node, a reference node, at least one powered component configured to generate a bandgap voltage signal based on a rail voltage at the voltage rail node, a switching device coupled in series between the reference node and the at least one powered component and configured to provide a conductive path through the at least one powered component from the voltage rail node to the reference node in response to the controller being in the on mode, and to interrupt the conductive path through the at least one powered component in response to the controller being in the off mode.

Abstract: A connector is provided for connecting a cable by insulation-piercing connecting devices when insert elements are pushed together. For connecting a shielded cable, the insert element are provided on a contact element made of conducting material, and the latter are inserted with contact into a shielded housing. The braided shield of the cable is connected with the housing. The insulation-piercing connecting devices are located in insulating bodies that are accommodated in chambers of the housing that are open to the outside. The housing is connected with the contact element by a screw that extends in the plugging direction and operates to make contact.

Abstract: A connector is provided for connecting a cable by insulation-piercing connecting devices when clips are pushed together. For connecting a shielded cable, the clips are provided on a contact element made of conducting material, and the latter are inserted with contact into a shielded housing.

Abstract: A connector for a shield cable has a braided shield connected by a ring provided at least on the circumference with conducting material. A shielding part of a base housing is provided with plug-in connections, and is adapted to receive wire ends forming contact with the plug-in connections. The ring is a slotted clamping ring which is pressed flexibly against a contact surface of the shielding part that matches its contour and against a recess in a housing part which together with the base housing forms a connector housing.
