| Title: |
Method and Apparatus for Eficiently Powering Digital Electronic Nodes on a Single Conductor Current Line |
| Abstract: |
Direct current circuits always require a voltage source consisting of a
positive voltage and a ground. To power a plurality of a direct current
circuit nodes one must traditionally supply a power supply line and a
ground line to each circuit node. To simplify wiring, a single conductor
system of powering a plurality of circuit nodes is disclosed wherein each
circuit node has only two external connections and the circuit nodes are
coupled in series. Specifically, each individual circuit node has an
integrated circuit and a capacitor. A power circuit within the integrated
circuit then directs current from an input into the capacitor to create a
local power supply and shunts current from the input to an output when
not directing current into the capacitor.
