Abstract (en)

A preregulator circuit is connected between the battery supply of a cellular phone and the input of an integrated circuit regulator to maintain the input of the integrated circuit at a voltage consistent with its rated voltage. To avoid the voltage drop in the preregulator when the battery is low, a shut off circuit is actuated to short circuit or minimize the voltage drop of the preregulator. <IMAGE>
