Hello,
I am working on a small project using a pic microcontroller that I want to have run for months at a time. I can put the pic to sleep to conserve power but I would also like to remove power to the peripherals I am adding (i2c eeprom, etc). What I want to do is use one of the pic output pins (high) to power up the devices when I need to use them. This seems like it should be pretty easy, can anybody point me to a simple circuit to do this or recommend a good way to do this.
thanks !
