Hi

This is a simple RC delay, only issue here is i can't see how the cap will discharge after i has been charged. Using a resistor across the RC would work, but it would be a slow solution. Is there a way to make the capacitor discharge faster then using the resistor ?.

Thanks in advance guys

 

Using a diode.

 

Sure. Use a transistor switch

:s where would it be placed ???

The plan is to make it discharge when the power is removed

The plan is to make it discharge when the power is removed

Using a diode as 1N4148 in parallel with R and the negative connecting to V, the positive connecting to C.

When the power is removed then the C current will from C flows through R to V, that is the C discharge, the C current will also flows through Vc to the Load.

 

But that would be a short circuit

It's rather hard to make a circuit without having it be a circuit.

Sorry. I meant short circuit.
