Generally, when the lips of the user touch the mouthpiece 122 of the electronic cigarette or the conventional cigarette, there is a time difference of several tens of milliseconds from the time when the user finally smokes the cigarette, and this time difference is fully utilized to change the electronic cigarette from the shipping mode to the normal operation mode, i.e. to exit the shipping mode. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the lips of the user contact the suction nozzle 122, the capacitance detection unit 2220 detects that the total capacitance increases, for example, through frequency, charge/discharge cycle, etc., at this time, the capacitance detection unit 2220 sends a shipping exit signal to the battery protection module 2100, so that the battery protection module 2100 exits the shipping mode, the battery protection module 2100 controls the first switch unit 2300 to be turned on and off, the battery 2400 supplies power to the system circuit 131 through the first switch unit 2300, the airflow sensor 133 is supplied power, the battery protection module 2100, the system circuit 131, and the airflow sensor 133 are in the normal operation mode, the time from when the lips of the user contact the suction nozzle 122 to when the battery protection module 2100, the system circuit 131, and the airflow sensor 133 are in the normal operation mode is generally at the millisecond level, the user cannot feel the smoke completely, when the user inhales the smoke, the airflow sensor 133 detects that the smoke airflow causes the change of the electrical signal, for example, the system circuit 131 detects the change of the electrical signal, and then controls the operation of the atomizer 132, and controls the power of the atomizer 132 according to the change of the electrical signal, so as to control the smoke output.
When the lips of the user leave the mouthpiece 122 or when the electronic cigarette exits the shipping mode for a first predetermined time, for example, 2-30 seconds, for example, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, 30 seconds, etc., the battery protection module 2100 enters the shipping mode again, and the first switch unit 2300 is turned off, so that the battery 2400 no longer supplies power to the system circuit 131, and the system circuit 131, the airflow sensor 133, and the atomizer 132 are in the 0 power consumption mode.

Fifth embodiment
Referring to fig. 19, fig. 19 is a circuit block diagram of an electronic device according to a fifth embodiment of the present application, which is similar to the fourth embodiment, so that the undescribed portion of the present embodiment can refer to the fourth embodiment.
Referring to fig. 19 and 20 in combination, in the present embodiment, the battery protection module 2100 further includes a first ship exit QC1, the first ship exit QC1 is electrically connected to a second ship exit QC2, and the first ship exit QC1 is used to exit the battery protection module 2100 from the ship mode, for example, the first ship exit QC1 is electrically connected to the sleep logic subunit 2130, as described above. The battery protection module 2100 further includes a second timing unit 2160, an input of the second timing unit 2160 being electrically connected to the first shipping exit QC1, the second timing unit 2160 being used to put the battery protection module 2100 into shipping mode, e.g., an output of the second timing unit 2160 being electrically connected to the sleep logic subunit 2130.
In this embodiment, when the lips contact the suction nozzle 122, the capacitance detection unit 2220 detects a change, such as an increase, the capacitance detection unit 2220 outputs a shipping exit signal to the second shipping exit QC2, where the shipping exit signal is a low level signal, for example, the second shipping exit QC2 outputs a shipping exit signal to the first shipping exit QC1, and the first shipping exit QC1 controls the battery protection module 2100 to exit the shipping mode, such as pulling down the system VM or controlling the first switch unit 2300 to conduct, or by other means; also, while the first ship exit QC1 controls the battery protection module 2100 to exit the ship mode (when the second timing unit 2160 consumes power while in the ship mode) or shortly thereafter (when the battery protection module 2100 does not consume power while in the ship mode and the battery protection module 2100 exits the ship mode), the second timing unit 2160 also receives the ship exit signal or the signal that the second timing unit 2160 is turned on, the second timing unit 2160 performs reset timing, when the second timing unit 2160 times to the second preset time, the second timing unit 2160 outputs the ship entry signal, and the battery protection module 2100 enters the ship mode. The second preset time may be equal to or different from the first preset time, and the second preset time ranges from 2 seconds to 30 seconds, for example, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, 30 seconds, and the like. In this embodiment, when the lips leave the suction nozzle 122, the capacitance detecting unit 2220 detects the change, for example, decrease of the total capacitance, at this time, the capacitance detecting unit 2220 outputs another signal, for example, a high level signal, and at this time, the second timing unit 2160 and the battery protection module 2100 do not operate; when the lips contact the suction nozzle 122 again, the capacitive sensing unit 2220 generates a shipping exit signal, …, looping accordingly.
In this embodiment, when the shipping mode is that the first switch unit 2300 is turned off or the first switch unit 2300 is turned off and the battery protection module 2100 does not consume power, the second timer unit 2160 can continue to consume power, so that the second timer unit 2160 can receive the shipping exit signal, and then the second timer unit 2160 performs the reset timing. However, if the shipping mode is that the first switch unit 2300 is turned off and all the units of the battery protection module 2100 do not consume power, the second timing unit 2160 does not consume power, that is, the battery protection module 2100 does not start the reset timing of the second timing unit 2160 after receiving the shipping exit signal, at this time, the second timing unit 2160 needs to wait for a delay time, which is the time from when the battery protection module 2100 receives the shipping exit signal to when the battery protection module exits from the shipping mode (the second timing unit 2160 is powered on), the delay time is generally in the order of microseconds, for example, 10 microseconds, 20 microseconds, 30 microseconds, 40 microseconds, 50 microseconds, and the like, and since the delay time is different from the second preset time, the delay time is generally negligible in the order of magnitude relative to the second preset time; when the battery protection module 2100 exits the shipping mode, the second timing unit 2160 starts reset timing, and when the second preset time is reached, the second timing unit 2160 generates a shipping exit signal, so that the battery protection module 2100 enters the shipping mode.
Sixth embodiment
Referring to fig. 21, fig. 21 is a circuit block diagram of an electronic device according to a sixth embodiment of the present application, and this embodiment is similar to the first to fifth embodiments, so that the parts not described in this embodiment can refer to the previous embodiments, and the main difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiments is that the battery protection circuit 2000 further includes a first resistor R1 and a third switch unit 2900.
In this embodiment, the second shipping entrance QR2 of the capacitance detection module 2200 is electrically connected to the first power supply end VDD1 through the first resistor R1, the second resistor R2 has the same resistance as the first resistor R1, and the second shipping entrance QR2 is in a high impedance state in a normal state. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the battery protection circuit 2000 further includes a third switching unit 2900, and the input terminal of the third switching unit 2900 is connected to the first level, where the first level is 0, that is, the ground, but the first level may not be 0 as long as it is satisfied that the voltage at the first power supply terminal VDD1 is lower than the preset threshold voltage when the third switching unit 2900 is turned on. The output terminal of the third switching unit 2900 is electrically connected to one terminal of the first resistor R1, the other terminal of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal VDD, the control terminal of the third switching unit 2900 is electrically connected to the second shipping entrance terminal QR2 of the capacitance detection module 2200, under normal conditions, the third switching unit 2900 is off, the second shipping entrance terminal QR2 is in a high impedance state, when the user's lips leave the suction nozzle, the capacitance detection module 2200 generates a shipping entrance signal, the shipping entrance signal controls the third switching unit 2900 to be turned on through the second shipping entrance terminal QR2, the branch composed of the second resistor R2, the first resistor R1 and the third switching unit 2900 is on, and since the second resistor R2 and the first resistor R1 have the same resistance, the second resistor R2 and the first resistor R1 divide the battery voltage, so that the voltage signal received at the first power supply terminal 1 is reduced, and the battery voltage is reduced to half in this embodiment, typically, half of the battery voltage will be below the predetermined threshold voltage for deep discharge settings, typically, battery 2400 is supplied with a voltage in the range of 2.8V to 4.2V, the threshold voltage for deep discharge is typically 2.8V, and half of battery 2400 is supplied with a voltage in the range of 1.4V to 2.1V below the threshold voltage for deep discharge. Therefore, when the third switching unit 2900 is turned on, the over-discharge voltage protection unit 2140 detects that the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD1 is lower than the preset threshold voltage, and at this time, the over-discharge voltage protection unit 2140 controls the first switching unit 2300 to be turned off through the switch control terminal CO/DO, so that the battery protection module 2100 enters the shipping mode, and the battery protection module 2100 is in the 0 power consumption mode in the shipping mode as a whole. In this embodiment, the third switching unit 2900 is an NMOS transistor. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present application, the third switching unit 2900 may also be a PMOS transistor. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the resistances of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 may be different as long as the third switching unit 2900 is turned on to enable the first power supply terminal VDD to be lower than the threshold voltage. In this embodiment, the third switching unit 2900 is located outside the capacitance detection module 2200, but the application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the application, the third switching unit 2900 and the capacitance detection module 2200 may be located on the same system on chip, that is, on the same chip.
After the battery protection module 2100 enters the shipping mode, and after the capacitance detection module 2200 detects that the voltage of the system terminal VM is pulled up, the capacitance detection module 2200 controls the third switching unit 2900 to turn off through the second shipping entrance terminal QR2, so that the loop of the positive electrode of the battery 2400, the second resistor R2, the first resistor R1, the third switching unit 2900, and the negative electrode of the battery 2400 is turned off, and thus, the loop can be prevented from consuming power all the time in the shipping mode, and power consumption can be reduced. In this embodiment, the capacitance detection module 2200 detects the voltage of the system terminal VM through the second ship exit terminal QC 2.
In this embodiment, when the user touches the nozzle with his lips, the capacitance detection unit 2220 generates a shipping exit signal and outputs the shipping exit signal to the second shipping exit QC2, where the shipping exit signal is a low level signal, the second shipping exit QC2 outputs the shipping exit signal to the system VM, and the system VM is pulled from a high level to a low level, thereby controlling the battery protection module 2100 to exit the shipping mode.

Tenth embodiment
Referring to fig. 25, fig. 25 is a circuit block diagram of an electronic device according to a tenth embodiment of the present application, which is similar to the first to ninth embodiments, so that the undescribed portions of the present embodiment can refer to the previous embodiments, and the main difference between the present embodiment and the previous embodiments is to further reduce power consumption.
In the foregoing embodiment, regardless of whether the battery protection module 2100 is in the shipping mode or in the normal operation mode after exiting the shipping mode, the capacitance detection module 2200 is constantly powered by the battery 2400, and the capacitance detection module 2200 is constantly in the normal operation mode, so that there is always power consumption of the capacitance detection module 2200, which is relatively small, but there is room for improvement. In this embodiment, the power consumption of the battery protection circuit 2000 is further reduced, and the service life of the battery 2400 is prolonged.
In this embodiment, when the battery protection module 2100 exits the shipping mode to be in the normal operating mode, at least part of the units of the capacitance detection module 2200 consume no power, for example, the capacitance detection unit 2220 consumes no power, preferably, the entire capacitance detection module 2200 consumes no power, that is, the entire capacitance detection module 2200 is in the 0 power consumption mode, at this time, the capacitance detection unit 2220 cannot detect the change of the capacitance, and the capacitance detection unit 2220 does not operate; when the battery protection module 2100 enters the shipping mode, the capacitance detection module 2200 recovers power supply, the subsequent capacitance detection module 2200 is in a normal operation mode, and the capacitance detection unit 2220 can normally detect a capacitance change. Thus, compared to the previous embodiment, when the battery protection module 2100 is in the normal operation mode, at least part of the units of the capacitance detection module 2200 of this embodiment are not powered, even in the 0 power consumption mode, so as to further reduce the energy consumption of the battery protection circuit 2000, and further extend the usage time of the electronic cigarette, which is particularly important for disposable electronic cigarettes that cannot be charged. In this embodiment, when the system circuit 131 consumes no power in the shipping mode, the battery protection module 2100 is in the 0 power consumption mode, but it is needless to say that at least some of the cells of the battery protection module 2100 may consume no power.

In this embodiment, when capacitor detecting unit 2220 outputs a shipping exit signal to first shipping exit QC1 via second shipping exit QC2, battery protection module 2100 exits shipping mode while battery protection module 2100 or capacitor detecting module 2200 controls capacitor detecting module 2200 to consume no power for at least some of the units, preferably capacitor detecting module 2200 is in a 0-power-consuming mode; when the second timing unit 2160 of the battery protection module 2100 times the second preset time, the second timing unit 2160 generates a shipping entry signal, the battery protection module 2100 enters a shipping mode and outputs a wake-up signal to the capacitance detection module 2200, and the capacitance detection module 2200 wakes up to be in a normal operation mode.

In this embodiment, the cigarette rod case 111 is a plastic case, the detecting electrode 2210 is installed on the inner side of the outer surface of the cigarette rod case 111, that is, the detecting electrode 2210 is embedded in the cigarette rod case 111 or the detecting electrode 2210 is attached to the inner surface of the cigarette rod case 111 or the detecting electrode 2210 is located on the inner side of the cigarette rod case 111, and the detecting electrode 2210 is electrically connected to the capacitance detecting terminal CJ. In this embodiment, the detecting electrode 2210 is embedded in the cigarette rod housing 111, the detecting electrode 2210 is in a strip shape, and the detecting electrode 2210 extends along the central axis direction of the cigarette rod 110, i.e. along the length direction of the cigarette rod 110. In this embodiment, the inner surface of the sidewall of the cigarette rod case 111 is provided with an opening corresponding to the detecting electrode 2210, and one end of the second intermediate connecting member 137 passes through the opening to be electrically connected to the detecting electrode 2210, and the other end is electrically connected to the capacitance detecting terminal CJ.
In this embodiment, the detecting electrode 2210 extends from one end (lower end) of the cigarette rod 110 away from the cartridge 120 to the other end (upper end) of the cigarette rod 110, i.e., the length of the detecting electrode 2210 is equal or approximately equal to the length of the cigarette rod 110. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the length of the detecting electrode 2210 is smaller than the length of the cigarette rod 110, and generally, when the user holds the cigarette rod 110, the user will generally hold the middle portion of the cigarette rod 110 or the lower portion of the cigarette rod 110, so that the end (upper end) of the cigarette rod 110 near the cigarette cartridge 120 may not be provided with the detecting electrode 2210, and the detecting electrode 2210 extends from the lower end of the cigarette rod 110 to the middle portion of the cigarette rod 110, which can prevent the electronic cigarette from not exiting the shipping mode when the user holds the cigarette rod 110. In this embodiment, the number of the detecting electrodes 2210 may be one or more, and when there are a plurality of detecting electrodes 2210, the detecting electrodes 2210 are disposed in parallel and electrically connected to the capacitance detecting end CJ together, the detecting electrodes 2210 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the cigarette rod 110, and the length of the detecting electrodes 2210 and the position of the cigarette rod 110 in the axial direction are the same, so as to reduce the probability that the capacitance change is not triggered when the user holds the cigarette rod 110. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of the detecting electrodes 2210 is plural, the plural detecting electrodes 2210 are arranged along the central axis direction of the cigarette rod 110, preferably uniformly arranged, and two adjacent detecting electrodes 2210, which are shorter than the length of the cigarette rod 110, cover both ends of the cigarette rod 110, that is, one detecting electrode 2210 extends from the lower end of the cigarette rod 110 to the upper end, and the other adjacent detecting electrode 2210 extends from the upper end of the cigarette rod 110 to the lower end, so that the defect that the detecting electrode 2210 is shorter and cannot completely cover the cigarette rod 110 can be overcome, and the probability that the capacitance change is not triggered when the user holds the cigarette rod 110 by hand can be further prevented; in addition, in the present embodiment, the length of the detection electrode 2210 is greater than or equal to half of the length of the tobacco rod 110, so that two adjacent detection electrodes 2210 may partially overlap at the middle position of the tobacco rod 110.
In other embodiments of the present application, detection electrode 2210 is not limited to a strip shape, but may have other shapes. For example, in other embodiments of the present application, the sensing electrode 2210 extends along the central axis direction of the cigarette rod 110, the sensing electrode 2210 is U-shaped, the sensing electrode 2210 extends from a first side of the cigarette rod housing 111 to a second side of the cigarette rod housing 111, the first side and the second side being opposite to each other; alternatively, the detection electrode 2210 is spiral-shaped, and the central axis of the detection electrode 2210 is parallel to or coincides with the central axis of the tobacco rod 110.
In the present embodiment, the tobacco rod 110 is flat, and the tobacco rod 110 generally comprises four side walls except for the upper end near the cartridge 120 and the lower end far from the cartridge 120, and the four side walls have the same length in the length direction of the tobacco rod 110, wherein two opposite side walls are wider and are called as a third wide side wall and a fourth wide side wall, and the other two side walls are narrower and are called as a third narrow side wall and a fourth narrow side wall. In this embodiment, the third wide side wall or/and the fourth wide side wall is provided with the detection electrode 2210, the third narrow side wall or/and the fourth narrow side wall is provided with the detection electrode 2210, the width of the detection electrode 2210 positioned on the wide side wall is greater than or equal to the width of the detection electrode 2210 positioned on the narrow side wall, and the width of the detection electrode 2210 positioned in the middle of the wide side wall is the widest, which is a position easily touched by a user, and is relatively easy to cause capacitance change. Generally speaking, when the user holds the outer wall of the cigarette rod 110 by hand, the user will typically hold three side walls of the outer wall of the cigarette rod 110, and typically hold two narrow side walls and one wide side wall of the three side walls at the same time, and it is preferable that the sensing electrode 2210 is located inside or inner surface of the third narrow side wall and/or the fourth narrow side wall because it is uncertain whether the third wide side wall or the fourth wide side wall is held.
In this embodiment, when the user holds the cigarette rod 110 with a hand, one or more of the detection electrodes 2210 and the hand form a capacitance, so that the capacitance detection unit 2220 can detect the total capacitance change, the capacitance detection unit 2220 sends a shipping exit signal to the battery protection module 2100, and the battery protection module 2100 exits the shipping mode; when the user releases the tobacco rod 110, the capacitance detection unit 2220 may detect that the total capacitance changes again, the capacitance detection unit 2220 sends a shipping entry signal to the battery protection module 2100, and the battery protection module 2100 enters a shipping mode. This embodiment does not frequently enter and exit the ship mode with respect to the embodiment where sensing electrode 2210 is located at nozzle 122, and the power consumption is higher with respect to the embodiment where sensing electrode 2210 is located at nozzle 122, but the power consumption is still low. The manner of passing the timer in the previous embodiment is not applicable in this embodiment. The detecting electrode 2210 of this embodiment is located in the cigarette rod, and the connection between the detecting electrode 2210 and the capacitance detecting module is relatively simple.
In this embodiment, the detection electrode 2210 is located inside the smoke rod 110, the detection electrode 2210 is electrically connected to the capacitance detection module 2200, and the detection electrode 2210 detects whether the palm of the user's hand contacts the smoke rod housing 111, thereby controlling the battery protection module 2100 to exit or enter the shipping mode. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the detection electrode 2210 and the capacitance detection module 2200 are used to detect whether the palm of the user touches the cigarette rod housing 111, and can also be used to implement other functions of the electronic cigarette, such as counting the usage frequency of the electronic cigarette, counting the usage duration and the standby duration of the electronic cigarette, and the like.

Referring to fig. 30, fig. 30 is a cross-sectional view of a tobacco rod according to a fourteenth embodiment of the present application, which is similar to the thirteenth embodiment, so that the undescribed parts of the present embodiment can refer to the previous embodiments, and the main difference between the present embodiment and the thirteenth embodiment is that the tobacco rod housing 111 is a metal housing.
Generally, the rod housing 111 of the electronic cigarette on the market is generally a metal housing, and the solution that the detection electrode 2210 is embedded in the rod housing 111 or attached to the inner surface of the rod housing 111 is not suitable. To overcome this problem, in the present embodiment, the cigarette rod casing 111 is provided with an opening, and the opening is U-shaped, long strip-shaped, spiral-shaped, L-shaped, or the like. When the cigarette rod is U-shaped, L-shaped or long-strip-shaped, the part with a longer opening extends along the direction of the central shaft of the cigarette rod shell 111; when helical, the central axis of the helix is now the same as the central axis of the tobacco rod housing 111. In this embodiment, the smoke rod 110 further includes a non-shielding second shielding portion 219, the non-shielding second shielding portion 219 is located at the opening, the second shielding portion 219 can be mounted on the smoke rod housing 111 by clipping, bonding or other methods, and the detection electrode 2210 is embedded in the second shielding portion 219, that is, the detection electrode 2210 is located between the inner surface and the outer surface of the second shielding portion 219. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the detection electrode 2210 may also be attached to the inner surface of the second shielding part 219. In the present embodiment, the second shielding portion 219 is made of a plastic material, glass, or the like.

The second intermediate connection 137 is, for example, a wire, a lead, or the like.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the non-metal second shielding portion 219 can be designed for decoration, so that the monotonicity of the metal shell of the tobacco rod 110 can be reduced, and the aesthetic feeling of the tobacco rod 110 can be improved.
Fifteenth embodiment
Referring to fig. 31, fig. 31 is a circuit block diagram of an electronic device according to a fifteenth embodiment of the present application, which is similar to the first to fourteenth embodiments, so that the undescribed portions of the present embodiment can refer to the previous embodiments, and the main difference between the present embodiment and the previous embodiments is how to exit the shipping mode when the proximity detection module 2800 and the proximity unit 2810 are damaged.
The electronic cigarette is in the shipping mode most of the time, and when the proximity detection module 2800 or the proximity unit 2810 is damaged, the proximity detection module 2800 does not issue a shipping exit signal even if the user's lips contact or approach the mouthpiece 122 or the user's hand contacts or approaches the cigarette rod 110, and the electronic cigarette does not exit the shipping mode. When a user sucks through the suction nozzle 122, the first switch unit 2300 is turned off in the shipping mode, and the system circuit 131, the airflow sensor 133, and the atomizer 132 are not powered on, so that no smoke is generated, that is, no smoke is generated when the user sucks with force, and the user thinks that the electronic cigarette is damaged and only can be forced to discard the electronic cigarette or replace one cartridge 120, but for the disposable electronic cigarette, the user can only discard the electronic cigarette because the cartridge 120 cannot be replaced.
In order to solve the above problem, in the present embodiment, referring to fig. 31, a system terminal VM (pin), a first shipping exit terminal QC1 (pin), a first shipping exit terminal QY1 (pin), a second shipping exit terminal QC2 (pin) or a second shipping exit terminal QY2 (pin) of the proximity detection module 2800 is connected to a push-button switch 2700. Specifically, the system terminal VM (pin), the first shipping exit terminal QC1 (pin), the first shipping end QY1 (pin), the second shipping exit terminal QC2 (pin) or the second shipping end QY2 (pin) of the proximity detection module 2800 are connected to one end of the push switch 2700, and the other end of the push switch 2700 is connected to a high level or a low level, which may be set according to a level required for the battery protection module to exit the shipping mode. When the push button switch 2700 is pressed, both ends of the push button switch 2700 are short-circuited, and when the push button switch 2700 is not pressed, both ends of the push button switch 2700 are open. In this embodiment, the cigarette rod housing 111 is further provided with a fine hole, the fine hole corresponds to a button or a key of the button switch 2700, when the proximity detection module 2800 or the proximity unit 2810 is damaged, a user can force the button switch 2700 to be pressed down through the fine hole of the cigarette rod housing 111 by a fine needle at this time, two ends of the button switch 2700 are short-circuited, the battery protection module 2100 exits from the shipping mode, the electronic cigarette operates in the normal operation mode, when the user releases his hand, two ends of the button switch 2700 are disconnected, and the battery protection module 2100 cannot receive a shipping entering signal because the proximity detection module 2800 or the proximity unit 2810 is damaged, so that the electronic cigarette still maintains in the normal operation mode, and the electronic cigarette can normally operate. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, battery protection module 2100 may be further configured such that after button switch 2700 is pressed to exit battery protection module 2100 from shipping mode, battery protection module 2100 does not enter shipping mode. Moreover, because the push button switch 2700 is located within the cigarette rod housing 111, the push button switch 2700 cannot be easily accidentally activated.
In one implementation of this embodiment, the first switch unit 2300 is placed downwards, one end of the push button switch 2700 is electrically connected to the system terminal VM, and the other end of the push button switch 2700 is grounded, for example, to the negative terminal of the battery 2400 or the first power ground terminal GND1, where the push button switch 2700 is not located on the system on chip 2500.
