1. An electronic device, comprising:

  • a power source configured to generate a reference voltage;

    a data storage element comprising a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal, wherein the first input terminal is configured to receive the reference voltage, wherein the second input terminal is configured to receive an electrical input signal, wherein the data storage element is configured to change state in response to reception of the electrical input signal, and wherein a first output signal is generated at the output terminal of the data storage element in response to the data storage element changing state;

    a power circuit comprising a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal, wherein the first input terminal is configured to receive the reference voltage, wherein the second input terminal is configured to receive the first output signal from the data storage element, and wherein the power circuit is configured to be enabled in response to reception of the first output signal; and

    a processor coupled to the output terminal of the power circuit and to a control terminal of the data storage element, wherein the power circuit is configured to provide power to the processor when the power circuit is enabled, wherein the processor is configured to provide a control signal to the control terminal of the data storage element to clear the first output signal, wherein clearing the first output signal causes the power circuit to be disabled and to cease provision of power to the processor to conserve power of the power source.
