1. A system comprising:
- an electronic device including at least one input for receiving at least one enable signal and external data; and
a wake-up circuit including at least one input for receiving at least one informational signal, an output for sending the at least one enable signal to the electronic device, and a data interface for external configuration of the wake-up circuit;
wherein, if the at least one informational signal satisfies predefined criteria, the wake-up circuit enables the electronic device by way of the at least one enable signal before the external data is received by the electronic device.

Abstract
A system comprises an electronic device including at least one input for receiving at least one enable signal and external data. The system also comprises a wake-up circuit including at least one input for receiving at least one informational signal, an output for sending the at least one enable signal to the electronic device, and a data interface for external configuration of the wake-up circuit. If the at least one informational signal satisfies predefined criteria, the wake-up circuit enables the electronic device by way of the at least one enable signal before the external data is received by the electronic device.

17. A system comprising:
-
a data logger including an input for receiving external data, and an input for receiving an enable signal; a wake-up circuit including an input for receiving at least one informational signal, the at least one informational signal including at least one of time information and power source health information, a computing device that uses the at least one informational signal to determine actions to take, the actions including transitioning the wake-up circuit to a low power state in response to the at least one of time information and power source health information, an output for sending the enable signal to the data logger in response to an instruction received from the computing device, and a data interface for external configuration of the wake-up circuit; wherein, if the at least one informational signal satisfies first predefined criteria, the wake-up circuit enables the data logger by way of applying the enable signal before the external data is received by the data logger; and wherein, if the at least one of time information and power source health information satisfies second predefined criteria, the wake-up circuit disables the data logger. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
