SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISENGAGING CIRCUIT COMPONENTS FROM AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE

An apparatus (e.g., an analyte sensor) may include an energy storage device, first circuit components, second circuit components, an antenna, a rectifier, and a power switch. The antenna may be configured to generate an alternating current when in an electromagnetic field. The rectifier may be configured to convert the alternating current to direct current. The power switch may be configured to disconnect the energy storage device from the first and second circuit components such that current cannot leak from the energy storage device to the first and second circuit components. The power switch may further be configured to connect the rectifier to the first circuit components in an energy storage device disabled state and connect the energy storage device to at least the second circuit components in an energy storage device enabled state.
