Hi John2025,
you are absolutely right. Improving from 0,7W down to <0,05W was a huge step. Now I'm looking to gain some more without increasing the BOM costs to much.

Hello Gunnar,
my application is a Staircase lighting time switches (hopefully) designed for low power. Right now the whole circuit consumes less then 50mW at 230VAC/50Hz. "Less then" should mean: I do not trust my meters which say 21mW (I'm waiting for a special standby power meter). The PIC...
Hi,
@macgyver:
Maybe a MOSFET with a very high Vgs would work, but I haven't seen such a device yet :(
@VF1BLL:
I don't want to waste energy, that's all.

Hi @all,
I'm looking for a bright idea to monitor the main line for zero voltage crossing, with the lowest possible power consumption. Does anyone have a hint with a current consumption <5µA (my application 230VAC 50HZ)?

Andreas
