1. An electronic circuit comprising:
a charge storing component configured to be charged by a power source;
a set of one or more switching components coupled to the charge storing component; and
an additional switching component coupled to each of the one or more switching components in the set,
wherein the additional switching component is configured to operate in a first state when the power source is providing power and in a second state when the power source is not providing power, the additional switching component configured to receive a current from the charge storing component in the first state to prevent the current to flow from the charge storing component to each of the one or more switching components in the set, and the second state allowing the current to flow from the charge storing component to each of the one or more switching components in the set.
