A circuit may include a source input for receiving an input voltage, a load output for generating an output voltage, a load switch coupled at its source to the source input and coupled at its drain to the load output which is configured to pass the input voltage to the load output when the load switch is activated, an enable input for receiving an enable voltage which is indicative of whether the load switch is to be activated or deactivated, and a leakage reduction circuit coupled between the enable input and a gate of the load switch, wherein the leakage reduction circuit is configured to electrically couple the gate of the load switch to the source of the load switch such that a source-to-gate voltage is maintained below a threshold voltage for activating the load switch when the enable voltage indicates that the load switch is to be deactivated.

Systems and methods for long soft start time load switch control

An electronic apparatus is disclosed, which comprises: a casing, a cap, a data storage unit and an ejecting module. The casing has an accommodation space formed by the enclosure of two sidewalls of the casing. The accommodation space is further configured with an opening that can be covered by the cap so as to seal the accommodation space. The ejecting module is comprised of: a holder, pivotally coupled to one of the two sidewalls while clamping the data storage unit; and a first elastic element, disposed at a position for allowing the same to be compress when the opening is covered by the cap, and consequently, enabling the first elastic element to be released from the compression when the cap is removed from the opening, and thus bringing along the holder to rotate in a specific direction for lifting and exposing the data storage unit out of the accommodation space.
