Abstract
An exemplary apparatus provides a regulated DC voltage output from an input from supply DC voltage source. A regulation circuit having an input terminal coupled to the supply DC voltage source, an output terminal on which is provided the regulated DC voltage output, and a current control terminal capable of controlling a maximum current that can flow through the regulation circuit where a level of maximum current is controlled proportionate to an amount of resistance connected to the current control terminal. A surge control circuit connected to the current control terminal automatically supplies a variable resistance beginning with one resistance at turn-ON and varying to another resistance at a predetermined time interval after turn-ON to limit the current that can flow at turn-ON until a steady state of the regulation circuit is reached.
