Abstract
A computing device includes a switch that operates in a linear mode according to a threshold based on a detection of an increase of current drawn by a device that is connected to the switch. The linear mode delivers a constant amount of current to the device. The switch, upon reaching the threshold, exits the linear mode and operates in a non-linear mode to communicate power to the device.
