Abstract
A circuit includes a voltage bus, a load, a plurality of switches, a controller, an encoder, a first switch group, and a second switch group. The first switch group is electrically connected between the voltage bus and the load. The second switch group is also electrically connected between the voltage bus and the load. The controller provides a first output signal indicating a required number of switches to be turned on to meet a power demand of the load. The encoder is configured to select a first combination of on/off states of the first switch group and the second switch group based on (i) the first output signal from the controller and (ii) a second combination of on/off states of the first switch group and the second switch group, and in response to selecting the first combination, transmit a switch signal to effect the first combination.
