Abstract

A method of operating a circuit having a capacitor and a load that are connectable to, and disconnetable from, a voltage source by an electronically controllable switch, the method includes charging the capacitor by raising a voltage across the capacitor from an initial voltage value and at a constant rate by controlling the switch to supply current to the capacitor at a constant current supply rate that is selected to avoid damage to the switch, and then operating the switch to supply current from the voltage source to the capacitor when the voltage across the capacitor reaches the voltage source's voltage.
