Abstract
The present invention comprises a method for gating a power supply. A gating command terminal is capacitively coupled to an on/off switch. A gating command signal is provided at the gating command terminal. The gating command signal is operable to activate the on/off switch. An off signal is generated at an output terminal of the on/off switch in response to an off state of the on/off switch being activated. An on signal is generated at the output terminal in response to an on state of the on/off switch being activated.
