Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for a power switch with a slow in-rush current are presented. Aspects of the system may include at least one resistive component, which is coupled between an input control signal and an output stage circuit of a power switch circuit, so as to limit a peak transient current level, which may result from in-rush current delivered by the power switch circuit to a load impedance circuit during a transient time interval during which a voltage level across the load impedance circuit may rise or fall from an initial voltage level to a quiescent voltage level.
