Abstract
A voltage feedback loop employed with a power distribution switch rapidly responds to a predetermined drop in output voltage to increase the resistance of the switch for a predetermined time. After this predetermined time, a current feedback loop controls the resistance until the output voltage recovers, while also isolating the voltage feedback loop from the switch.
