Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide a circuit. The circuit includes a switch and a switch controller. The switch is between a first node that receives a first power supply and a second node, and is controlled to couple/decouple the second node with the first node to switch on/off a second power supply at the second node. The switch controller is configured to generate a switch control signal to control a charging current flowing through the switch to switch on the second power supply.
