Abstract
A solid-state switch, comprising at least one switch controller. At least one switch having a first terminal coupled to a power source, a second terminal coupled to the power source and a control terminal coupled to the switch controller and configured to selectively conduct and block current flow from the first terminal to the second terminal. At least one power converter coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal and configured to convert power from the power source from a first voltage level to a second voltage level and to provide power at the second voltage level to the switch controller.

1-19. (canceled)
A circuit, comprising:
- at least one solid-state switch;
- at least one power converter configured to convert power from a power source from a first voltage level to a second voltage level and to provide the converted power at the second voltage level to at least one component;
- and
- a current controller coupled to an output of the power converter and configured to limit an amount of current supplied from a first terminal and a second terminal of the at least one solid state switch to the at least one component based on a control signal from the at least one component.
