Abstract
A power supply component comprising a supply node to provide a supply voltage and a supply line to provide a source voltage. The supply line comprising a source node that has a source voltage, and the supply line includes a supply line switch coupled between the source node and the supply node, wherein the supply line switch couples the source voltage to the supply node when the supply line switch is closed. A current diversion component diverts leakage current away from one or both of the source node and the supply node when the supply line switch is open.
Claims1
A power supply component comprising:
- a supply node to provide a supply voltage;
- a supply line comprising:
- a source node that has a source voltage;
- a supply line switch coupled between the source node and the supply node, the supply line switch coupling the source voltage to the supply node when the supply line switch is closed;
- and
- a current diversion component to divert leakage current away from one or both of the source node and the supply node when the supply line switch is open.
