Abstract
An interface supply circuit includes a power supply unit, a control unit coupled to the power supply unit, and a detection unit coupled to the control unit. The detection unit is configured to couple to an interface. The detection unit is configured to output a first control signal upon detecting that a device is inserted into the interface and output a second control signal upon detecting that no device is inserted into the interface. The control unit is configured to be switched on upon receiving the first control signal. The power supply unit is configured to supply power to the interface in event that the control unit is switched on. The power supply unit is configured to be disconnected from the interface in event that the control unit receives the second control signal.
