Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include an apparatus. The apparatus includes a voltage supply line, a sense circuit coupled to the voltage supply line, and a bleeder circuit. The sense circuit is configured to sense a voltage level of the voltage supply line. The bleeder circuit is configured to bleed a remaining charge available on a capacitor when the voltage level reaches a device threshold voltage. The device threshold voltage arises from a device connected to the apparatus.
