Abstract
In some examples, a control circuit for a bypass capacitor includes a switch assembly that is activatable between a first state to connect the bypass capacitor between nodes, and a second state to disconnect the bypass capacitor between the nodes. The switch assembly includes a first switch to activate a first path comprising a first resistance to begin charging the bypass capacitor, and a second switch to, a delayed time after the activating of the first path, activate a second path comprising a second resistance lower than the first resistance, the activated second path connecting the bypass capacitor between the nodes.
