Abstract:
Power switching is facilitated. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a power-switch apparatus includes a plurality of switches coupled between a voltage supply and a switched voltage output. A test control circuit operates the switches for testing a subset thereof, therein indicating a condition of the subset, which may be indicated independently from a condition of the power-switch apparatus as a whole. In some implementations, on-chip current loads are applied to emulate off-chip loads for testing the subset of switches, or individual switches.
