    Abstract: In described examples, in response to a voltage at an external power terminal falling below a safe limit: a charge pump is operated at a first frequency to produce a voltage at a charge pump node; and a first controlled current is coupled from the charge pump node to a control terminal of a power switch transistor. The power switch transistor has a conduction path coupled between the external power terminal and an internal power terminal at which an internal power source is connected. In response to the voltage at the external power terminal reaching a selected level: the charge pump is operated at a second frequency, lower than the first frequency; and a second controlled current, lower than the first controlled current, is coupled from the charge pump node to the control terminal of the power switch transistor.

    Abstract: In described examples, a switch has: a first current handling terminal coupled to a supply source terminal; and a second current handling terminal coupled to an output terminal. A comparator has: a first input coupled to the second current handling terminal; and a second input. A voltage reference source has: a first terminal coupled to the first current handling terminal; and a second terminal coupled to the second input of the comparator. A slew rate detector has an input coupled to the second current handling terminal. A switch controller has: a first input coupled to the comparator output; and a second input coupled to an output of the slew rate detector. The switch controller is coupled to output a signal to cause the switch to open when the comparator detects an over-current condition through the switch while the slew rate detector detects a negative slew rate.
