Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon sequences of computer-executable instructions for operating a power circuit, the sequences of computer-executable instructions including instructions that instruct at least one processor to operate the power circuit to:
receive input power from an input source at an input;
operate a Logic Power Supply (LPS) to convert the input power into LPS output power provided to a first switch, the LPS being configured to provide, in a first mode of operation, the LPS output power with a first voltage level to the first switch in response to receiving an indication that a load coupled to the first switch is being powered by the LPS output power and configured to provide, in a second mode of operation, the LPS output power with a second voltage level to the first switch in response to receiving an indication that the load is not being powered by the LPS output power, the second voltage level being generated by the LPS based on a level sufficient to power a controller coupled to the power circuit;
control, in the first mode of operation, the first switch to couple the LPS to a first output configured to be coupled to the load;
control, in the second mode of operation, the first switch to decouple the LPS from the first output;
convert, in the second mode of operation with a converter coupled to the LPS and a second output, the LPS output power with the second voltage level into converter output power; and
provide, in the second mode of operation, the converter output power to the controller via the second output to power the controller,
wherein the second output is disconnected from the first output such that the second output does not provide power to the first switch.
