Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving alternating current (AC) power; providing the AC power to an electronic circuit, at least in part, via a bulk capacitor coupled to a field-effect transistor (FET), wherein the FET is coupled to a capacitor circuit configured to limit an amount of AC inrush current provided to the bulk capacitor; and providing a current source coupled to the bulk capacitor and to the capacitor circuit, wherein a gate terminal of the FET is coupled to a third terminal of the current source, a drain terminal of the FET is coupled to a second terminal of the capacitor circuit and to a second terminal of the bulk capacitor, and a first terminal of the current source is coupled to a first terminal of the capacitor circuit and to a first terminal of the bulk capacitor.
