Abstract:
A circuit includes a voltage source, a transistor, a load current sensor, a hardware latch and a logic circuit. The transistor is connected between the voltage source and a load. The sensor emits a fault signal when the load current exceeds a predetermined value. The hardware latch sets a latch signal when it receives the fault signal and maintains the latch signal until it receives a rearm signal. The logic circuit receives the latch signal from the hardware latch and also receives a software command for controlling turning on and off of the circuit. When the latch signal is not set, the logic circuit converts the software command to a control voltage applied at a gate of the transistor, turning on the transistor to allow power delivery to the load. A system includes a microcontroller providing software commands and rearm signals to a plurality of circuits.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for powering multiple loads, comprising:\n one or more channels, each channel being configured for powering a respective load, each channel comprising the circuit of  claim 1 ; and a microcontroller operatively connected to the hardware latch and to the logic circuit of each channel, the microcontroller being adapted to provide software commands for individually turning on and off the transistor of each channel and to provide rearm signals for individually resetting the hardware latches of each channel.
