A method and an apparatus are used for power supply input connection. The
apparatus according to one embodiment comprises a first switch module
(143_1) connected to a first power supply input (Vin1); a first
controller module (145_1) connected to the first power supply input
(Vin1) and to a secondary power connection (Vc), wherein the first
controller module (145_1) puts the first switch module (143_1) in a first
operating state when a parameter relating to the first power supply input
(Vin1) is larger than a parameter relating to the secondary power
connection (Vc), and puts the first switch module (143_1) in a second
operating state when the parameter relating to the first power supply
input (Vin1) is smaller than the parameter relating to the secondary
power connection (Vc); and a first driver module (160_1) connected to the
first controller module (145_1) and to the first switch module (143_1),
wherein the first driver module (160_1) modifies a parameter relating to
a drive characteristic of the first switch module (143_1).
