More Information
Summary:Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed including a capacitor, located in a universal serial bus schematic. The methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture include a controller, include a controller including a state machine and a control signal generator, wherein the controller is configured to be coupled to a connector and to a power supply, the state machine is configured to determine a state of the connector, and the control signal generator is configured to, in response to an indication of a device not connected to the connector, generate a signal to indicate to the power supply to charge a capacitor to a threshold voltage, and wherein the control signal generator is further configured to generate the signal until a second state.
