ABSTRACT:
A power module includes a plurality of converters having outputs for coupling to a supply voltage. The power module further includes a connector having a pin to provide a signal indicative of whether the power module is being disconnected from a system. A controller is responsive to the signal indicating that the power module is being disconnected by sequentially deasserting enable signals to the converters to disable the converters in a sequential order.
