ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method for managing a multi-level power supply. The method includes comparing a voltage level (Vs1) of a lower voltage supply bus to a voltage level (Vs2) of a higher voltage supply bus, and routing current from the lower voltage supply bus to the higher voltage supply bus if Vs2<Vs1. The lower and higher voltage supply busses provide power to a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit. The method prevents a latch-up of the CMOS circuit. There is also provided a circuit that employs the method.
