ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for switching between two power supplies, a primary power supply and a secondary power supply. The present invention generates a first reference voltage using the voltage of the primary power supply and the secondary power supply, wherein the primary power supply voltage is variable. The present invention also generates a second reference voltage based on the voltage of the primary power supply. The first and second reference voltages each have a different slope and the crossing point between these two reference voltages indicate that a switch between the primary power supply and the secondary power supply should occur.
