ABSTRACT:
A power supply supplies power from a bus at a hub to a peripheral over a bus which plugs into a connector at the hub, the connector having a plurality of contacts, including at least two power contacts the power supply. When the bus is plugged into the connector, a mated contact is provided in the connector at the hub. When a mating connector on the bus is plugged in, one of the plurality of contacts is shorted to the mated contact. The sensed shorting at the mated contact is used to control the ramping of current on the power lines of connector.
