FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of an interface supply circuit and an interface. -
FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the interface supply circuit and the interface ofFIG. 1 . - It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described.

- The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
- The present disclosure is described in relation to a power supply circuit used to supply power to an interface.

Thedetection chip 31 is further configured to output a second control signal after detecting a corresponding device inserted into theinterface 40. Thesecond power supply 13 is configured to be disconnected from theinterface 40 after thecontrol unit 20 receives the second control signal, thus thesecond power supply 13 does not supply power to theinterface 40. -

Thesecond control circuit 23 comprises a second FET Q2 and a second resistor R2.
