1. A dynamic switch for connecting and disconnecting an integrated electronic circuit from a power source, said dynamic switch comprising:
- a power input for electrically connecting to the power source;
a power output for electrically connecting to said integrated electronic circuit;
a first signal input for receiving connect/disconnect signals;
a first means responsive to said first signal input receiving a connect/disconnect signal for electrically connecting and disconnecting said power input and said power output; and
said first means including a first inverter, a first NAND gate, and a second NAND gate, said first inverter having an input and an output, and each of said first NAND gate and said second NAND gate having first and second inputs, and an output, said input of said first inverter electrically connected to said first signal input, said output of said first inverter electrically connected to said second input of said first NAND gate, said first input of said first NAND gate electrically connected to the power source and said output of said first NAND gate electrically connected to said second input of said second NAND gate.
