Circuitry and methodology for controlling a FET or another transistor device provided to supply power to a circuit board insertable into a live backplane to provide inrush current slew rate control. The FET control circuit is responsive to an input signal variable in a preset manner to produce a FET control signal for controlling the FET so as to form an output signal corresponding to the input signal. The control circuit is configured to prevent the uncontrollable step in the output from being produced when the FET control signal reaches a level sufficient to control the FET. In one embodiment, a comparator is provided for comparing the FET control signal with a reference value that may correspond to a current for charging a control terminal of the FET to prevent the input signal from changing until the FET control signal exceeds the reference value.
