Optimize Power Input Circuit #55

Open codeThatThinks opened 4 years ago

codeThatThinks commented 4 years ago

The power input OR'ing diodes dissipate a significant amount of power when operating near maximum power input. The USB FET switch dissipates a lot less power (0.018W vs. 0.160W).

We might want to investigate using ideal diodes or somehow eliminating the OR'ing diodes.
