Power supply unit with multiple lanes, one for each peripheral. To keep the power demand down, it makes sense to shut down any device which is not used atm. Most significantly, the microSD card.

My first thought was to use p-channel MOSFETs for the peripherals. The switched outputs may be obsolete if all the devices can be shut down, for example with an input-enable pin or a software command.

But I guess at least the OpAmps in the input stage can't be disabled, right?
