Dear all
I want to design a power supply for a low power rig with protection for
reverse and overvoltage. The requirement would be about 1A at 12-14V.
What is the best way of achieving this? I guess a diode would give
reverse voltage protection but the 0.6V drop is a problem.
Power Schottky diodes are available that have a forward voltage
drop of 0.3 or less. More expensive, yes, but they really do work.
