6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Battery and external power supply compatible circuit”

Can a portable equipment operate from a battery pack or external power source?

Portable equipment that can operate from a battery pack or an external power source (such as a wall-adapter or external supply) needs to be able to smoothly switch between the two power sources. This application note describes a circuit (Figure 1) that switches power sources with good efficiency and without switching noise. Figure 1.

How to supply electricity from two power sources?

When supplying electricity from two power sources, the simplest circuit is to connect the two power sources together. There is a condition, however, that users should only connect one of them, either USB or battery. When supplying from USB, you must remove the battery, and when supplying from the battery, you must remove the USB.

Does a portable equipment need a power source?

A similar version of this article appeared in the May 13, 2002 issue of Electronic Design magazine. Portable equipment that can operate from a battery pack or an external power source (such as a wall-adapter or external supply) needs to be able to smoothly switch between the two power sources.

What diode should I use for a USB power supply?

I decided to use a Schottky barrier diode for the USB power supply and an ideal diode for the battery power supply to configure the OR circuit. This enabled automatic power switching: power is supplied from the USB when the USB is connected, and power is supplied from the battery when the USB is disconnected.

Can esp32-devkitc be powered by a battery?

For the battery-powered ESP32-DevkitC, I would like to implement two power supply methods: USB and battery. When supplying electricity from two power sources, the simplest circuit is to connect the two power sources together. There is a condition, however, that users should only connect one of them, either USB or battery.

What are the components of a switching circuit?

In this switching circuit, the source of power supply to a load circuit is changed between the battery and DC power. The main components that play important roles in the functioning of this circuit are the relay, switching transistors, and zener diode. In this circuit,three relays are used.
