This compact Adafruit breakout helps manage two power inputs in a small project, such as a battery, USB supply or DC wall adaptor. It uses the LM66200 dual ideal diode IC to select the higher of two inputs while helping prevent back-powering.

Connect your two 2–5V supplies to Vin1 and Vin2, and the selected supply appears on Vout. You can disable the output by pulling the On/Enable pin high, and use the Status pin to check whether Vin1 or Vin2 is currently selected.

For easy prototyping, the board has 6 x 0.1" breakout pads and includes a bit of header. The chip and a 1 Megaohm enable-pulldown are already fitted; light soldering is required to attach the header, or you can wire it directly into your circuit.

Specifications:

  • Product information: LM66200 Product information page
  • Input voltage range: 1.6 V to 5.5 V
  • Maximum continuous current: 2.5 A
  • On-resistance: 40 mΩ (typical)
  • Standby current: 50 nA (typical)
  • Quiescent current: 1.32 μA (typical)
  • Automatic diode switchover: Automatic diode switchover
  • Controlled output slew rate: 1.3 ms (typical) at 3.3 V
  • Reverse current blocking: Reverse current blocking when VOUT > VINx
  • Thermal shutdown: Thermal shutdown
  • Product Dimensions: 16.5mm x 10.0mm x 2.2mm / 0.6" x 0.4" x 0.1"
  • Product Weight: 0.5g / 0.0oz

A handy power-path building block for battery-backed gadgets, USB-powered prototypes and compact circuits that need low-drop dual-supply switchover.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

5G
5G is the fifth-generation mobile network standard, offering higher-speed, lower-latency wireless data than earlier 4G/LTE networks. 5G modems can move large amounts of data over cellular networks but may draw significant current and need a suitable aerial and reliable power.
breakout
A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
DC
DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
Ideal diode
An ideal diode circuit lets current flow one way like a normal diode, but with much less voltage loss. This matters in power-selection or backup-power projects because less voltage is wasted as heat and more reaches your device.
