RE the list on using a MOSFET for reverse polarity protection......
Should work fine for single power source--I used
the circuit and it works really great--low low voltage drop with the
right part.
QUESTION: has anyone manage a clever way to do this with MULTIPLE power
sources?? The FET itself will pass current in either direction when it
is on. I need to run redundant, but isolated power sources into a data
logger--a couple of internal batteries, external batteries, and a
wall-cube power supply in a "highest voltage rules" configuration without
any power being forced into the lower voltage sources.
QUESTION 2: How about leakage when off? Anyone have any real-world
measurements?
