Two batteries, one for each section. or Switched Mode Power Supply with isolated secondary windings or if you have circuitry common to both inputs, either use linearised opto-isolators or chop the input signals at high frequency and transfer to the common circuitry using transformers No.... the answer cannot be that simple either I am missing something or you haven't stated the complete scenario Regards Chris Carr > I'm using a circuit that has 2 section powered from a battery.
