Basically I have one AC-DC module and one DC-DC module, and I have to power a PIC24+ENC+ some leds & 1 LCD and some sensors, it all @3.3V I need this to be a "full-OR" i.e. the circuit should work when any of them is available. I thought as the very easy method of the Diodes, i.e. use 5V modules, place 2 diodes in series per each branch, and obtain 3.6V. I know it's not "clean" but I would not want to add other (complex) circuitry)... Any suggestions appreciated!
