Hi Gordon,

I have a couple of PIC-based circuits for driving clock solenoids
which also have moments of high current demand. To save costs
I use just a small transformer to charge capacitors from which the
current dump comes. The recharging of those capacitors depresses
the PSU for a short time, well below the PIC's minimum Vcc

I tried a resistor + reservoir cap to isolate the PIC from the current
demand but it wasn't enough. The attached circuit using steering
diodes works for my application
