Hi TI,
by looking at the document: http://www.ti.com/lit/df/slvras1/slvras1.pdf I see a diode between Vdd and Vdd1 (named D4).
On the same page, on the remark below it can be seen: "For PoE Priority, populate D4 [...]". This seems to imply that for Adapter Priority we should not populate the design with this diode, and thus leaving an open between Vdd and Vdd1. Is this really correct?
In all other documents for the TPS23753, TI shows that a direct connection must be made between Vdd and Vdd1:

Can you confirm what should be done for a correct adapter priority circuit, regarding the connection between Vdd and Vdd1?
Thank you and best regards, Pedro
