Hi Expert,
VIN1 is 4.75~5.25V, VIN2 is 4.75~5.25V. There are independent power source. Can I use the below circuit? Thanks!

Hi Jerry,
What is the purpose of this circuit? If my understanding is correct, then this looks like a latch up configuration. Behavior would be below:
1. ON1 is asserted high.
2. Power Source 1 passes to VOUT.
3. ON2 goes high because of VOUT going high.
4. Power Source 2 passes to VOUT.
5. If ON1 goes low, VIN 1 will turn off and VIN 2 will stay on.
The issue I see here is that the device does not have reverse current blocking. If Power Source 1 is greater than Power Source 2, then reverse current will flow from one supply into another. Is this a concern?
Thanks,
Alek Kaknevicius
