Hi all! Hope you are feel good.
Many examples connect net "+5V" from micro USB conector directly to +5V power net, or through the power switch ic (TPS2553 for example).
And, what if main PCB power supply (for example +12V) will turned off? Current from USB connector (I suppose, 1A maximum) will power up whole PCB?
Ok, but what if +5V stepdown converter will powered up from output to input? What if +5V current will flow to +12V net? There are some other loads (much more than 1A), with UVLO less than +5V. Probably I even will see more than +5V on +12V net, cause of inductor in +5V stepdown converter, and dynamic load on +12V net during startup.
So, I want to understand: How can I protect OTG power net?
I want to use OTG for software updating, and for testing.
