A power routing circuit having first and second input nodes VIN1, VIN2 for connection to first and second power supplies and output node VOUT1 for load connection; and includes a first main switching circuit connected between the first input node VIN1 and output node VOUT1 and conductively connects the first input node VIN1 to the output node VOUT1 if a voltage at the first input node VIN1 is higher than a voltage at the output node VOUT1, and a first auxiliary switching circuit connected between the second input node VIN2 and output node VOUT1 and conductively connects the second input node VIN2 to output node VOUT1 if a voltage at the second input node VIN2 is higher than the voltage at the output node VOUT1 and the voltage at the first input node VIN1 is at least a threshold amount lower than the voltage at the second input node VIN2.
A power routing circuit having first and second input nodes VIN1, VIN2 for connection to respective first and second power supplies and an output node VOUT1 for connection to a load, the power routing circuit comprising:
A method of routing power between first and second input nodes VIN1, VIN2 for connection to respective first and second power supplies and an output node VOUT1 for connection to a load, the method comprising:
