Hi
This is a really basic question I suspect. I have search for the answer and not found an answer, perhaps I am asking the wrong question or terminology.
I have two 5V devices on a power rail, one (LED strip) draw much more current and the other (embedded controller).
When the LED strip turns on the current draw is much higher and voltage drops significantly and or course the digital controller stops working as the voltage drops well below the 5V.
So how do I combat this? I can up the voltage on the power supply, but can't go too far as under no load it will have too high voltage. Both devices are absolutely 6v max. One idea I had was local regulate on both devices with common ground and just have higher PS voltage?
Thanks for any suggestion.
Regards
Daniel
Grounds of both devices need to be tied together. I am planing on running on battery of some type, but current are powering from a bench supply.
