## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE08453:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE08453:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

**Power USB-C devices from two USB-C power sources!**

**Where does power go?** Power from each USB-C input (A/B) connector goes via a MOSFET "Ideal Diode" to the USB-C output connector.

**What about back powering?** The ideal diode prevents power from being fed back into either USB-C port (A/B power supply).

**Which power supply is used?** It will draw power from the supply with the highest voltage and if the voltages equalize (due to the current draw) it will share the load on the power supplies connected to both USB-C connectors (droop method).

**Where does data go?** USB 2.0 **data** from the USB-C port (A) is connected to the **output** USB-C connector.

**Usage Examples**

- Create a redundant power supply for a Raspberry Pi (using any mix of mains/battery USB supplies).
- Load share with multiple supplies with a similar specification (droop method).
- Keep your Pi (or other USB powered devices) running whilst switching between power supplies.

**Please Note**

- **This module is fixed to 5V** - the PCB has 5.1k UFP Rd pull-down resistors on the CC pins of the inputs (5V@3A) and 10k UFP Rp pull-up resistors on the outputs CC pins (5V@3A)
- PCB and LED colour may vary.
