Can a portable equipment operate from a battery pack or external power source?

Portable equipment that can operate from a battery pack or an external power source (such as a wall-adapter or external supply) needs to be able to smoothly switch between the two power sources. This application note describes a circuit (Figure 1) that switches power sources with good efficiency and without switching noise. Figure 1.

Can I use a battery instead of a relay?

A relay will have some switching time with no power output. You could use a power supply with a higher voltage than the battery, both the battery and the power supply have their own diode feeding the Arduino. As long as the mains are good the higher voltage will block the current from the battery.

What is the difference between a relay and a switchover?

Switchover is instant as this is a hot standby connection. Unless both devices are tied to the power connection you will have a problem if the mains power fails. A relay will have some switching time with no power output.

How does a battery monitor work?

It monitors the wall supply and switches from battery power to the wall supply only when the wall supply is stable and has been at or above U1's trip voltage for a period of time. The battery will be back-driven (charged) during this delay period, which is typically 185mS.

Can I use a relay if the mains power fails?

Unless both devices are tied to the power connection you will have a problem if the mains power fails. A relay will have some switching time with no power output. You could use a power supply with a higher voltage than the battery, both the battery and the power supply have their own diode feeding the Arduino.

Can I use a power supply with a higher voltage?

You could use a power supply with a higher voltage than the battery, both the battery and the power supply have their own diode feeding the Arduino. As long as the mains are good the higher voltage will block the current from the battery. When the mains fail the battery will have a higher voltage and provide power through its diode.
