SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INPUT POWER DETECTION OF TWO POWER SOURCES USING SINGLE MONITORING CIRCUIT

A voltage supply system that includes a first power supply branch and a second power supply branch. Both branches includes a voltage supply; a serially connected diode and switch connected between the voltage supply and an output of the voltage supply system; and a gate driver connected to the first switch to control operation of the switch. The system also includes a voltage monitor/controller configured to perform a built-in test of the system by controlling the state of the first and second switches by controlling enable signals provided to the first and second gate drivers.
