My power source is 9v for the entire circuit. As I undertand, the common way to prevent damages to a circuit would be to use a diode. Another method is a bridge rectifier However, I get voltage drops and lose power with a diode, and twice the loss of power with a bridge rectifier.
Taking to consideration for voltage drops with circuit protection, my question is if there is a possible way to make a reverse polarity protection without any loss of power at all? Or will there always be losses of power no matter what for this type of feature in any circuit?
