So this is a somewhat general circuits question that has been bugging me for a while now!
I am trying to design a circuit that will power both a microcontroller and a dc motor which will be enabled/disabled via the microchip. I can use 5 volts for both the chip and the motor, but i am concerned about the current supply.
I obviously need a power supply that can source enough current for both the motor and the chip at the same time, but what happens when i am not using the motor (which is most of the time) wont the excess current fry the chip?
Thanks in advance!
