...I'm not sure how you drew this conclusion. I clearly stated that this is battery powered and there is a series diode with very little current, and the voltage the diode would drop over the diode is 0.3V, meaning the diode will be nearly non-conducting. Maybe I didn't explain the problem...

True. The stuff we were discussing is well defined by the C++ standard, which every major compiler implements correctly, so there should be no problem.

You're missing the entire point of what I'm trying to say. Of course removing const from my example causes it to fail. In your first post you said: I was proving this statement false by demonstrating a program where the overloads sum(int,int) and sum(int&,int&) can be resolved unambiguously...

You linked the exact device I said I was using in my first post :smile:

If what you say were true, why does my code compile on VS2015? Why am I able to disambiguate the supposed "identical" functions? The reason is because foo(int,int) and foo(int&,int&) are distinct types. Here is the relevant section from the current C++ ISO standard (section 16.1 Overloadable...

This is not correct. The first and third functions have differing signatures, namely sum(int,int) and sum(int&,int&). See, for instance, the following program demonstrating how to call foo(int,int) without ambiguity: The reason this works is because foo(int&,int&) cannot discard const...

I am not sure where you are getting this from. The ESR typically decreases with increasing capacitance[1][2]. The reason for choosing different types of capacitors on the output is to better respond to rapid current transients and thus maintain a stable voltage. With that said, you are still...

I'm designing a device that consumes 450nA in idle (up to 2mA peak) and the maximum allowed voltage is 3.3V. The power is supplied by a battery with a voltage of 3.6V. One of the problems I've run into is: All LDOs I could find have a quiescent current consumption (Iq) greater than 450nA. The...

Hi all! By day I work on my bachelor thesis in my final electronic engineering semester. It involves the design, implementation and verification of a low power ultrasonic based flowmeter using a new SoC. I am most excited about being able to use a sigma-delta modulator based ADC, because these...
