CAT6219 https://www.led-professional.com/products/led-driver-ics-modules/catalyst-semiconductor-launches-500ma-low-dropout-ldo-regulator#:~:text=An%20alternative%20to%20Micrel's%20MIC5219,ideal%20for%20low%20noise%20applications.

MIC5319 -- can do 500mA max, 150uA sleep current https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technology/MIC5319-3-0YD5-TR/9642879

Top 3 contenders:

S-1155B33-U5T1U -- 500mA max output, 1uA sleep current https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ablic-u-s-a-inc/S-1155B33-U5T1U/6601512

the AP2112K that Adafruit uses -- 600mA output, 80uA quiescent current, 250mV dropout at 600mA https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/diodes-incorporated/AP2112K-3-3TRG1/4470746

RT9080-33GJS -- wow, 600mA max output, 4uA quiescent current, 530mV dropout at 600mA https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/richtek-usa-inc/RT9080-33GJ5/6161634

hmm -- AP2112K seems to be the winner

Nice thread on putting diode into VUSB on feather -- https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=706250

Looks like max current for Rockblock is approx 470 mA -- so the AP2112K might be the right answer

todo:

maximum device count on bus: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_OneWire/issues/16

notes:

going to try a p-mosfet ideal diode circuit and bring 3V independently to the feather board. basically, replicate adafruit's setup, but the action of the mosfet is to bring EN to ground when V_EXT battery is plugged in (V_EXT is connected to gate of fet; fet connects EN to ground).

independently: an N-fet is required to turn an external sensor (ultrasonic) on/off -- by disconnecting ground (low side). can double check this by looking at feather s2 circuit. 'cut the ground lead using an n-fet'

Testing depth sensor current consumption

Note -- seems that 3.3V input to VBUS isn't sufficient to power the battery monitor on the esp32-s2?
