Power System Design Overview


I want to design a power system that takes input from a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, or USB, with automatic power selection. The system should provide regulated 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8V outputs.
Project Requirements:
  • Inputs:
    • Solar Panel (6V, 2W)
    • USB Power Input (5V)
    • Li-Ion Battery (3.7V, 2000mAh)
  • Power Management:
    • Battery Charger IC (MCP73831 – Charges battery from solar or USB)
    • Power Selection Circuit (Automatically switches between power sources)
  • Voltage Regulation:
    • Boost Converter (MT3608 – Steps battery voltage up to 5V)
    • Buck Converters:
      • 3.3V Regulator (AP7333-33)
      • 1.8V Regulator (AP7333-18)
  • Protection Components:
    • Schottky Diodes (Prevent reverse current)
    • Capacitors (For power stability)
  • Indicators & Outputs:
    • LED Indicators (Charging & Power status)
    • Regulated Outputs: 5V, 3.3V, 1.8V
Can you generate a block diagram showing how these components connect?
Below is the block diagram represented as a Mermaid flowchart:
