- Updated simulation schematic to better reflect the hardware implementation
- Made a table of the different states the power selector can take, along with the expected output
- ***Depending on the design of the buck converter, the output impedance when it is not receiving power can be so high it is basically an open circuit or "low"
- Either way, you don't want to develop a potential at the output terminal if it is disconnected from it's own power source
- Will make a separate file for each state instead of trying to simulate them in the same transient simulation
