Optional Components - USB/Externally Powered Switch Over Circuit
Part Package Power Qty Unit Cost Total Cost
Si9430DY SO-8 5.8A, R(on) = 0.09@-4.5Vgs 1 (omittable) $1.69 $1.69
P-Channel MOSFET for bus powered/self powered automatic switch-over circuit. This part can be omitted if you are going to run the board only off of an external power supply. The USB port is only specified to supply 500mA of current, so if your external circuitry is going to exceed this limit, you will need to stay off of bus power anyway.

Optional Components - Protection Circuitry
Part Package Power Qty Unit Cost Total Cost
SR102/SB120 Diodes DO-41 20V Max, 1A, 0.57V drop 2 (omittable) $0.49 $0.98
Diodes for protecting against reverse polarity power. You may omit one diode if you aren't going to use the USB power switch over circuit. You may substitute a plain wire for the second diode if you are omitting the USB power switch over circuit and you aren't going to plug the power in backwards on the DC jack (which is hard to do after you get it wired up correctly the first time).

Warning: If you are going to use the USB powered feature, both diodes must be installed to properly protect your computer's USB port.
Suppliers: RadioShack 900-3180
USB6B1RL SO-8 - 1 (omittable) $1.00 $1.00
USB port transient suppressor - keep your Cypress chip from dying when the USB port is hit with static electricity.
If you can't get ahold of one, this part can be omitted by simply soldering in jumper wires across the pads left to right (e.g. pin 1 to pin 8, pin 2 to pin 7, etc). Of course, then your Cypress chip is left unprotected, but you're a careful person anyway, right?
