    3.0 A. Ensure low resistance of power supply trace in design to avoid voltage drop. Never use a diode to make the drop voltage between a higher input and module power. Otherwise, Neoway will not provide a warranty for product issues caused by this. In this situation, the diode will obviously decrease the module performances, or result in unexpected restarts, due to the forward voltage of the diode will vary greatly in different temperature and current.
