Design fiction is an exciting new idea. I guess it's to be expected that a lot of people will try to attach to it with whatever. It's nice to get your thoughts on "all the rest of it". Thanks. p.s. Based on this post, I think you're going to like my book when it's finished. Maybe this year. Lots of pages. Nicely said. Design fiction is an exciting new idea.

I'm okay with digital circuit design, but the analog stuff was never my strength, so this really helps. So basically — yeah..if you wouldn't mind drawing the schematic, that'd be really helpful. I believe I'm following you — but it'd be nice to be sure! Seriously — your comment is super helpful.

Use the pull up you already have to turn the transistor "on" when the plug is disconnected. With the transistor "on" CE will be pulled low and the switcher will be shut down. When you plug in the connector will pull the gate (or base) low and shut the transistor off. With the transistor off a weak pullup on CE will cause it to go high again and turn the switcher on. Sorry if that isn't clear, if you still don't get what I mean, I'll take the time to draw a schematic when I'm at home and have a real mouse, its not complicated. BTW I hope you realize that when the switcher turns off the Vout goes to Vbatt not GND. Trace the DC path from the battery, through the inductor, through the diode to the output. If you have loads connected to this rail they may half power on and act strangely or continue to draw current and run down your battery. In this case we'd need at least two transistors to fix that. (...or we can use your circuit B) Just in case the tone of my first wasn't clear I'm really just trying to help out, I'm not trying to tell you how to build your circuit or anything. My "what happens" question was a sincere question. I really don't know, could be fine, could be really bad. I always get antsy when my system touches someone else's system. Anyhow, I just noticed that there could be problems with your setup you haven't considered and wanted to at least mention them in case they would save you some pain later on. Good Luck!
