Is reverse polarity protection this simple?

I have decided to use a mosfet with the resistor and diode as it allows me to use a much more efficient mosfet and the cost difference is really negligible. Thanks everyone. …

Is reverse polarity protection this simple?

I want to check because it seems most example circuits use the diode and resistor so I am worried I'm missing something that makes the MOSFET-only version impractical for most uses. …

Can I use an external MOSFET to dim this high-power LED driver?

I want to use the PAM2861 LED driver. It can handle my intended load (1 A and two LEDs around 3 V per channel) and I know this because someone with a similar project used it. It's also available at JL …
