Thank you for schematic Melanie ! You were right, I posted this question some months ago. You didn't understand my setup here. So, once again,
I have two devices ( not pics ). A master device, and a slave device that get power from the slave (5v, 3-400 mA ). Now, I want to put a PIC in the slave device which should send to the pic I put in the master device a few bytes ( 1200 baud ). The problem is the power consumption of the slave ( 4-500mA). And I can not use too big caps like ... 4700u@25v. I can not test the schematic right now, but I got the ideea. But do you thing it will work in the context I explained you ? The power on that slave device ( and the transmitting pic also ) should be kept as close as it can to 5V. Thank you .
