Normal power mode while retaining the L4 coil

Hi!

We're developing a board where we would like to switch between normal power mode (VDD shorted with VDDH) and high power mode (VDDH as input and VDD in highZ or supplying output current) by soldering zero resistors and switching power supplies.

This means that we wish to leave the L4 coil connected between DCCH and VDD will remain connected to them even when VDD in connected to VDDH in normal power mode.

This goes against your suggested schematics where you do not add the L4 coil between DCCH and VDD when in normal power mode.

What effect will this have on working in both power modes?

Thanks!
