Hello,
Thanks for your response.
But even after removing the boost circuit, the same thing happens. However, on particular occasions, it played fine:
Basically this is my setup :
I am not soldering anything here, Just using alligator clip wires (end to end alligator clips) to connect them. Lithium cell to protection circuit, protection circuit to boost circuit, and then to multimeter (for current measurement), multimeter to MP3 decoder board and finally to speaker. Here, after the lithium cell protection circuit, all components are connected by alligator clip wires.
1. The above circuit is fine for low volume, however for moderate to high volume, the music stops (with a trrr sound from speaker and the module resets) - this just precisely loops.
2. If I remove boost circuit from the above, the behavior is the same.
3. After removing boost circuit, if I connect another 8 ohm speaker in series, it works fine for high volume
4. If I add boost circuit with two speakers in series, again the same behavior - music stops with speaker chatter and module resets.
5. If i shorten the wires, - remove the multimeter inbetween, then it works fine with boost circuit.
So, from the above experiments, I came to a conclusion that the alligator clip wires are some how causing the problem. So, I measured their resistance - it was surprisingly high (0.8 to 0.9 ohms). So, shortening the wires proved to be useful. Do any one has any other insight into this topic?
Thanks.
