Tom's only a young fella and soaking up all the guidance we can give him and for a first PCB a 317 is a good choice and almost a 'right of passage' like making your first project a homemade PSU. Power and control devices, power paths, headers, mounting holes, different component lead hole sizes. All things we take for granted once we've do a PCB or two. Just a few months back Tom didn't even have a DMM and wanted a broken one to fix......well until someone sent him a nice blue Brymen. Tom's on the right path now; learn to walk before you learn to run. :clap: |

Yeah no argument there, my comment was largely directed toward the person who said they needed one for a project. |

According to my data sheet, you are right. I wonder how that discrepancy sneaked in. I also wonder if it makes any difference where C2 discharges to. |
