I have dealt with DOA and fake chips in the past but that was a long time ago, now I only buy from Digikey or Mouser. Nowhere else :-+ |

Some general suggestions and thoughts: * Label your schematic with your intentions. Should it be a 5V rail? What's the current limited to? How did you calculate a value? * Consider prototyping a sub circuit before the whole thing. It seems like you may have done that * Things tend to get hot when they oscillate. Also, it seems like you might be over driving the FB on on your schematic. * you can solder less breadboard most converters with care. Pay extra attention to the current sense lines going to the regulator. These are very noise sensitive. * What is the 3632 doing? What is the 3092 doing? Limiting current to the set pins? * the diode on the 3081 is odd. As is the r13, r23, and r24 network. What is the goal? * the lt 308x regulators don't always like capacitance on their set pins. Check the datasheet. |
