Grrrrrr!! Can anyone suggest a good LDO reg that is not the size of a grain of rice!!
 Grrr..I have been trying to construct little cap/reg Assemblies using reg113s the size of grains of rice  .At first I thought, yeah this will be fine..just bend the legs a little and presto!  ....but oooh no..Snap! one gone.Try again ...Snap another gone... .OK I am sure I can fit these without bending . Success!! Made 4 . Fifth one measures well under voltage. I am now worried all the devices have had their performance degraded in sneaky unseen ways  .Sot Package not used in intended way = .Feeling gloomy now..all the fun of diy sucked out.... want to throw all the components away and take up something nice  .I think it is time for  Setmenu

Hi 5th element
I hope your sanity was not tested tooo far .What is a PCM2902?..not to expensive I hope  I have managed to cobble together enough reg units for my needs, but being so small and sensitive to heat ,i am now paranoid about them.[dunno whether to use them now] I have been looking at some bigger alternative ldo regs in the form of LT1963s , seem nice and BIG.. Of course in the good ol UK finding them [in less than 5000 quantities] should be fun  OH why OH why, does nobody stock the bits....... Still I have had me and feel a bit better now .Have a good weekend. Setmenu |
