In a message dated 22/12/97 22:17:44, you write: << Up to a point, the larger the load on the 5V line, the better the 12V output will work. If your application needs primarily 12V, and very little or no 5V, it's possible to modify the supply so it regulates via the 12V output. This is rather advanced though. >> Now come on the regulation in a PC power supply is nearly always controled with a TL431 programable zener its simply a matter of tracing the resistor from the control pin to +5v read its value and scale it to 12v (the pin needs 2.5v) Let ohms law apply.......... Componants required 1 0.25w Resistor cost approaching nil. Cheers Steve............... Merry kristmooose (oops beer again)
