Dewd! You are Awesome! Thanks! -- Lawrence Lile Roman Black Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list 08/27/02 08:52 PM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: Re: [EE]: Crowbar protection Hi Lawrence, there is a design for 2-transistor switcher regulator here: http://www.romanblack.com/smps.htm This is a REALLY cheap regulator, and can use a cheaper inductor than the ones usually specified for "proper" switcher chips. Total costing I did for 500 Q was about $0.35 USD for the entire regulator, transistors, inductor, caps, everything. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
