Is it showing about the same waveforms as your previous working version? Try looking for subharmonic operation... layout changes can cause this for no obvious reason sometimes. Also, are you *sure* your inductor really is what you think it is? Do you have a means to measure its value, or to observe the waveform of the current passing through it? -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
