I, for one, still look at 'switching' power supply design as a black art, such that I'm not comfortable trusting something I design even though it works and I mostly understand it. So if you have or can design a solution almost effortlessly then it sounds like you'd have an eager audience here. I know I would love a very cheap, poorly regulated, isolated 5v-5v ps. Especially if the same general design can scale from 5mA to 500mA with minor changes or component choices. -Adam -- = http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
