The Linear Technology step up voltage converter is supposed to be able to do 600mA, it is the AA cells that seem to have a problem with supplying 500mA. They get a little toasty :-). The one I built to use D cells doesn't seem to have any issues with supplying 500mA. -stacy _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
