Hi Bob,

The loads on the supply are greater than 200mA in each of the operating cases I described. My concern is not with output stability under load. Rather, I want the supply to really be off when I turn off its power switch. It apparently isn't, producing those unexpected pulses.

I was alerted to this problem when my computer kept displaying messages about a network connection being connected and disconnected periodically. The PIC MCU project I'm working on has a Lantronix XPort IP-to-serial interface unit on it, and the short bursts of power were causing it to wake up and respond over the network.

Thanks,
Gus
