I wasn't getting at you at all John :) The MAX1771 is a subtle beast and quick to anger - if you recall I had a look at your setup and couldn't see what was causing it to misbehave... it took me about 6 goes (and discussions with Maxim) before my attempts got to the final stage.
The 1771 is a bit of a Ferrari and my design is aimed at optimum performance, not cost-effectiveness - generally, if you stick exactly to what's on the page, it'll work every time, but moving it onto another board etc. can sometimes be problematic... Your brilliant, left-field, designs more than make up for that ! Cheers Nick On Wednesday, 18 May 2016 21:20:48 UTC+1, Nixcited delighted wrote: > > That'll be me ignoring your guidelines then Nick.
