Okay, so I've searched thru all the threads I could find about the AMC7135 chips on the forums, and google, and tho I've seen alot of mentions of people running these off two Li-Ions, with a total Vin 2.4V higher than 'recommended' max voltage, and 1.4V over absolute maximum input voltage.
From what I can gather, a few people have sucessfully done so with adequate heatsinking, but nobody has ever come back with definite results, run times, etc...
I want to know exactly what the limits of these things are, and am planning on torturing one...unless someone allready has the answers.
Basically I want to know if these cheap round chinese linears can be used at all with the 445s...either unmodified, or with diodes to drop somewhere around 1V down to the mid 7s? These would hypothetically be heatsinked properly.
