Hello, I found an LM1086 inside something, could I use it instead of an LM317 inside a ddl driver? I'm trying to make a driver for my first build, a PHR-805 deal. Would it work instead of an LM317?
It should be adjustable version of the LM1086 "ADJ" Then yes you can use that , U just need to put one extra capacitor so you have them on both input and output, Rest is all the same as you do the lm317.
I looked up the datasheet but I'm not sure what to make of it, and a search of it's use in a ddl here turned up one mention of sinner using it.
So basically I'm supposed to have a 10 uF capacitor before the LM1086 too?
