Re: FS: Jibs Linear Drivers - 500mA, 1.3-1.6A, 1.8A
You can file a little bit, you have 16 mils before you hit copper ... But all I had to do for the one in the op was to file away the little left over bumps from the breakaway tabs.

Driver IC 7mA + Iout 877mA = 884mA.

Can these be setup like the flexdrives are where you short the (-) and case pin and not use the -v on the driver?

boost updates?
any cost estimates?
I know a guy who would probably be interested in bulk amounts of around 30-50 of them.

Re: FS: Jibs Linear Drivers - 500mA, 1.3-1.6A, 1.8A
First build attempt was fail. I have to recut my solder paste stencil, it was putting way too much paste for the ic's thermal pad. I tried to resolder it but I think it got damaged, because it took over 5v to get 1.8A on a 4v load ... That's not boosting anything. :/

Keep trying! LPF needs this.
If only I had the knowledge......
or wasn't too lazy to learn :crackup:

Well, re-doing the stencil helped tremendously. I dont have access to a bench PSU to test it until I go in to work on Monday.
Here it is:

^^^^^^^Looks great! :gj: I could use some of those....
On another note, I received my jib drivers today. I have a question. On one of the drivers, 2 components are soldered a little crooked, and the ends are touching. Is this a problem?
Just wanted to make sure before powering it up. :beer:

you could just desolder it and see if the pads connect...then resolder it straight.

The pads are separate on other drivers, but there could be a trace built in. I was planning on resoldering it, but I figured i'd ask the builder first.

Re: FS: Jibs Linear Drivers - 500mA, 1.3-1.6A, 1.8A
hi jib, i was just wondering. if i put more than 9v .. say 10.8v would it blow the driver? or just generate the un-needed volts to heat? thanks. this is for the 1.3a drvers

Why dont you just test load it? If it pops it pops

Cause a driver is more important than a hymen :crackup:

This is ok, since they are joined there anyways by the ground plane underneath, the solder paste flowed together because there was a little too much. I am now using a solder paste stencil and this no longer happens.
... see post# 469 >>here<<.
