Title: 78l05
Post by: brujo on September 18, 2021, 01:44:28 PM
Hi there, I build this crap-fi delay (pt2399) but I'm getting only 1,5v on 78l05 output,any suggestions?

I will try It,thank you
Cheeers

The delay Is After a ne555 oscillator,and they share 9v . Let's are

Sorry to be a contrarian, but the orientation for the 78l05 shown on the layout is correct. If it was a full 7805, not the TO92 version used here, you would have to rotate it.

You could measure the current going into the board.  (To measure current you need to wire the meter in series with the power.  Once you make the measurement set the meter and probe positions back to volts straight away.)

No-one said the layout was wrong, only that if you're getting 1.2V out of it, putting it in the other way around is a likely solution since it's probably back-to-front.

I've made this stupid mistake enough times to know by now, but it still happens.;)

If the PT2399 is socketed, you could test it with the chip taken out. It's good practice to check power voltages first before putting chips in, in general. Another potential cause is something dragging the output down, like a bad 2399, or a short.

Actually a "short" in the form of 32/10 voltage divider.. :icon_wink:

what voltage do you have on pin 2 of PT?

Quotewhat voltage do you have on pin 2 of PT?
It's a marker pen dot over a PCB hole identifying a PCB cuts.   Looks a bit odd in the pic I think it's light blue.
So no pin 2 Ref cap.

it was a bad 78l05,probably connected with reversed polarity?!
this is voltages on pt2399
1=5v
2=2.5v
3=0v
4=0v
5=3.45v
6=2.5v
7=0.65v
8=0.65
9=2.5v
10=2.5v
11=2.5v
12=2.5v
13=1.3v
14=2.8v
15=2.5v
16=2.5v
