i've managed to get a working step-down going based on the maxim 1627 (MAX1626-7). for the coil and the output cap i've used the same zetex components (150uF tant cap and the bigger core with 22 guage wire and 2.5 turns). my question is, whenever i have more than minimum output (under 2.8V) it jitters pretty bad. i've skipped a couple of components like the R3 cap and the input cap, perhaps this is causing it? or perhaps i need a coil with more turns or a larger output cap? any ideas? thanks.
wow. according to my calculations i'm getting a whopping 30% efficiencey as well. arg...
