Maxim\'s 1674 IC as a LED driver...
http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/arpdf/MAX1674-MAX1676.pdf
wanted to start a new thread about this chip because i'ld rather not clutter up the other threads...
i think it'ld be nice to compare this with the zetex and 757 offerings to see if one stood out as the best amoungst them...
this looks like a promising chip with a low outboard component count and small size for driving an LS or several 5mm LEDs...
i have a couple samples of this chip and i'ld like to put them to some use, i just wanted to get some input before i do my next digikey order...if i put this together it would only be my second cicruit building attempt, so i'm not a guru or anything...
question...
am i correct in thinking that for a minimum set-up this circuit needs a .1uF reference cap, an output cap (Kemet's tants) and a coil?...if so, very nice...
