Title: Road Rage Question
Post by: billstein on May 14, 2013, 05:09:08 AM
Hey guys. Just finished two Porkbarrels (One for my wife and one for me). I used MN3007's and want to try 15v. I want to make sure I order the right parts for the Road Rage. I noticed there are many options for charge pumps and voltage regulators. What would you suggest?

Thank you

For the charge pump, you can use the TC1044SCPA, ICL7660SCPA or MAX1044CPA.

For the diodes, you can use either 1N4001 or a 11v Zener for D3, and I suggest 1N5817 for D1 and D2. The regulator should be LM7815. You could probably get away with a LM78L15 if that's all you had. The difference is in current output with the LM78L15 being about 100mA max and the 7815 being about 1A. The Road Rage is designed for the latter, but both will work.

Would this work on the Road Rage?

Yes it would, used it to test a Porkbarrel I'm working on...
