Hey all, I'm trying to make a board that takes power from a 7.8V niMh battery and regulates it to 5V to power a beagle board. The issue is that the Vreg doesn't appear to be doing anything. I'm measuring 8V on input and output pins. I ordered two of them and I tested the other one with a 12V supply and I see the same thing.
When I test another regulator it behaves as I expect it. For my tests I'm just wiring Input and Ground to a 12V battery and probing the output pin. Using this setup the old regulator is giving 5V out and the new one I'm trying to use is giving 12.[...]Any ideas what might be wrong other than a defective Reg?
Just to wrap this us, it looks like the issue was in fact that there was load.
