    MC34063 Buck Boost

    Hi I have trying to make a power supply to give me outputs
    Say +10 volts & -10volts from 12 volts.
    I have some MC34063 ICs so am using them ,but the circuits do not work ?
    Even the one on the application notes from thr MFR
    The osc. is working I can see that on my scope ,but the output say pin1 is wrong to me .?

    Dead IC? Misconnected IC?

    Have a photograph of your setup?

      there are chinese modules that will give you +-12v from a single supply - people use them to drive audio pre-amps.
      you could use that followed by LDO linear regulators to get it rock stable - or just mod one for +-10v

      if you make your own, remember it's high frequency.
      schottky diodes only and low esr caps or it will fail

        Look for "1W DC-DC" and you can find the smaller SIP modules. There are bigger 2-3W ones as well. They are not regulated and have a min/max load. Mornsun seems to be the low cost ones, B1212S 10.8V-13.2V in, and 8% variation with the 12V output.
        There are dual +/-12V or +/-15V modules too.
        It's just much less hassle in a project to use these instead of making one.

          I found the MC34063 fairly easy to use ... though as said, part selection is critical.
          I had a small variable 1A PSU based on the MC34063 but eventually took it apart as the components I had on hand could not regulate across the whole band I wanted.

          I eventually repurposed it to a 5A converter to reduce the voltage of my solar panel, seems to work okay... used an external 2n3055 + PNP as complementary darlington pair as the switch. Not a very good switch, but works good enough.

            Reolink RLC-410-5MP - buck convertor
            by jm1234
            Hi,
            it's a PoE camera and it stopped working. Using thermal image I identified failing component U22 marked as 16AF which seems to be buck convertor TI https://www.alldatasheet.net/datashe...62569DBVR.html. I took it out and It is inteed shorted on the output. However, after I took it out, the resistance between the output pads (on the board) still shows 190ohm, is that bit low?
            Another issue is, seems to me I must be missing one of the tiny resistors R810 that should make up the voltage devider for the buck convertor. Honestly I did this months ago, I cannot...
