Hi guys,
I've managed to solder the high current part of the circuit on the stripboard so that I could run it on high current (up to 3.6A DC at o/p).
The rest of the circuit was still made on breadboard because the current rating is not high (in mA range) (see attached). Did a high current test and was happy that it is successful. However I've seen that the o/p voltage has spikes which is rather high (see attached).
I thought I've already included a smoothing capacitor which is the 150uF capacitor (see orginal circuit in previous post), could anyone advise why there is still spikes going on?
Should I add in a RC snubber to suppress these transients?
Thank you.
