apologies for the naive question
is it acceptable practice to take a spur output from a regulated circuit, as in the diagram below. I wanted to know if taking 11 to 12v from the rail before it goes into the regulator might upset the regulators output.
the tx is 9v and the whole load will be no more than 50ma inclusive

I do it without any problem. Only problem would be if you pull enough current to drop the voltage below the point the regulator can regulate.
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

that's just exactly what I was hoping you were going to sayNick wrote:I do it without any problem. Only problem would be if you pull enough current to drop the voltage below the point the regulator can regulate.

snigger, I'll just blame the in-laws then, they brought me a big bottle of moonshine, fresh from the garden still........
it takes no prisoners....
thanks Brian, not exactly sure what that circuit would produce

I can just picture you on all fours feeling for your contact lenses which won't do you any good if you find them because the moonshine has made you half way closer to total blindness.
