| Issue | Common Symptom | Remedy | |-------|----------------|--------| | | Output voltage sags under load, audible “buzz” from the regulator | Add a low‑ESR electrolytic (≥ 100 µF) right at the VIN pin, plus a 0.1 µF ceramic parallel. | | Excessive ripple on VOUT | Measured ripple > 50 mV (peak‑to‑peak) at 1 A load | Increase C2 to 47 µF or add a second parallel capacitor; keep leads short. | | Thermal shutdown | Regulator cycles on/off after a few seconds of heavy load | Provide a copper heat‑sink under the IC; consider adding a small fan or reducing the load. | | Incorrect polarity on D1 | Regulator never starts, LED stays off | Verify diode orientation: cathode (stripe) toward VOUT. | | Enable pin floating | Regulator spontaneously shuts down | Pull EN high with a 10 kΩ resistor (or connect directly to VIN). |
