Re: Does the PD board Output 12v Stable?

Eric, aren't you talking about the special 12V connection for the gaming adapter? As I understand it, that supply is regulated such that it will supply 12V even when the battery voltage is lower. However, the general-purpose 12V outputs (the ones attached to the individual Snap-Action breakers) are completely unregulated and will be at whatever voltage the battery is at, right? Assuming I'm correct with my understanding, the answer to the original poster's question is that for the 12V supplies that you're allowed to use for custom circuits, the answer is no, they are unregulated and therefore will not work for anything that is picky about 12V.
