What could be wrong?
@pranav, do you have 0 volts on the I/O?
Can you measure the voltage on the two 2 pins labeled GND and 5V by the status LED?
Do you have a flashing blue status LED when power is applied?
Do you have a flashing red LED on the Bluetooth module?
I have flashing blue status LED and flashing red LED on the bluetooth module... But the voltage across the two pins labeled 5v and GND is 0v, so the I/O pins are reading 0v... The voltage across the OUT and ADJ of LM1084 is 0v...
What shall I do?
@pranav
Your peripheral's regulator is broken, I believe Geoff has already replied to your email with the answer.
So I should replace the regulator... I would like to know about any replacement for LM 1084 as of now it is known that LM 317 cannot be used as it delivers only 1.5A.. So I am looking for any other replacement to LM 1084...
I found that LM338 is rated for 5A ... So can I use it as a replacement... Or if I had to construct an external circuit for it how shall I do it.. Kindly guide me through this...
The LM338 is still an adjustable regulator. The 1084 on the EZ-B is not. This means it can't be used as a drop-in replacement but you'll need to connect it through some wires and use resistors to set the output voltage to 5V.
I'm not an expert at adjustable regulators, I'm sure @Rich will reply to this thread with an answer
Unfortunately I'm still learning about regulators so it's all a bit beyond me but if it is adjustable and/or has a different pin out then some external circuit will be the way to go.
The data sheets I've seen for adjustable regulators often have good quality schematics which should explain the circuit that is required. In fact, page 7 of this data sheet has the schematic.
Thank you @Rich , I will construct an external circuit to the regulator... But I would like to know if we can neglect the Iadj term... If so, I can take the resistor values R2 = 3R1 for a 5v output...
