Hello, this is one of my first posts so hopefully this makes it to the right section and group.
ive been developing a transmitter that runs from a 3.7v lipo battery. to do this I used a boost IC breakout from spark fun: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10255 . This has worked very well and now I've made my own PCB that integrates the design with the updated schemaric I've attached.
Many problem is that when populated with components it outputs 6.8V, not the 3.3V that i expected. anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I've checked the data sheets but I can't tell why it is doing this. I hand soldered these, would it be possible that i may have damage the chip during assembly?
I couldn't find this chip in a more solder ready package, does anyone else have experience with a voltage regulator that works well with 3.7V in to 3.3V out? Not much overhead.
