This is my first post on this forum. I have had several successful circuits with other regulator types, but with the ZLDO1117 I had it fail letting 8 volts through to a picaxe 20x2. This naturally caused the 20x2 to fail. It was far from overloaded, rated for 1 amp and only supplying power for the 20x2 and an ACS714 current sensor. (circuit in question is a battery charger) Im wondering if anyone has used this regulator type and had this problem, and if using capacitors would prevent the problem.
