At first we were working on a project about a portable stereo speaker but we had no good battery appropriate to our circuit. So, based on the LT1302 documentation, we designed this 2xAA power circuit to get 12V for the amplifiers.

This 12V power supply is based on the LT1302. It should be capable to power some Portable Stereo Speakers we are working on. With a theoretical 120mA output, it can power many things else.

    For my first try, the output was about 30V! Far more than the attended 12V.

    It appears that I am not using a LT1302 but a LT1302-5 for which some R4 and R5 are internally mounted. So, if you are using a LT1302-5 too, remove R4 and use a 570k resistor for R5.

    (There is an intern 315k resistor so 315k + 570k ≈ 866k.)
