Verify the component ratings to ensure they meet the required voltage and current. Step 2: Check the Circuit Connections Ensure the feedback loop is properly wired, with the correct resistor values and no broken connections. Double-check your connections to the timing capacitor and resistors. Step 3: Measure the Switching Frequency Using an oscilloscope, measure the switching waveform. Ensure that the frequency matches the value indicated in the datasheet. If the frequency is incorrect, replace the timing capacitor or adjust the resistor values. Step 4: Inspect for Overheating Check the temperature of the MC34063ADR during operation. If it's getting too hot, consider adding heat sinking or improving airflow around the IC. Reduce input voltage or output load if the IC is operating near its thermal limits. Step 5: Optimize PCB Layout Review your PCB layout to ensure the feedback loop is tightly coupled with short, direct traces. Implement a solid ground plane to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the output delay in your MC34063ADR-based power supply and implement the necessary fixes. The key areas to focus on are correct component values, proper circuit connections, thermal management, and optimizing the PCB layout to minimize interference.
