Re: voltage drop at power source -what is happening?



Its an audio modulator. It uses 2x quad opamps (TL074) and some LED/CDs
pairs to modify the sound.

Interestingly enough when I pull the chips I read a nice 9V at the plug.
Putting in one chip drops the voltage to 3.7V. Bad chip? They aren't
getting warm when the circuit is running.

Im using a 9V source that comes from a 7809 and should be able to put out
500mA.
