Changed the title of the thread from "Ckt" to "circuit" so that the thread is searchable.  It is sad to see people do not have about 1.5 seconds extra to put in 4 extra keystrokes.

More importantly, what is this thread about ?  Put some description in the original post so that the rest of the audience can also understand what is going on.  If it is the continuation of some discussion, it should have been posted in that thread.

Admin: could you please change the topic name to --> Regulator IC heating issue in FlySky 6ch TX

Hello Kalyan,

I saw you helping Gbisht to repair his charger on this forum. I am facing a problem with my FLYSKY 6CH TX. Issue is it works for 3-4 min ok but then behaves erratic, I lost 2 self made models due to this, initially since i did not know how to fly so though its my mistake but when it was repetitive I opened the TX and saw SMD 78L05 IC when Tx is ON this IC is getting hot and my assumption is that the thermal cutoff might be working which may be the reason for erratic behaviour.

What do you suggest ? can changing this IC resolve the issue? Or can something else is faulty...

The TX works well for initial 2-3 mins.

DO I go ahead and replace it with 0.5Amp 78M05 IC.PLease advice.

See the pics here: http://www.rcindia.org/radios-and-receivers/ckt-pics/msg115794/#new

Reply from Kalyan.......

Look,
7805 is a regulator ic. and opening the cabinet, make power on and run for 5 minute. sense the heat. if it looks wrong, it is not the fault of 7805, but it's overload. Overload caused by leaky Capacitors (Filter capacitors, large one). If you trace the capacitor, connected with two lead of 7805, just replace that first and observe the heat. If still excess heat occurs, check the link fails or not in receiver by powering it. (Link LED will indicate). If LED goes off, your RF circuit shuts down; needs opening of RF Module. Measure current. If LED stands, your microcontroller portion takes excess currents and shuts off.

First of all replace large can capacitors. Then sense heat.

Thanks Kalyan..... it will take a while (weekend) for me to replace the 47mfd caps ... will update once done.

HI Kalyan,
I replaced all the can capacitors to eliminate any issue.. all were 47mfd.... but still the regulator Ic Both 100mAmp & 500mAmp are getting heated !!!!! I tried to do table test but could not notice the erratic behavior i.e TX RX were in Sync.
Checked the voltage of both regulators it was 5V (+/- 0.05 Volt) what else can be the issue???

Can we put a robust 5V ckt inside the TX ?

In my opinion, you should not put a high power 5V inside the device. The 7805 is getting hot only because there is some short somewhere in the circuit. If you supply more current you may end up frying your radio.. Measure the resistance between the output leads of the 7805 and check to see if there are any shorts.

Heating will be always if it regulates. but ceck if the link fails or not!

Input is 1.5x8 alkaline cells = 12Volts, however when i measured it was 11.5 volts ( cells have been used)

It could be you're dissipating off quite some watts (6.5 volts * current consumed) as heat. Try lowering the input voltage (but not lower than 7v). Lin Regs need about 2 v of dropout voltage to provide adequate regulation.

Lowering voltage?Huh? There must be some other use of 12 volt...anyway just having a. Diode before 5 volt regulator will help???
Kalyan I can understand device getting warm because of regulation but these are hot you cant touch them for long. And I checked for 4 min link did not fail
Still needing advice

A diode in front will dissipate part of the heat but you're still only dissipating heat, not efficient.

There is no other use of 12v in your tx.

The problem as I see is that the linear regulator is being asked to drop 11.5v supply to 5v. 11.5 - 5 = 6.5 volts. If your Tx consumes about 0.2A of current, the energy dissipated is 1.3W. LM7805 has a thermal resistance of about 65C/W.You're probably running at much higher than the ambient (which *is* hot to touch). Now that was for 0.2A, take it any higher and temperature will rise.

In any case, it is not going to harm your Tx, so you might want to try and reduce the voltage and check for the heat.

Just  a query if there is no requirement of 12Volts ( I have not traced) in the TX then why we have 12volt supply?
The manufacturer should have put 6 cells (9 volts ) instead of 8 cells (12 volts).... did not get it ??

Lastrite - if there were shorts TX wouldnt have worked .... its working only thing i am worried is heating of regulator + at times loss of control while flying.

They did the same with the 9x, requires 5v, the battery holder is for 8 cells. I think they did it so if someone uses rechargeable NiCd, they'd be running it a 1.2v *8 = 9.6 v

Rightly Pointed. Hats Off

And good to here that Tx link is stable now.

All Tx rechargable cells work at near 9 -11 volt. and Tx malfunctions sometime > 11.2 Volt. I have experienced this when I inserted new DuraCell 8 cells in Turnigy 9x, it started malfunction. But when after using/checking, the voltage reduced to 11 volt, it started working correctly.

The excess voltage is used for faithful operation of regulator. The uC stage often designed with 7809 and 7805 in series.

In your case, as the regulator IC is inside, please add some heatsink and watch range with time test. I think the problem should vanish. And surely, if you use LiPO, change it to LiFePo or add a single diode (1N4007) in battery line.

In case of simulator use there should be some switch which should isolate Tx Mdule to save power which is not available regular Cheap versatile Txs.

I Think any one of the power line solution will solve your problem. But please add heatsink MUST to regulator.

Good Luck

Another reason for excess heating in design view.
It demoisturise Leaky Electrolyte Capacitors and brings life sometimes, or you can say increase module life. Good Idea but innovative reverse engineering. Ha. Ha.

If the Tx was like this from purchase we could have put down the heating issue to bad design. As this is not the case, I think, we can safely rule out the possibility of overheating due to regulation. Now this points to some circuit component that is drawing more power than it was designed to, thus overloading the regulator. Some times solder flakes fall on the pcb shorting out paths. The circuit may still work as these are not 0 resistance paths.

Another option would be to use a regulated power supply at 9V (IC7809 or LM317) and feed it through the battery terminals without modifying the internal circuitry. You can supply this external regulator with a LiPo. Now test the radio. Since it is now supplied by a stable 9V you can figure out if there is some heat related issues with the internal regulators.
