For both lights I would choose the A17DD-SO8, for the last one with a zener diode.
One sided, no 7135 chips, the FET is widely available and high current depending on battery.

OK, thanks for your input fingers, in my country actually it is not that easy to find SMD stuff if you want to buy 1 piece so I have to check first what components I can get, fingers crossed :bigsmile: …

Here are some 10mm & 12mm Single-Sided FET drivers. The 10mm has been built and tested thoroughly, both inside and outside of a flashlight. These give you all of the performance of "big" FET driver in a tiny package, while staying single-sided.

10mm

12mm

For programming the MCU, check out the MMU programming PCB in the OP.

Woohoo!

You sound very happy being out of a job building small drivers RBD. Where will I get my fix now on miniaturization?

Nice work! Two questions:

-A very useful size for a couple of AAA-flashlights (Ultrafire M5, Ultrafire LZZ-06 and clones) is 11mm as well, can you make that one too?

-I do not have the knowledge to sort that out, can anyone find out an ebay-link to a LFPAK33 FET for this driver? I can not judge if one is suitable, and all I seem to find are ones that are over 3 dollars each.

The 12mm board is just a fluffed up version of the 10mm one, so it can be ground down to whatever size you need, down to the 10mm original size.

I know, and making and uploading a 11mm version if many flashlights use that size is still a good idea :-)

Well, yeah, there is that, I guess! :wink:

PSMN2R4-30MLDX by NXP

I believe Richard uses it as well.

Edited with correct link. sorry

For anyone else I'd say no, but for you--I'll do it.

It is already done, but Oshpark's system is having trouble again. I'll try uploading again later.

Like Dale said, I'd go with the PSMN2R4-30MLDX.

djozz, are you sure about the Ultrafire LZZ-06 driver being 11mm, my Jexree Mini that i thought was as far as the body & head goes (they have only different reflectors) would be the exact same light is a 11,6mm driver.

I looked up this FET on Ebay and found no sellers that sell them for less than 3 dollars a piece plus $4.50 shipping :-(

To search Ebay succesfully I -unfortunately- was forced to look into all those different FET-packages :tired: . In the end I found this graphic somewhere in a NXP pdf. Perhaps this saves some other folks a bit of what I have gone through:

Thanks for a 11mm version :-)

I would have to take another look at it when I'm home.

Ok, found it. I looked into an old thread of mine: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/25476 and the driver of the LZZ-06 is even 13mm (press-fit), I got it all wrong, I remembered that the driver that I used was a mm too narrow, but it was a 12mm board that I used, not 10. Sorry Richard for doing the work, I promise that will keep looking out for a 11mm driver flashlight to build this 11m board in .

Ok, that is interesting, that means they are more different than i thought.

The only difference i thought was the that the LZZ-06 had a OP reflector & the Jexree Mini had a SMO one.

I ordered the 12. (They charge by board area, and free shipping! Wow)
Now how do I order the FET. I assume I can get the rest off a Nanjg.

No, this uses the smaller version of the attiny13. Also the resistors and caps are 0603, some Nanjg drivers use 0805.

Oh yes, the smaller version was already mentioned. Thanks.

djozz, I spoke with Mouser today and was told they have offices in Munich and the UK, so you should be able to order the FET from Mouser there in Europe and not acquire the big shipping charges. As I recall, this should be just under a dollar apiece. Providing EU Mouser has them, of course. Digikey should be similar.

eu.mouser.com has them for .83Euro? Mouser-onderdeelnr.771-PSMN2R4-30MLDX
