I purchased an LM2577 to power an LED strip from a USB 5v source. I’ve connected the usb source and set the output at 13.5V and when connecting the LED strip the strip does light, but a little dim and the display on the LM2577 is flashing. I’m using a 5′ section of 5mm DIP LEDs which should be pulling .59 amp, well within the operating range of the LM2577. Did I get a bad unit? or am I doing something wrong?
Also the voltage at the output terminals is measuring 10.1V after connecting the LED strip.
