I modeled the switch and have identified the source of the problem. There
is a resonance formed between the junction capacity of D12, D14 and the
100uH inductor RFC3. When you add the 12pF cap or a scope probe, all you do
is move it around a little. The easiest way to kill this problem
Bob,
Bingo! You nailed it I'm sure. Your explanation accounts for other things
I saw when originally troubleshooting this circuit. I arrived at the 12 pF
'fix' by accident when noticing that a scope probe made the problem go away
but I knew it was only a patch .. and did not address the
