The problem is, that there is current draw switched on and off, which 
puts a sudden load on the supply. The trick is to keep the current 
constant, but redirect it over a transistor (excerpt from one of my 
schematics):



The R19 should be fed by your U1C pin 8. If you have only 12V as supply, 
you should use a 3k3 or 4k7 resistor for R24.
