The new Red Baron DAC Module V5.0

The evolution brings the following changes

- Jumper for I2S / simultaneous mode
- latest 3.3V attenuator for I2S & simultaneous mode (by -ecdesigns-)
- free running DEM oscillator (by -ecdesigns-)
- additional U.FL pads for I2S & simultaneous mode
- Separate U.FL-GND route to Digital-GND


Still on the module

- Separate I2S-GND route to Digital-GND
- Separate Analog Output GND route
- Separate GND route for active divider decoupling caps to Analog-GND
- Modified active divider decoupling pads for better SMD 1210 caps soldering
- Un-interrupted ground plane
- Direct shunt voltage inputs with shortest onboard traces
- I2S In-/Outputs with shortest onboard traces
- Onboard Grounded-Gate MOSFET Current Buffer I/V Stage
(-ecdesigns- MK7 version)
- Separate GND-Trace for I2S / simultaneous mode attenuator
- Master/Slave connectors for parallel DAC module usage and external I/V Buffer stages e.g. Tube-I-zator & DDNF Stage
- no SMD Design

The DAC module V2.3 will still be available for those,
who want to use it without the TDA1541A Shunt module!



If you want to use the onboard Grounded-Gate MOSFET Current Buffer I/V Stage,
you need additionally the DC-Reference Module



Description

Because the Grounded-Gate Buffer is connected between the DAC output and the passive I/V resistor,
normally the I/V resistor is connected between the DAC output and GND,
you must get rid off the approx. 4V DC on each I/V resistor.
Therefore we must get a new reference GND for each channel.

The circuit is connected to the ref.+5V at the output of the buffer and GND,
with a decoupling cap for each channel.
By trimming each voltage so it exactly matches DC voltage on the I/V resistor,
the DC voltage between I/V resistor and reference becomes zero.
In other words, the DC component is removed without using a coupling cap.
