RE-clock for the TDA1541a non-oversampling DAC.

[tube-lover]

Dear all,

I was design two re-clock of the TDA1541a non-oversampling DAC. Test print also print out already.

Any comment for the re-clock can advise.

Pls ee the test print of the two re-clock in one PCB.

thx

Hi Thomas,
A schematic of the reclock you envision would be more informative.

dear Elso Kwak,

I had two re-clock fit in one PCB. This is the schematic for one. any comment for this??

thx

Hello Thomas,
Did you attach a schematic to your post?
I did not see any scheme.

yes, would it be nice to have that... post it

Why 2 paralleled 431? I assume one is enough, those logic ICs certainly don't draw more than 100mA. Paralleling such low impedance shunts could cause more problems than solutions.

And, from what I've understood from the schematic, it only reclocks the bit clock (in fact, it's not reclocking but it creates a new bit clock)
why not reclocking the 3 (or 4) lines?

You could try to place a 100ohms resistor in series of the clock path.

The minor inductance of resistos will help to reduce the overshoot.

This method of reclocking is stolen from DDDAC. It works I have used it my self (for one TDA1543).

The main problem is it is not synchronous to the data stream so when the oscillator drifts you will either lose a sample or use the same one twice, when that happens the resulting jitter is ...

If I read the schematic correctly the tl431 shunts are not in parallell but one is for the oscillator and another for the 4040 divider.

IC8 and IC9 are parallel (IC10 and IC 11 also). I would not do that.

Imagine where is the other "taken" from ... that's why Elso jumped in.

Uncle Pedja already got a headache for such things... IMO if someone wants to make some boards for a original design he should at least inform the designer and give him credits (it would be better to ask him permission).

Cheers
