One channel at a time.

PKI · 4th November 2012, 07:02 PM

Ok, started it, but :-(... I have: +/- 33.7V rail, DC on output -6.2V, voltage on source resistors(1ohm) -- 0.35V. R8(R11) source of Q3. --5.2V, R14(R18) -- 4.75V.

(BrianGT boards notation).

So everything looks perfect except DC offset. My Q1 and Q2 are matched perfectly, but I have a 100k R8(R6) resistor, maybe it is it?

HIPCHECK · 4th November 2012, 07:21 PM

Is that 6V of DC offset?
Is that at initial start up? Also, did it settle any after running for a few minutes?

PKI · 4th November 2012, 07:22 PM

Ok, i removed R8, DC offset dropped to -16mV, but after 3 min of working rising again, now it is -28mV :-(

Zen Mod · 4th November 2012, 07:23 PM

everything up to 100mV is considered as OK

still - lesser is better

PKI · 4th November 2012, 07:26 PM

Anything i can do to reduce it? My input pars were matched super close.

-35 mV still going up... :-(

ya have Algar_emi's Aleph pdf ?

HIPCHECK · 4th November 2012, 07:33 PM

Let her run for a bit and settle down, and measure it then.

Like they said 35mv is not really "bad", but it will change after warmup so let her run some now.
