Dennis,
Thanks for those nice words but in the end many people have been involved on this project starting by our nice friends, Colin Toole, Steen, Manu and now you have also joined this team, so this is what makes DIYaudio great.
Now we are moving forward in the fast lane with the gerbers almost finished and suggest we start moving things to materialize the GB.
Tasks in front of us is submit gerbers files to suppliers for quote, we have to set specs for the boards also. And maybe start a Wiki so have people show their intentions of buying and have a fair estimate on number of boards to order.
To all,
Can someone open a wiki?
Suggestions for board suppliers?
Cheers,
😎

BTW, Colin has used several PCB houses and his favorite one is PCBnet that looks interesting to me also.

I started a wiki page here:
http://www.diyaudio.com/wiki/index.php?page=Toole+Regulator+PCB+GB+
Not much there yet...but I'll add some info tonight.

pcb offer
Thanks, Manu, for your offer,
I cranked up the old Protel program and "played around in the sandbox" a bit to include the big Jantzen, Rifa or Solen PP caps (could just have added them externally - duh!) -they're finally ready to drill and assemble and have some fun - going to see if it'll drive the DOA headamp at 350mA (hmm!) and compare to the Teddy-Reg.
Again, many thanks for you, Tony, Steen, and everyone to complete this rather surprising project.

To All,
Just for the record on this thread also. You may see a nice pic of the last UGS preamp build by Steen which sports 4 raw supplies and 4 Tooleregs (first generation)… amazing and 😎

how much voltage headroom is needed for these gems to regulate?
5V is enough, allthough I prefer a bit more. 10V makes me sleep well enough.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
T0220 diodes freaks : There are extra pins for this purpose on RAW supply kiddoe ... crowded but it should work ...(hopefully)
Manu
James : provided that is doesn't implies too much changes to existing PCBs I can provide a board (as PDF for home etching) which fits your special needs ...
Manu & Tony;

That baby full as an egg look terrific, indeed. Great job and nice to see Manu turning out to be a PCB

🙂
I like the small SMD Schottky bridges for low current applications, as they have such a tiny forward voltage drop. Here's one example:
(Mouser Part Number):
610-CBRHDSH1-40L
(Mouser Part Number):
610-CBRHDSH1-40L

Time to post Latest version (penultimate?)
Some labelling nonsense corrected (thanks to Master Tony with his 7 eyes ...)
Steen : please abuse ...

We shouldn't forget NS10 ...

2 of them would be a (stereo) pair 😀

Suggestions for components are always welcomed here, that diode bridge looks rally nice for the application and an easy install even if it is a surface component, it might gain popularity between us in the future or maybe if there is a second run on the GB we could include it on the bonus supply if we get others supporting it. At this point the Gerber’s should be ready as shown by Manu so I’m sorry to say that we will have to wait.
Cheers,
🙂
Wow, I forgot that the NS10 boards would be available too. I guess you better put me down for a pair of those as well 🙂
Are you ready for some abuse Dennis?
😀

Very nice Manu. Basically how I have built them, separate raw supply with rectifiers (though just a single bridge, using MBR160 diodes), then CLC filter, and wires run to the regulator board, which shared a PCB with the circuit I had it powering. 5v drop is more than enough, and I have gotten away with less, though performance does go up slightly with increased voltage drop.
Hi Colin.
Yes indeed, great to see you join the party.
Thanks a lot for posting and sharing this project😎
