A chopped Mini-A with Jfet input stage

[Fuling]

Well, since the dynamic CCS is gone it doesn´t qualify as an Aleph at all, but what do you guys think about this:


Edit: I forgot to draw a few things on the schematic.
Output transistors are IRF9530/IRF530 with 220R gate stoppers, rails are +-12V and Iq=1,3A

[Fuling]

Or this (more questionable...):

second version looks as safer bet
in both cases you need lag compensation across nfb resistor (15K ; 12K)
mebbe you can try with one range up-scaled nfb resistors (multiplied with 10) so you can use film cap in divider;

besides ,referencing bases of cascodes to intersection of two 47 ohms resistor is mebbe better........

besides besides-don't take me serious, I'm just toob boy

I´m not so sure that the cascode circuit is necessary, only the change from IRF9610 to BF245C (or some other Jfet) should decrease the input capacitance quite a bit I think.
When I get the time I´ll hardwire a prototype and see how simple it can get before losing performance.

You will want to use Fairchild or Harris for the 9530 part,
as they have lower distortion in Common Source applications.

Thanks for the advice!

I have a another circuit in mind too that I will post within a couple of days, something between this and a Zen.
When I look into my crystal ball I see a lot of prototype building and testing the next few weeks

My latest "invention":

The AC and DC values are measured on a working prototype, not simulated. Max output voltage is 20Vp-p with 24V rail (missing in schematic).

nice

mebbe you can try dissimilar jfets for cascode?

I must ask: For what reason?
I need all the current I gan get to drive the mosfet, and BF245C seems like a good choice. I tried BF245B at first but then I only got 5mA instead of 9mA.
