Use mosfet, do you have afraid for only 8mA: use big heatsink to dissipate the rest of current not used by the load.

Regal BiB max. Vout 45V Current 100mA-1.5A with IRF9610

Go Salas BiB thread to download the pdf SSLV1.1 builds & fairytales

I'd like to know if there is a maximum output capacity that I can put on the load.
Also I'd like to use this circuits as AVCC of my ES9018.
Normally many people use preregulation like "Placid" on Buffalo DAC and after an integrated regulator like LT1963 or "trident".
What do you think if I connect directely your simplistic Salas low voltage shunt regulator from the dedicate transformer winding to the ES9018 analog voltage pin?
I don't use Buffalo dac but a diy board.
Ciao

If I remember corectly the output cap is 47uF, why do you want to increase the value?

It's a good idea power AVCC of ESS9018 directly with Salas shunt regulators.

what Is benefit of using lower / higher value

That's integral to the open loop calculations of each. Just use what is listed in each schematic.

No

Run the minus reg at 100mA with a Mosfet output config.

Listen to others with experience in combining with such DACs me I don't use them to tell you my subjective comments.

Thank Salas,
I'll use the only way I know: make comparison tests.
Ciao e grazie.

I did some changes to the calculator excel.
It now can calculate the dummy load resistance and its watt rating based on the expected consumption, and then the total mA consumption based on the voltage across the CCS resistor

Thanks Salas!
