Opa541 - Bpa-200

[kinser]

Hi all,

I have just started my OPA541 based BPA-200 and i wanted to know if I could use 0.33 Ohm resistors insted of 0.1 Ohm resistors for the 2 parallel amps ? main reason is because i cant find 0.1 Ohm resistors near by me and second reason is because i have a load of 0.33 Ohm resistors!

Thanks,
Kinser

As far as I know 0.33 resistors will be just fine, and a bit more safe as the peak current will be slightly less, which means safer operation.

So unless someone else knows otherwise I would say go for it.

Why don't you parallel two or three of the .33 ohm resistors?

Hi again,
Thanks for you relpys.. i think im going to do mateo88 said: Im gonna parallel two 0.33 Ohm resistors to make about 1.65 Ohms!

I do have 2 more Q's:

1. How do i parallel 2 amps? just add the resistors to the output of each amp and connect the same input the amps? (Like this http://mars.walagata.com/w/matttcattt/audio/Fig2.GIF exept in NI mode?)

2. can i use this http://sound.westhost.com/project14.htm circuit for the bridging part?

Thanks,
Kinser

Anyone out there?

1. Yes, that is all you do to parallel them.

2. You most definetly can use that bridging adapter. You may want to have a look at this also.

Good luck with your !
