If I put my notes here, I might be able to find them again later!
RJM Z-reg + Pass B1
I was asked to suggest a voltage regulator for the First Watt (Pass DIY) B1 buffer. One thing led to another and the next thing I'd sketched up a circuit board for the buffer as well as the regulator.
It's like a B-board, but with the JFET buffer instead of the diamond buffer, and with a single supply and, hence, the coupling caps front and back. Since it's using JFETs for the buffer I used a JFET for the pass device in the regulator, too.
Full credit to Nelson Pass for his design.
Eagle files do not show 2SK170 because the package is not in Eagle. All transistors 2SK170 or equivalent. Zener is 18-22V DO35 or DO41 i.e. Vishay BZX85. V++ is 5-15 V above whatever you select the Zener reference to be.

Hi great job thank you, can you clarify the voltage with the zener ? I am a bit noob and my English are not so good, so a more detailed explanation would be appreciated.

As an example, the original circuit specifies +18 V DC power. To obtain this, you would use a 18 or 20 V Zener, and a transformer with 18, 20, 22, or 24 VAC secondary.Posted 20th May 2013 at 02:39 AM by rjm

Hi, I tried my own layout in eagle and I think that the TO92 package that is used has the Drain & Source the other way around, can you please confirm?
