Scope Design: JFET Input EXICON Output 10 Watt Class A

I have changed 2 capacitors and added a Zobel in output.
C1 = 47pF, compensation tested with Scope
C3 = 10uF, not any benefit making it bigger

Thanks lineup for the latest mod, hopefully prasi can incorporate these on his great pcb design with a revised version..

Also I asked you some questions in post #15, can you have a look at that and give us builders your brief answers, thanks again.

Although the added zobel network could be wired off the pcb, the 2 cap value changes would not need any change to the pcb layout.

Looks interesting as always Lineup!

Anyone know where to find some ECX10 over here in Australia? Seems to be unavailable / unobtanium from the usual sellers.
Also available slightly cheaper at Audiophonics in France. Altronics here in Oz has the P but not the N. I don't think you will find them in stock as a pair anywhere in Australia - so OS purchase will be required.

Thank you prasi!
You always support us! 🙏
PS. please, if you will find the time post the diy friendly single side pcb in pdf. 😉
Hello Thimios,
here you go. both diy pdf and gerbers with modified design as per #42.

"The S version has been tested and graded into colour bands based on the technical spec shown below to ensure close matching. We cannot guarantee a specific colour band upon request but orders will be supplied from the same colour band. If you have a particular requirement, please contact us before ordering."

I recommend buying the S version.
ECX10N20-S
ECX10P20-S
 
There is no benefit from S version where single MOSFET per rail is used. S versions are meant for using devices in parallel. It does not provide any P and N channel matching. From the leaflet:
  • The test bands are different for N channel and P channel
  • There is no benefit from having the same colour dot as the test bands are not the same.
