DAC AD1862: Almost THT, I2S input, NOS, R-2R

:cuss::cannotbe::bawling:Certainly dead, but you can try in I2S mode (pin 27 to 26) with pin 4 floating or grounded (should be grounded though in I2S mode). IIRC input pins have diode protections but not sure it resist to -15V ! It has probably made a short wuth the positive voltage of the pin 4 if it was tied to the front end !

Check also the front end (JLS, or CPLD or shift register according what frontend you have).

I re read Plato and he said that only people never soldering never break IC ! :smash:
 
I maybe mix the pins position. The idea is : 5Vpin to pin 27 = I2S mode & -5V pin to pin 27 is simultaneous mode.

Pin 4 is data R and shorted to Pin 5 Agnd in I2S mode in datasheets. I will works too grounded to Dgnd or to Sclk pin but doesn't need it, So assume than floating is feasible to in case of short of the input without deep damage inside ? The Wclk pin 1 is not latched in I2S mode and it manages the Data L/R multiplexing on pin 3 as it works in word clock mode. (pind +5V to pin 27)

// cap pin 16 to 17 not populated with non-A TDA1541 (the cap is inside). Maybe yes it needs with non A to toed pin 4 to 3 (don't remember it all)

TDA1541A : If some want a 4 layers efficient smd board with the classic datasheet grounding and with just uf-l I2S/Sim and a raw for JLsounds board, tell me or make an interrested GB, should be less than 30 euros for 4 layers w/o shippment & w/o I/V stage. (and will be better than all the faux solded kits seen here and there but Audial's or Thorsten's).

The one thing I missed in Miro's boards is the reconstruction filter so I decided to make a PCB with one (WIP):

4 layer board, going to pair it with the PSU posted earlier. Main question is the input, since I want to have both USB (York) and Bluetooth options (Bluetooth would require resampling), I am going to separate all of that and and just have clocks + reclock register on the DAC board.
(Don't pay attention to values on the schematic, they are all wrong 🙂 )

So this will be an AD1862 board with output filters? Or do I misunderstand?
 
Hello everyone, some time ago I bought a used Ad1862 dac. Could someone check if all the elements are ok? It sounds nice, but the stage width and some bass attack are missing. I am not an electronics guy, more of a hobbyist.
