Babelfish XA252 / Babelfish XA252 SIT / Babelfish XA252 SET

This has not stopped you and Pa feeding us greedy boys with this plenty power Class A though, luckily 🙂 but indeed, as Speels I also wonder, why THF51 on 30vdc only?

DEF OS is proven as special case , where you see Tokin SIT working good enough on lower Uds

as shown with Singing Bush (common source). there is really beneficiary increasing DS voltage for SIT

A more serious question: if I intend to build the Schaded version, all the parts of the SIT-version must be used, minus SIT? Or am I just confused?:deerman:
For the not Schaded MOS only, should C16 and R50 also be ommitted? Otherwise they are just there without contact to other parts (schm says nothing about this two parts for MOS only).
And as always - which one (MOS only or Schaded) do you prefer?
:cheers:

POST #119 is having pretty much complete info for Babelfish XA252 SET

one thing (you know that ZM is polishing da Turd all the time; if Pa can deal wth Muffs, ZM can with Turds) - zeners (ZD1 and ZD2) in series with precision CCS are changed from 18V to 22V - just to leave even bigger margin to max allowable voltage across LT3092

anyhow, if you have specific question, just shoot

Cool, many thanks, I missed this schm, now I understand the DN thingies in my package :deerman:
 
had Lucida Intervalla (regarding mythical LT3092) just yesterday; it seems I'm really going to use most tricky ones for soldering - there is plenty of them on Market, and I was blind for fact while avoiding them as plague (3 cases - one big, easy, one small with normal pins, tricky, third small, full no pins smd, damn tricky) ......

though, not single reason why I didn't started with XA252 kit frenzy

had enough on my plate anyway ........ and it is much more fun making new amps than selling any old one

:rofl:

so, ooomphteentht time, soon
 
ZM,
To make soldering the DFN package a bit less tricky, during pcb layout extend the solder pads slightly so they stick out when the DFN package is in place. This will allow touch up with fine tip solder iron and lots of flux 😉.
Hot plate method also to solder belly pad. There’s 1000’s of those little buggers ready for shipping to you.
 
tnx! ......no worries, I'm already used to that
in fact, (almost) all smd packages I'm using I already edited (in Eagle library) to have prolonged bare pads

I have warm plate (even if just 70C, believe it or not, sometimes world of difference) and hot-air station, so only obstacle is my eyesight, luckily easily helped with ..... helpers :rofl:

It´s me again, Mightiness 🙂
I checked Post 119 against the received new schm, and there are some differences, could you please explain it? :deerman:
  • Post 119 schm has in the SIT/Schaded area a 0R (R45) between R44 ans R46, in the received schm is this 0R missing
  • Post 119 R50 is 750R, the same in the new schm is stated as "47R or 750R" (and called R51)
  • Old schm R6 10k, new schm R6 15k
And yes, THE question: should I go for the Schaded version (but no SIT)? Which version would you prefer?

Many thanks!
