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

[namghiwook]

I soldered the AD797 I/V PCBs.

I don't know that this Civ of AD797 I/V is optional like the Civ of miro's AD1862 DAC.

Can I solder a jumper wire instead of Riv of miro's AD1862 DAC for AD797 I/V?

I have written many times.
When you're using the passive IV with AD797 gain stage,
You MUST remove Riv and Civ from the Miro PCB.

I soldered the AD797 I/V PCBs....

What is the reason for the glue/silicone substance?

 

[namghiwook]

I made the leads just like the pictures attached.
I glued the leads just for not-loosening and holding tight together

@EUVL
Thank you!
Now I see.
Just removing Riv Civ and keeping the state opened.

AD1862, I2SoverUSB v.III - not flipped, 20-Bit uf.l connectors

I2SoverUSB not flipped (pin-headers installed on the bottom side on I2SoverUSB) ... the heatsink and USB connector are on the TOP 🙂

Hi Miro,
Using "the not flipped PCB version" and the I2SoverUSB v.III powered-up itself. If only H3-9 to H3-16 connected btw both boards, no-touch on SJ1, SJ2 and SJ3, is it correct?
Thanks

@happylistening "I2SoverUSB v.III powered-up itself" -- I assume you mean powered by a USB cable:
SJ1 - close
SJ2 - close
SJ3 - open
Jumper J4 on I2SoverUSB board - close

If you mean powering by itself as powering from an external power supply (not with USB cable from intergrated regulator on I2SoverUSB board), than as you typed: SJ1, SJ2 and SJ3 is open (no-touch), just the jumper on J4 and the respective power supply for I2SoverUSB board.

😉

Thank You for your shift reply

Quick question before starting on the shunts. What current draw do you see from the AD1862 and the shift registers? I found one post mentioning the 5v shift registers draw ~25ma and each ad1862 seems to consume ~15ma judging from the spec sheet.

Cheers -

 

[Sorenm]

required current as a rough estimate with a fine reserve, in the reality it is less:
+-200mA for analog (+12V/200mA, -12V/200mA)
+-100mA for digital (+5V/100mA, -5V/100mA)

I found these numbers in post #234. The seem a bit high but maybe a good start.

Hi @Sorenm,

A while ago I checked the current draw of Miro's AD1862 DAC board loaded with OPA1611 and Burson discrete opamps.

With OPA1611 opamps installed:
+12V = 22mA
-12V = 30mA

Burson V6 Classic opamps:
+12V = 40mA
-12V = 48 mA

5v supply @idle/active signal:
+5V = 5mA/22mA
-5V = 3.3mA/3.3mA

 

[Sorenm]

Thank you @Vunce !!!

5v supply @idle/active signal:
+5V = 5mA/22mA
-5V = 3.3mA/3.3mA

The current draw is much higher in the +5V supply for an active signal and in the -5V supply it remains unchanged, any ideas why this happens? 🤔

 

[NIXIE62]

Shift registers?

 

[danny92]

They draw all that current, WOW, from the datasheet it seems much less.
At which frequency were the tests performed?

I got PCBs in hand and am looking to order parts. Has anyone identified upgrades for the caps on the DAC side of the board (ad1862)? I saw one person substituted the ceramic and polypropylene caps with SMDs.

Cheers, Soren

 

[Sorenm]

Particularly curious about the C1-C6 0.1uf ceramic caps and the C9/10/13/14/19/20/23/24 0.1uf PP caps.

 

[zoom777]

@Sorenm , you have 5 boards. Do two or three boards to try out and listen.., 😜🤣

If you substitute, go for c0g (np0) ceramic, or go for rubycon MU capacitors. But as zoom said, make it first, then mod 🙂
