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

That's funny I am not trusted after 5 pcb design of an AD1862 made for high frequencies op amps, ahaha ! Thanks miro1360 ! Yes the purpose of that is the 2 pins must be connected, the lowest distance and cleanest path together ! The cleanest though is almost a joke and ask some creativity for playing with the 4 layers ! It's a little a current washing machine bellow the chip, mixing the dirt cloth with the less dirt ones.

I would say it 's essential to connect them near these 2 pins only, under the chips bully, somewhat but digital line and power supplies make the things not easy, as the fact there are two chips.

No probs Eclipsevl, we didn't understand you was talking about the power supply pcb and not the DAC one. Pcb are expensive 😉

I said it second degree ! 🙂 (you know, my rock'n roll famous gale attitude !)

Btw I didn't finished to test the AD811, but fuses arrived today, I have somewhere a short that burn the positive fuse on the PSU2 (I removed one LT1963 and it is not the culpritt, I am to check the diode bridge now but I'd better construct another PSUII as I have all the parts !

I am slower and slower...

Do I understand correctly that using PSU 1 or 2 there will be no problem with connecting AGND and DGND in the wrong place?
These PSU are designed to work with my DACs, but you can use it for another projects as well. Grounds are connected on filtration capacitors, then separated at the regulators and then it depends on the application where they will be connected (for DACs they should be connected near the DAC chips - on the DAC pcb) 🙂
