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

ahah, that's more than okay as those days I diy à la slow food... snailishly in that word exists !

Glad to have to have your feedback. Miro's solution is good but thats 3 legs pots are a pain to me to remove...

It is possiblle I also wasted the pcb on the +V rail as I had pain to remove the 330R as it was rigth between the LDOs... hve to check with the DVM buzz continuinity option. But that's just the 150 R of my R1 that should be too much low

LT1963A fixed without trimmer:

15V in excel sheet:
R1 = 330R
R2 = 3760R (build with more different resistors in series)

10V in excel sheet:
R1 = 330R
R2 = 2400R

How can it be hard to use the excel sheet for fixed values without trimmer? Just let R1 330R and change only R2 with different values until you find desired voltage 😀

I simed R7 = 4k75 with R8 back to 330R (R1 datasheet) which is giving R2 (datasheet) = 1638 R (7.2V) to 2908 R (11,8V)

On the spreadsheet it works, but the trimpot amplitude is very big : 4,6V... not 1.2V !

Thanks miro, near 15V and near 10V is okay, so I can choose normalized values on the + rail and still work with trimpot on the negative rail to have the same negative V.

Just need to change the R-Core for 18V.

 
Here is a quick calculation for 5V, 10V, 12V and 15V. I kind of prefer the variant with fine adjustment, because it is difficult to achieve exact values with fixed resistors, and there are also the tolerances of the resistors and the regulators themselves. When you buy a fixed regulator, it also has deviations up to +/- 100mV. I think that this small deviation is mostly not important. And I have several voltmeters, none of them show the same voltage. Today, nothing can be trusted. 🤣

I think that for 15V there must be some pre-regulator in front to protect the LT1963 (it has a limit of max. 20V input voltage). One transistor, one resistor and one 20V zener diode is enough. The practical maximum for the LT1963 without a pre-regulator is approximately 13VAC secondary of the transformer.

English please.

Hi,

Cool...

Please remove c28 that should be the dem external oscillator cap and any Networkgoing on pin 16 &17 as you have a non A chip... but for a precise reason like increasing the cap inside the non A. for active DEM sync.
I would remove too the 2 grey decoupling caps of pin -/+ 5 V pins... but if you choose the decoupling of -15V to -5V and try if better at listening if they only are decoupled to Agnd decoupled at the classic Agnd.

C1 to C5 remain to the Agnd ground. The gap that split Agnd to Dgnd should be also on the bottom layer, they cross only at pin 14

To give you an idea. Notice pin 14 here is tied on bottomss layers as at the top you can se the outputs trace going there and in front of pin 14 that needs to see not only Agnd put also pin 15 decoupled to agnd.

more than enough for the analog ad1862 side plus the opas. Maybe you took 5V for the digital side of the AD1862 that works between 5V to 12V. The original PSUII is +/-5V and +/-12V.

try to measure the AC of the 5V wires of the output of the traffo (not connected.). It is always less for R-Core than torroids. You need to have 5V + the dropping of two rectifier need and 0,xx V (very few) as it is a low drop out regulator (<LT1069/>LT3015).
