Hi
If you increase PSU voltages, does that disappear?
no it doesn't´t matter which voltage is set. if i set 22V and then 25V it don't get better.
this behavior start at 350mV (at both supply voltages 22V or 25 the same)
pic 1inverted amp 22V supply 4,459R_350mVrms in oscillating start at negative rail_1
pic 2 inverted amp 22V supply 4,459R_350mVrms in oscillating start at negative rail_2

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a kicad or eagle file for the LM1875 mono board? I have the parts listed in this thread and they don't fit very well on the chinese board. Also, the boards I have are of pretty poor quality.
Ask the OP on this thread:
Yet another LM1875 amp - review request
Later layouts are near the end of the thread.
sqaure wave test into 8,2R load
Hi
i testes my inverted board with square wave - +/- 22V supply -into 8,2R no caps at the load ...at the moment.
its not easy to see with sqare wave the "clipping" because the square goes a little bit down and at clipping you can see the its starts to get flat.
pic 1 inverted amp with square wave 22V supply 930mVrms in no load
pic 2 inverted amp 22V supply 8,2R_square wave 1khz 830mVrms in about 39Watt
pic 3 inverted amp 22V supply 8,2R_square wave 10khz 910mVrms in about 39Watt
pic 4 inverted amp 22V supply 8,2R_square wave 20khz 900mVrms in about
pic 5 is a sweep with 500mVrms sine wave from 10hz to 70khz in 5 seconds - i set my time scale "long" so you can see the frequency response.....strange look
i did the some measurements agian:
500mVrms in sine wave 8,2R load
10khz 11,1Vrms
20khz 9,88Vrms
30khz 8,91 Vrms
50khz 8,08vrms
70khz 7,02Vrms

Hi Chris,
Since you have this falling slope on your first square-wave pictures, could it be because your scope is AC coupled?
You seem to have a -3dB bandwidth near 60KHz. As I recall, I had a bandwidth near 180KHz but with a much lower gain so that sounds consistent.
I guess you did the frequency-scan with a sine-wave at the input?

These are the values I use for -3.5 times gain.
Calling Vienna:
Chris, what you see as ripple at the negative supply rail is probably the switching frequency of the power supply.
Any regulated supply has some tiny voltages that dance over the DC.
Maybe put a very light load like 1k resistor and run your 25V or so output voltage over it. Connect the scope. So, only your supply, a resistor and the scope, to make it clear. No amp or such. Now you take the AC input of your scope and increase the resolution in steps.
First you only see the horizontal line of your regulated supply. The higher you go, the straight line becomes a little "fuzzy".
Usually some of these "sprites" dancing on the DC are periodic, others are irregular.
If, for example, a neon light with old fashion starter is switched on in your room, you will clearly see that. If you have an electric shaver, "BRAUN" preferred, switching it on and off will give a huge impact (sometimes you hear it in a playing radio or a flat screen TV will loose it´s picture for a second, maybe tone will cut out if connected to the same phase of your wall outlets).
If we look at DC it is usually like looking at a glas of water. It seems clear, but under the microscope shows all kind of organisms.
If you have a huge stock of capacitors, you could clean up this noise on the supply line with small valued ones. Depending on the caps construction and material, you can find combinations that address specific kinds of noise. Tantal, ceramic and very small film caps, like Styroflex will show different results. Here, the same capacity will not show the same results! This is why often different kinds of caps are used in parallel.
There is one point to consider: The limitations of a digital scope, as the old style analog kind is much faster, so maybe you don´t even see all of the stuff ghosting around.

Thanks..yesterday evening i start with my inverted amp and the resistors at home.
2k2 and 8k.
Thanks Turbowatch.
I tried the bench light turning up and down - no effect --- and yes its my regulated PSU = Rigol DP832. at this board ....what i was surprised is that the inverted loose bit gain but is more stable then the non inverted about oscillating and therefore you got more power out.

sorry i thought i did a failure but the scope at the output (blue line) was DC coupled

It is the decline of the horizontal blue parts that surprise me a bit. But, you have a signal coupling capacitor at the input?

yes i have a cap at the input (green muse 10µF electrolytic). i did a check again..now and go 10mV more input the get a oscillation. output DC coupled

mono kit with 6 Gain...and it worked !
Hi
i did it! i set my mono board (inverted) to gain about 6. i used a 8k (8191) parallel to the 22k feedback resistor and solder it there (under the pcb):
01,V more and you get oscliaating and additionally 0,1V more and you get clipping...fine
here are the results - the input is no in V not in mV: 22v supply 8,2R load

Hi Chris, how do you manage to invoke the OverCurrent Protection with a load of 8.2 Ohm? As far as I can see, you cannot get the peak current above 2.5A, most likely not even that much.
