Hi Tony,
Sorry.
The double barrelled does indeed have coupled collectors below the cascodes. I had not picked that up in the simple two pair schematic.:xeye:

The numbers stack up well for 2ohm.
8 quads can achieve 1kW @ 60degree phase angle and with Tc<100degC. Sink ~<90degC
This was some test for Bensen's SOA spreadsheet. I have never tried to do a cascaded output stage before.
I estimate that power from +-76Vdc with +-60mF per channel after you have biased it up. Iq=400mA from +-76Vdc Pq=61W. That will need a fairly big sink, but your going to have that just to fit 32 To3s in place.

hi,
i was thinking 400mA quiscient current too...

😀 can you point me to Bensen's spreadsheet please? thanks..

i just liked the sound of the super leach amp, and i was wondering how a really high powered version work out.


and jens, really glad to see that you are still on the ball...nice lay out, it keeps getting better... maybe we can have that input front-end option as separable from the output stage, no?
 
Hi Jens,
what about moving the hi current fuses and the PSU input terminals towards the output end and away from the voltage amp. The space created by deleting the BIG cap leaves lots of room.

Would it be possible to move the power input to the opposite end of the board?
 
To show my interest to this project, just had the time to layout all the components from scratch based on earlier work by jens.

I'll split the file so that its possible to post...

Leach superamp pcb

This thread began in February of 2005. I believe it to be a worthwhile project and would buy any number of boards to see it to construction. Many projects on the forum have been built in the 50-150 watt range. This particular, tried and true design, is in the power range many of us would like to own. How can we get this thing going so we can populate the boards. I currently do not have the resources or knowledge to do it, but am learning. Tad
 
Hi,

I thought about how to get a PCB design made that enabled the builder to have either a two or one board layout depending on what heat sinks is on hand.

I came up with the idea of having solderpads that could either be used for wires while at the same time have the connections made in the PCB... if two boards are needed simply break the PCB in two and you have the output stage seperated from the input.

See the schematics.

\Jens
