Yes the CCS scheme is built for larger loads, the original Placid BP was not really intended for high current. It was really designed for IVY III.
Russ,
I suppose a single Placid HD for supplying the power hungry BII+Tridents will be available also?

Who says we haven't? 😉
Not everything we design makes it too production. At least not until we decide its ready. 🙂
1) Depends on the app. Voltage drop etc. But it is designed to do 1.5A or so under the right conditions. Its just a prototype right now, so we still need to test the limits, but that is what it is designed to do provided adequate heat sinking etc.
2) About ~200ma each rail idle. You will want to add to that your anticipated headphone (with 2VRMS) load to get your CCS cuurent plus say 25% headroom. I would say 300-400ma from CCS would be a pretty good place to start.
Yes quite likely, but Placid is actually a different circuit then Placid BP and really more suited for high current than PlacidBP.
Russ and Brian,
Do I understand correctly that when using the L3 with balanced output only the circuit is identical to that of L2 (except for the missing caps and different fets)?
Cheers,
Nic

I mean...with a PlacidBP is possible to obtain +-12V and 300 mA...isn't it? Is that sufficient?

Nothing to explain, just that if you want to supply a different diy device that needs higher currents, like a preamp, or even a little poweramp, you can do so.
