Newbie question

I've read some of the pages on this subject, but not all yet, but i was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to make a preamp using the supersymmetry topology to make a preamp? how about the ad811 in this topology followed by a pga2310 and some kind of output stage? :bigeyes:

Draw us something..😉

/Hugo - Wonders how pinkmouse's circuit is doing?

Badly... Whatever I do to it, Rookie's design seems to be unstable... But I haven't given up yet!😉


That was fast...
Give my circuit a try. The one on post #473.
If you want i can post the one with the resistor values.
On the sim it worked OK.

VFB LM3875 Supersymmetry

I seem to remember that somebody was trying to do SUSY with Lm3875 op amps - any success?
This would cut out the power boosting transistors necessary to ramp up CFB design and the as the chip is already rated sonically would be an interesting combination
 
Same here PM..

Glad to see it is not just my incomptence causeing the problems. The cap that I suggested worked great in the sim, but added its own problems. Going the other direction with somesort of choke might be something to try...

I probably have the fewest skills of anyone involved in this, but my next step is to actually "blow up" the circuit to look inside the two chips to see if that triggers any good thoughts. Once you "grok", it should come..

I really would like this to work.. conceptually it would mean just add modules to get all the power you need for whatever you wanted, without all noise, distortion etc, or huge parts list.
 
Pass_Yax2_JH Measured Again

In the same way as post #361, measured again.
The first shows sine wave at 1k Hz (1V/Div and probe setting x10). I intentionally made clipping to see if symmetrical or not.

Finally, at 100kHz (1V/Div, probe setting x10).
Here, I see the overshoot and ringing clearly. This however looks OK for me. It must be that two poles (conjugate complex numbers) are in the stable side and so the ringing decaying rather quickly. I imply that the amp is stable. But, since I am not a professional interpreter about the overshoot and ringing, if you tell me any different opinion or any tip, I would much appreciate it. Thanks.

Don't you dare! I am having far too much fun as it is, and it would be nice to see if I come up with something similar to yours!😀

Don't you believe it, I have never built anything from scratch before, my sole experience has been copying others circuits. I feel I am actually learning something, my mac is always online whilst playing around, and I am constantly hopping between this forum, datasheets and other websites to try and work out what is going on, I haven't had so much fun/frustration in ages.😉
 
Most of the times there is a little trimmer on the tip area, which allows you to trim the internal cap across the series resistor. (This is with 10x attenuator probes). You connect the probe to a cal signal (which should be available on the scope) and adjust for best-looking square wave.

With straight 1x probes, there still sometimes is a trimmer to adjust for cable cap, but this trimmer may be on the connector of the probe to the scope.

How do you go about adjusting a probe?


On many scopes you have a calibration output, mine give 0.5Vpp
squarewave. Just hang the probe on that calibration point. On the probe there shoud be a small screw. Turning that calibrates the probe. On the right side of the picture you can see the probe hanging on the calibration point.
