Slewmaster - CFA vs. VFA "Rumble"

Started using the multiplier for PSRR challenged CFA input stages.
CFA's will be @ -90db+ PSRR behind the multiplier.


Some VFA's will be -110+db in the same spot.


My new class G OP stage makes more ripple on the high voltage rails , so
I even enhanced the slew-master cap multiplier X2.
Very useful tool - if you don't mind losing 2-3 volts.

Problem solved...second chanel working well...my mistake with TL...

Nice , yours is the 3rd build of this topology.


BTW , my new "greenamp" is similar to this IPS.
It uses the "spooky" input with the kypton VAS (below).


PPM + it can clip all day (self clamping VAS).
Offset is servo'ed with current mirror/source feedback.

It is a unique design.


Thanks for building another.

Not yet , very close.


Greenamp uses special output stages - modulated class G (.
4 devices , 2 active will give 200/400w
8 devices will give 400/700w. All on a 100w amp heatsink.
With half the power supply size.


You do need two supplies. The arcam (at 200+ watts - below) has
the little trafo for it's +/- 30V supplies. And a big 70-0-70V.


(Below 2/3) is my faster ,simpler, cleaner class G with 200khz square
waves on a 1k carrier.
Just testing the carrier , it is still at 10ppm despite the rail following of the
HF square wave.




"Greenamp" thread is where this new tech is.
20 patents + 50 designs to inspire me ... way better than a Crest pro-amp ...
NO switching in class G !!
I'm still debating whether to share this ... I most likely will. It's that good
and very different.
