The simplistic Salas low voltage shunt regulator

[Salas]

Any suggestion where I should start troubleshooting?

Small transistors first.

 

[Tham]

Will do that. Thanks

Salas/Iko, one of my 24v v1.5 shunt powering a dac failed last night 🙁...both Mosfets are cold. Vin is 36v and Vout is 33v.

Any suggestion where I should start troubleshooting?

What salas said is most likely.

Can you measure the voltage at a few points and post it? Refer to the schematic that you used.

motor run cap (big cap, too much inductance).
.

I didn't think polypropylene film capacitors had a lot of inductance.

Thanh I hope ,as I want use , but big size= induttance.....

The Salas low shunt is very wonderful. I use for DAC , It is ver good!
you can see in board
! thank Salas!

And finis

Looks nice!

Looks nice!

I gift to you one board, You can sent for mee your Adress, and information!
thank!

 

[Melon Head]

OK I am definitely interested in those boards.
How about a group buy

Quanghao, how can you produce professional looking pcbs quicker than we can even think about? 😀
Do you work in a pcb factory? Can we send you some drawings and have them produced as samples?
It goes without saying we pay for them and cover shipping costs

No! Im design, I'm just a diy, I do Board for me and for my friend use.

Can we send you some drawings and have them produced as samples?
Ok! I can help you!

if you sent me you file, I think, It is standard after a week production is completed.
You can sent for me by e-mail: mythuat818 @ gmail . com Or

Thank

You're very generous, thank you, but I have no need for a board in this configuration.

Nice board !

Would you please post a schematic that goes with the board so we can all follow your work ?

He uses it for digital. 3 on one board. +/- +

Thank you Salas !

It is the same design i am using right now.

I am wondering if I should lower R1 to 9r5 as to get 250 mA current instead of 200mA in my riaa ?

[Salas]

If you got the sinking, the stronger you run it tends to become lower output impedance. If you have applied the force/sense wires already it may be even an audible bit in your low PSRR SE phono application.

Instead of searching for (unobtainablum) parts like 9,4 or 9,5 2w resistors, I was wondering if I could change the leds.

Can I use low current leds like : ROHM|SLR-342YC3F|LED, 3.1MM, YELLOW | Farnell Portugal

Does the current spec matter ?

Can I determine Vdrop from the led spec ?

Regards

I think the model numbers in the schematic are there simply because those are the only models available... There is no need for exotic LEDs.

Here are some models. I don't know how good they are.

.MODEL LED_RED D (IS=93.2P RS=42M N=3.73 BV=4 IBV=10U CJO=2.97P VJ=.75 M=.333 TT=4.32U type=LED)
.MODEL LED D (IS=93.1P RS=42M N=4.61 BV=4 IBV=10U CJO=2.97P VJ=.75 M=.333 TT=4.32U type=LED)
.MODEL LED_Blue D (IS=93.1P RS=42M N=7.47 BV=5 IBV=30U CJO=2.97P VJ=.75 M=.333 TT=4.32U type=LED)
