Hello Ales,

5 TSA boards received today.

Thank you very much for all your advices and caps adaptations 🙂.

Great help and service as usual.

See you,

Eldam

Hi Ales

My double board arrived safely here in the UK yesterday.

I have them powering my OPUS VD section and Metronome and sounding great.

Lovely compact work.🙂

Thanks, I would be nice to see some pictures😉

Calculation at 4,5V

Transformer: 4,5V
Load: 50 ohm
Ampere: 1A max
Rectifier Voltage: 1,1V
Usec = secundairy voltage transformer (1,41 x Utransformer)
Uc1 = Voltage across smoothing capacitor = 1,4(load) x Usec, this is your input voltage for the regulator.

Formula:
Uinput-regulator minimal = 5 + 1 = 6V
Uc1: ((1,41 x Utransformer) - 1,1) x 1,4 = 6,34V
Your max ripple voltage = 6,34 - 6 = 0,34V

That's not gonna work.


Calculation at 5,2V

Transformer: 5,2V
Load: 50 ohm
Ampere: 1A max
Rectifier Voltage: 1,1V
Usec = secundairy voltage transformer (1,41 x Utransformer)
Uc1 = Voltage across smoothing capacitor = 1,4(load) x Usec, this is your input voltage for the regulator.

Formula:
Uinput-regulator minimal = 5 + 1 = 6V
Uc1: ((1,41 x Utransformer) - 1,1) x 1,4 = 7,56V
Your max ripple voltage = 7,56 - 6 = 1,56V

If you choose a ripple voltage of 1V you need at least a smoothing capacitor of 10.000uF
Ripple current at switch on will be very high and 1V ripple is very tight if you consider that you mains power of 230V will fluctuate 10%.


Calculation at 6V

Transformer: 6V
Load: 50 ohm
Ampere: 1A max
Rectifier Voltage: 1,1V
Usec = secundairy voltage transformer (1,41 x Utransformer)
Uc1 = Voltage across smoothing capacitor = 1,4(load) x Usec, this is your input voltage for the regulator.

Formula:
Uinput-regulator minimal = 5 + 1 = 6V
Uc1: ((1,41 x Utransformer) - 1,1) x 1,4 = 8,96V
Your max ripple voltage = 8,96 - 6 = 2,96V

Ripple voltage ~ 2V will give you a smoothing capacitor of 4700uF.

Kingpin, I really appreciate all the help you are giving to others.

? would it be better to run 2 pairs for longer runs so sensing is at load end. length will be about 15cm. or better to run longer shielded AC and move the regulator closer to load.

The best would be to make both of suggested. To use sensing and to extend AC cable, so that connection between load and regulator will be as short as possible.

the ones i received from Ales are bridged and as far as i can tell if you use the sensing (running 2 pairs ++/--) you remove the bridge. if you are not using sensing (2 wires +/-) then you bridge the pads on the back, like setting the voltage bridges.

Hi Ales,

Probably a silly question. What is the current thinking on using the 47uf 25v tantalums on the input side. In previous company we had many AVX types blow up and burn the boards.
This has put me off tantulums since then but I assume things are better now although google search still gives them a bad reputation.
Are there any alternative types?

Hi Anjum,

I don't know much about blown AVX capacitors. For my products I use Kemet capacitors, to be exact this model KEMET T491D476K025ATs. Also I haven't received any complaints about blown capacitors.
In most of applications for which my products are meant for, all capacitors are over rated.

For alternative there are stacked MLCC capacitors, something like this KEMET C2220C476M3R2CT500 CAP, MLCC, X7R, 47UF, 25V, 2220, but the price is 3-4 times as much as tantalum cap.

Best Regards,
Aleš

Hi Ales,

Do you have on stock double rail PCB?
I need +-12 for dac analog part and single rail +12 for digital part.
I prefer to have double and single boards.

BR,
Darius

Hi Darius,

I will restock them in about 2-3weeks time. I will post here when and what will be available.

Hi Anjum,

if lucky you should get them by the end of the week.
