WM8816 digital volume control (WM STAMP)

Hi,

i am searching WM8816, MAS DA6116 and MAS9116 but didnt find any at Mouser, Digikey, Newark and others.

I asked the german distributor of MAS and they only sell in 100 unit quantities and for a crazy price.

Does anyone know a reliable source for these chips?

best regards

Alan
 
please help!!!!

Just purchased a VFD display and connected it to the WMStamp Driver board which i've got from Vetaran as a kit, but the display will not switch on, there is a +5 V as i'd checked in pin 2 on the VFD.

Another question, do i have to install the crystal Q1, C11,C12 and L2 to connect the digital supply of the PIC to make it working? These parts were not included when i received the kit.

Have you tried to adjust the contrast pot on all its course? I also thought my first display was not working but then I found out the pot adjustment is very critical, can be very different from display to display and can be close to the end positions.

Christian,
I'd tried adjusting the pot in both ways, but with no success.

I'd double check the pin configuration from the driver PCB to the VFD and i am sure it's correct.
There is a 3 pin CN1 in the rigth side of the VFD module, when i shorted pin 2 and 3, all the dot characters flashes, this means that the module has a power. But why it will not switch on, i don't know.

Some more suggestion please........

Question about discret buffer for the WM8816

Hi guys,

my pal in germany wants to make a high end WM8816 with discret buffers in front and behind the WM8816.

As I can read in the Datasheets the WM8816 needs a feedback loop from an Op amp at the output stage. Can someone explain me why? And how we can do this with a discret buffer (like Jung buffer/ Diamond buffer)?

I think the Wm8816 needs an inverting feedback or I did missunderstand the datasheet.
