Looking for buffer/gain boards
« on: 23 Jul 2010, 08:14 am »
Hi, I'm looking for some high-quality boards (or kits) that can be used as building blocks for gain/buffer/filtering. They need to be somewhat configurable, perhaps 4 blocks per board, something like that. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

PS I'm not looking for plugin op-amp replacements.

Thanks :)

Is this something a Pass B1 would work with?

Hm... maybe, although I'm not so keen on the capacitor coupling. But then again it looks simple enough to make, perhaps a bit of a rethink of the project is in order. I was thinking more along the lines of something that's more a generic amp/buffer/filter building block. I thought I saw one a while back but can't remember where.

Too small? Solder SMD is your thing?

Just to throw out ideas, I just ordered Tea-Bag/Salas' DC coupled B1 buffer inspired by Nelson Pass' B1 of course. I ordered a pair, since I like differential/balanced circuits. The latest version uses shunt regulators and a 12V based relay...so if you don't want a capacitor, this is one way to go.

See here, and here. Just e-mail Tea-Bag if you want the board or boards. It's quite an elegant design and I love shunt regulators.








Best,
Anand.

I just noticed that the schematic is wrong, or the designer didn't bother to use the right symbols in the shunt element. It is now a NPN transistor connected wrong but I see that a P-channel MOSFET is used.
