This circuit is next experiment to build high quality DAC with optical input TOSLINK, electrical input S/PDIF and USB input. Both electrical inputs are galvanic separated from DAC. This circuit was thought like part of preamplifier / headphone amplifier with analog and digital inputs. I choose DAC without oversampling, which has reportedly most de

voted sound. Optical input is connected directly to optical receiver TORX173 which has TTL output of SPDIF signal. Electrical input is connected through pulse transformer with ratio 1:1. Recommended is pulse transformer LL1572 of Lundahl company. Next S/PDIF input from USB receiver with PCM2902 is connected also through LL1572 pulse transformer. Feeding of S/PDIF decoder and DAC uses separated windings of transformer. Power supply for CS8416 use three low-drop stabilisers. One LE33CZ for feeding of digital part, second for analog part and one LE50CZ for logical inputs/outputs and optical receiver. Voltages are filtered by tantal capacitors and goes through filter inductors. Near chips are blocked with ceramic capacitors. DAC has separated feeding to stabiliser LM317 adjusted to 8V output. It`s necessary to cool stabiliser with small piece of aluminium cooler. Every one of parallel connected DACs has his own decoupling capacitor. Circuit CS8416 can work in hardware or software mode. In hardware mode doesn`t need processor driving and he has limited number of features which are adjusted with pull-up/pull-down resistors. They are readed in the reset state. Simple reset circuit with C1/R1 causes that after powering up will be on reset logical 0 for some time and next go to logical 1 after charging capacitor. Circuit has 8 AES3/SPDIF signal inputs and internal multiplexor. In hardware mode we can switch 4 inputs with RXSEL0 and...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
