To avoid hum and interference in our high quality DAC we need to galvanically isolate him from a signal source and break potential unwanted ground loop. One possibility is to isolate DAC on input of the S/PDIF decoder with pulse transformer or connect him with optical TOSLINK. When we want to connect DAC directly from USB receiver via I2S bus, tha

t we must use special integrated circuit which works like electrical isolator of TTL signals. Circuit use specialised circuit IL715E which have on the one side four TTL inputs and on the opposite side corresponding outputs. It perfectly fits to I2S bus, where we have DATA, BCK, LRCK and SCK signals. Circuit requires dual supplying, one on the input and second on the output side. On the input is supply connected to +5V which I bring out them on the I2S connector for future use. Secondary side is supplied from small DC/DC converter. According to recommendations are around converter inductors L1 and L2 and filter and block capacitors. Their values correspond to changer from Aimtec company but probably parts will be acceptable for changers from other companies. For reliable function of converter is on the secondary side load resistor R1 which guarantee minimal current consumption about 20mA. Datasheet have informations about maximum data rate 100Mbps which is far away from our sample frequency 48kHz, where frequency of BCK is 3. 072MHz and SCK is 12. 288MHz with 4x oversampling. Circuit should work with 192kHz/24bit samples where frequency of SCK is higher 49. 152MHz. DAC without oversampling doesn`t use SCK signal that we must care only maximal BCK frequency. It is possible to use isolators from other vendors with same pinout, but we must check their maximum data rate and if they doesn`t need ENABLE signal. First we solder...
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.....
