Hello,
I am currently working on a few design changes for a mbhp_sid pcb.
Current changes i made:
-I redraw the Schematic from the scratch to have a .sch and .brd eagle file, this allows easier change in the future.
-The voltage regulator was moved to the border and allows easier mounting on a heatsink.
-An additional connector for direct current supply is optionally available.
-Instead of having ground wires, the whole copper area is now used for ground plane, and therefore better shielding(eventually less noise)
-the clearance between pads,wires,vias and the copper area was changed from 8mil to 16mil, this allows easier soldering(especially for beginners)
-As 4x2 Connectors are not available, i've changed it into a 5x2 Connector, therefore a "Pfostenstecker" can be used to connect to the mbhp_core.Also the distance from the sid chip is a little higher.
So my question is: Have you any other recommendations? Are other people interested in this new version? If yes, where should i put it online?
Best regards,
David
