gillesdeshays Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 I think my SID is too hot when I use it ? How hot is yours ???PS: I know ... this question is weird asked like this ... :oGilles Quote
Ian_Hurlock Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Quite sane really :P :P :PWell my SID 6581 gets hot. All ten of them do :o :o  Hav'nt blown any up yet ;DLO uses the 8580 or whatever it is and he reckons his does'nt get hot.Glue a nice little heatsink on him.Therefore Gilles, I reckon, it's down to you and me working some pretty hot riffs thru our 6581's that get's em all hot ;) ;)Ian Quote
js Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 TEN!??!! :oWoah! Ok I saw the picture of the slaughtered C64´s but ten, that almost crazy!! (read: wish it was me... ::) )I can´t wait to build my first one (with a nice and cold 8580 btw...) :)js Quote
gillesdeshays Posted April 23, 2003 Author Report Posted April 23, 2003 ok ... In fact, i think that's me which get HOT when i use the SID ... What a sound !!! Gilles Quote
LO Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 This is true my 8580 stays ice cold! even after +30mins of repeating a sequence. The 7805 on the core is another story tho! I think its about to melt a hole in my PCB!Are you guys suppling 15v before the reg to the SID? I read somewhere it needs that to get a clean sound?! Quote
d2k Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 Hey..Lo, can I ask - what caps did you use for the filter part of the SID using the 8580s? The 6n8 ones as suggested? I tried these but had no joy...NiceDan Quote
pay_c Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 @LO: But youre not putting the outcoming 12V of the SID directly to the 7805 of the core, do you? Or even the 15V (???)?If you do: Try putting another 7809 before the 7805 (you dont need all those caps for the 7809 - the 7805 caps are enough).Hope I could help you. Quote
LO Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 ummmm yeah 15v straight in to the 7805thanks ill try the 7809caps are 6n8 I think? ill double check tonite Quote
TK. Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Yes, 6n8 for the 8580The descriped method (15 V -> 7809 -> 7805) is a good solution for converting the voltage without much heatBest Regards, Thorsten. Quote
