hi guys, first of all I beg your pardon for my poor english,
I started mounting an amp4, and soldered all the surface mount components, the 9v and 5v tests were fine, so far so good.
so I mounted all the hole-through components, and after closing J10 the tripath main chip (tk2050) started to smell and runs HOT, quickly unpowered the board (btw I use an old AT trafo from a pentium1 pc connecting the +12 and -12 to ac1 and ac2, all went fine since now) and discovered that the 2,2k r59 was burned, got a new 2,2k connected the +5v(trafo) to ac1(board) and gnd(trafo) to gnd(board)... and the 2050 still was overheating and... r59 was again burned with only 5v!!!
Considerations:
All the smt components are soldered pretty clean
both chips are again well soldered (after the overheating could the 2050 be burned?), checked and re-checked many times
The amp is nearly finished i have to mount only the nmos and pmos (q4, q5, q6 and u10, u11, u12)
My board is rev 1.1 and I mounted the voltage supervisor straight (not rotated 120deg counterclokwise)
I used Rin 20Kohm (r21 and r29) and Rfeedback 49,9Kohm (r23 and r31) as I'd like to use a 50K pot as read in the instructions.
Any suggestions, tips, miracles?
coky.
