-MBHP_OPL3 modifications+====== ​MBHP_OPL3 ​module ​modifications, the 5V option ======
  
 +The [[http://​www.ucapps.de/​mbhp_opl3.html|MBHP_OPL3]] module originally has three TL074 op-amps, and a circuit that needs +/-12V bipolar power supply.
 +
 +In Wilba and nILS [[sammichfm|sammichFM]],​ they use two OPA4348 rail-to-rail op-amps, that can be powered by 5V.
 +
 +Sauraen suggested another 5V rail-to rail op-amp, the MCP6004, which is pin compatible with the TL074, and a way to modify the OPL3 module to use these.[[http://​midibox.org/​forums/​topic/​18492-mbfm-5v-option/​]]
 +
 +- Replace R5,R7,R10 and R13 with jumpers\\
 +- Bridge IC6 pads 1&3, 5&7, 8&10 and 12&14\\
 +- Leave out:​\\ ​
 +IC6\\ 
 +R4, R6, R8, R9, R11, R12, R14, R15\\
 +C15, C16, C19, C20, C23-C30\\
 +- Bridge C20 pads (to supply Ground for the op-amps)\\
 +- Leave out bridges to IC6\\
 +- Use MCP6004 for IC3 and IC5 (IC3 The op-amp, not the DAC, labeling error)\\
 +- Supply 5V to the +12V pin, and Ground to Ground\\
 +
 +This way the second buffering stage is left out.
 +
 +In the sammichFM, nILS designed a separate dedicated 5V supply for the DACs (YAC512) and the op-amps.\\
 +To modify the OPL3 module for this approach:\\
 +
 +- Cut the trace between the 5V pin of the Oscillator and the DAC\\
 +- Leave out the middle horizontal bridge from IC1\\
 +- Connect the right pad of this bridge to the 5V pin in the middle of the board with a jumper\\
 +- Connect the left pad of this bridge to the 5V pin of the Oscillator with a jumper\\
 +- Two separate 5V voltage regulators, IN pins connected through a ferrite bead\\
 +- One 5V source to Core and J1 of OPL3 module\\
 +- The other 5V source to J3 of OPL3 module\\
 +- Ground ONLY to J3!\\
 +
 +Tips:\\
 +- Starlike wiring (Ground from PSU to each module + Audio outputs)\\
 +
 +
 +I can vouch for these mods :)\\
 +My MIDIbox FM V1 has hardly any noise, and it has enough gain.
