+ | POT P1 middle & right Pin connected to VCC-\\ | ||
+ | POT P1 left Pin connected to a 27K Resistor and this resistor to a nother 27K Resistor which is connected to CV1+ Input. the middle point of this2xresistors is going to the TL74-OP-Amp Pin1 which is a inverting input...\\ | ||
+ | The Output of this TL74 Stage is Pin1: its connected to Pin 6 SSM2164, which is the CV-Input\\ | ||
+ | When i measure Pin6 to Ground, and Turn P1 most left:1,8V... Turn P1 most right: 2,47V\\ | ||

- | That should be sufficient as a hot fix, isn't too much effort and you'll still have a decent precision when calibrating.\\ | + | **Pro:** easy job, still have a decent precision when calibrating.\\ |
+ | **Con:** “just change the jumpers if you need some channel in bipolar mode” thought will not work. (FIXME really?) | ||
+ | ==== Resistor Solution Stock - -5V Level shifter - NorthernLightX prefered ==== | ||
+ | we came to the conclusion that it's probably much easier to have the AOUT only output **unipolar 0 to 10 volt**, and design **a simple -5v level shifter board** that can be used as an add-on (or separate module with hands-on access to the level shifting) to **shift the output to -5 to +5 volt** where needed.\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Things to consider are:**\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | - not a lot of equipment actually makes use of negative voltages\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | - equipment that needs bipolar CV input can be retrofitted with a fixed level shifter at the input to make it compatible with your other modules\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | - negative voltages can be used for CV modulation purposes (modulate one CV source with another) so it's certainly not useless\\ | ||

+ | ====== MODs ====== | ||
+ | ===== MODE Resistor - Noise vs Distortion ===== | ||
+ | SSM2164 Pin 1 (the first pin) sets the "Mode" | ||
+ | ==== Class AB ==== | ||
+ | Pin 1 is Open, no Resistor to +12V (PCB Default)\\ | ||
+ | Lower current results in higher distortion/lower noise.\\ | ||
+ | ---i do want distortion and dont care about noise--- so i do not change anything, the pcb is fine. | ||
+ | ==== Class A ==== | ||
+ | Pin 1 is Connected to +12V via a Resistor\\ | ||
+ | Higher current results in lower distortion/higher noise\\ | ||
+ | lets look in the datasheet:\\ | ||
+ | {{:phatline:ssm2164-ab-a.png?600|}}\\ | ||
+ | Figures 11 and 12 show the THD and noise performance of the | ||
+ | SSM2164 as the bias current is adjusted\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | I_MODE = ( (V+)−0.6V )/ RB\\ | ||
+ | 1,52mA = (12V-0.6V) / 7,5K\\ | ||
+ | Leaving the MODE pin open sets the SSM2164 in Class AB with 30 μA in the Gain-Core\\ |
