Precision Power Scaling part-C
Hi Guys
When I'm laying out the PCBs for SV1 and SV2, I do SV1 first then remove the parts not needed for SV2. Usually I can pull back one edge of the board so the empty space on SV2 is not too large. However, with the latest design (unreleased, but boards ordered and arriving soon) there was enough space left to add VCK, which is required with SV2 anyway.
Back when I began offering Power Scale kits on PCBs, some of the boards were GIGANTIC. In retrospect I do not know how these were fitted into a lot of amps? In the case of the kits for cathode-biased amps, an earlier form of VCK was part of the board. So, in that regard, the new board has come full circle but in a much smaller package.
Life is often circular and you hope that you learn something each time around.
