Re: PCB extenders with a flexible ribbon cable - looking for suggestions on construction method
I wonder, during manufacture, is it possible to strip a flat cable's isolation by melting / burning it away with a hot bar? <cheater00social@...> wrote:

Re: PCB extenders with a flexible ribbon cable - looking for suggestions on construction method
Thanks John, have you ever soldered large conductor count ribbons like that? What about ones at 0.64mm pitch? How did that go, did it need a lot of rework, etc? <john@...>

Re: PCB extenders with a flexible ribbon cable - looking for suggestions on construction method
Just hold it down, flux it up, and it will solder well.

Re: PCB extenders with a flexible ribbon cable - looking for suggestions on construction method
The connector is already decided, it is the PCIE x1 connector. All I need to figure out is how to solder a ribbon to a pcb with minimal effort and cost and rejects, and how to house the whole thing

Re: PCB extenders with a flexible ribbon cable - looking for suggestions on construction method
Thanks Leo, what are transit connectors? I was thinking of soldering the ribbon cable on a diagonal. So if the pcb is 25mm wide, and x mm long, then the diagonal is sqrt(25^2 + x^2) mm long. Since

The data sheet at https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/ds1230ab-ds1230y.pdf mentions ¡°lithium energy source¡± which is presumably the usual battery.

Re: High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
Yes - I noticed they were selected as well but, like you say, we don't know the criteria. New 2N3053s have a range of 50 to 250 for hFE so I suppose it's a crap-shoot as to what one

Re: High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
I am late joining this thread, and although I have look at the previous posts in this thread my remarks may already have come up. Note that Q32143 and Q3220 are shown on 7704A change sheet M32489,

Re: PCB extenders with a flexible ribbon cable - looking for suggestions on construction method
I would be looking at IDC connectors, like what was used on old PATA hard disk drives, or FFC/FPC cables and connectors. The former is bulkier but can carry more current and endure more flexing. The

Have a look at the DS1230Y/AB nonvolatile RAm it uses EEPROM or FLASH memory and NO BATTERIES REQUIRED!

Re: High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
I'm inclined to do that but it still bothers me that one board needs it and the other does not. Maybe I'm just nit-picking now. Thanks, Barry - N4BUQ

Re: High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
I have three transistors with which I can use to test for Q32143: 1) Original in the misbehaving regulator - hFE: 122 2) New replacement 2N3053 (from Mouser) - hFE: 172 3) 2N3053 from working

Re: High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
Barry, if I read the diagram correctly the gain of the loop is boosted by C134 above some tenth of Hz, then dampened by both RC119 and RC141 around hundredth of kHz. Yes I believe it could be fun to

Re: High-Amplitude High-Frequency Oscillations in 7704A LV Regulator
The values of R32117 and C32119 are setting the open loop bandwidth and phase margin but the tolerance is not critical. What current through R32139 do you get when pressing BEAM FINDER? Also check

Jim, After reading again the Trouble shooting section and once more studying the schematics I very much doubt that my reasoning about integrator drift was correct. More specifically there is a Test 9
