--- Quote from: NiHaoMike on December 02, 2018, 03:54:43 pm ---What about use the lowest gate resistance that doesn't ring to minimize switching losses and then add filtering to solve EMi problems? --- End quote --- As it is this is a good idea, however when the board is in its place Q20 is literally unreachable with a scope probe, so this encumbers the effort. --- Quote from: xavier60 on December 03, 2018, 02:17:22 am ---Rt and Ct to me read 7.5K and 1nF on pins 18 and 16 of the TDA4718A. When I try to apply these values to the VCO frequency chart on page 15 of the TDA4718A data sheet, the result is literally off the chart, very high. Can someone confirm? --- End quote --- On my copy it is still on chart, and it is somewhat beyond 100kHz. |

So I made a custom heatsink. I've checked the ready made ones, but wasn't too impressed by any of them... So for this round the circuit remains unaltered only the heatsink was changed. PS.: I haven't tried the board yet... |
