Problem with Mini3

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hello, I've built a Mini 3 portable amp but it does not pass the rail splitter check. To measure the voltages I connect a charged 9V battery and place the black probe on V- and the red probe on V+ just as the AMB webpage describes. I get 8Volts,  ok so far. The problem comes when I measure voltage between V- and IG, then I get 4 volts BUT it drops to 0.13 Volts in  a minute or so. This is not a normal behaviour, is it? Quiescent current is 25 mA, so I assume opamps are ok.

seems that way. OP, less artsy fartsy pics, and just take a clear pic of the board, so we can see your solderwork etc.

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo ... I've replaced both opamps (once again) and now the board passes all the tests flawlessly. I'm glad that everything is ok now because after quite a few replacements the board has began to delaminate, especially U5 and U4 pads.  Afterwards I plugged my phones , a AKG K601 pair ,and despite I expected a bit more volume  (8x gain configuration) it is loud enough . Well,  given that this is my first DIY project I didn't expect it would be that easy but at least I've accomplished it . Next target: gamma1-2. beyersmile.png
