9762 DAC INTERFACE TRANSFORMERAPPLICATION Our most popular transformer for use with most current out Digital-to-Analogue Converters. Designed for and tested with AD1865N-J . Works well with any other current out DAC . Provides current to voltage conversion with approximately 22 dB gain. Presents a low impedance to the DAC output for best frequency response. Provides significant sound quality improvement when compared to other interface methods. Ensures full isolation of digital noise in ground and supply rails. An I/V resistor of 200 ohms is suggested but there is sufficient inductance for good quality operation with higher values. Lower values may improve the sound but will reduce the output. Can be configured to drive 9335 attenuator without loss of bandwidth. Can be used driven from multiple parallel DAC's to increase output level.The I/V resistor across the secondary of the transformer instead of the primary has yeilded the best result according to some customers. The value of the resistor should be increased by the ratio squared. The table below suggests values for rexperiment. |

FEATURES Exceptionally
large and high performance transformer. Twin secondary
windings for driving differential (push-pull) amplifier. These may be used
in parallel to improve the bandwidth and reduce the output impedance to 5K
which is suitable for driving our type 9335 attenuator. Mumetal core for
minimal harmonic distortion. Mumetal can for magnetic shielding. Mumetal core for
minimal harmonic distortion. Internal electrostatic shields to
maximise output balance and noise immunity. Mumetal can for magnetic shielding. |
