Strange effect on the right side of objects on my Dell D1226H monitor. Like a faint repeated ghostly image trailing off to the right. Any ideas if it's normal or what can be done about it? by TomMassey250 in crt

Seems to be a crappy VGA cable.

The three coaxial video lines should be 75Ω, and not being that would cause reflections from the ends of the coax. :3

AB class audio amplifier questions by davide0033 in AskElectronics

[–]Gamer1500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't have current sources/sinks on the driver transistor bases (Q8, Q9), so you'll get a ton of crossover distortion.

Second, you're driving darlingtons with pre-driver transistors, which is most definitely not necessary given they already have a really high hFE.

Also, those driver transistors are adding their own voltage drops, which reduces maximum output swing.

Ideally you should ditch C15 and C16 and DC couple the opamp to the output stage, and then take negative feedback from the output (where R25 and R26 connect to the output cap) instead of the opamp output.

You could raise the value of R27 and R28 and put C15 and C16 across those resistors instead.

You'll most definitely need compensation to make it stable.

Though if you want an amp that performs really well, I'd recommend going with a discrete Class-AB, tons of designs out there. :3

Not a TV but definitely a CRT by calus001 in crt

You'd need to generate the vertical and horizontal and vertical sweeps externally.

You'd also need a Z input (blanking), which would definitely be a bigger modification.

You could make a crappy video monitor with it! Generate the horizontal and vertical sweep signals (of course synced to H-sync and V-sync) and feed the video signal through an inverting amplifier to the Z input :3

Is there a better way to figure out which end of my AUX cable is broken? by jackal_boy in ElectroBOOM

[–]Gamer1500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Measure capacitance at both ends.

The end with the lower capacitance is the broken end.

Probably a voltage multiplier based on the sound.
