Babelfish ᄅſ
Seeing some stones turned lately , I simply couldn't resist Babelfishing urge......
Though , as I already did some mild Babelfishing of our dear and beloved J2 , logically that this time I needed to do something ...... completely different
due to constant demand and popularity mainly on Far and less Far East , schematic of original FW J2 is still generally unknown or - better said - none of circulating DIY schematics weren't blessed by Mighty Pa (pleonasm here , Pa is Mighty by 42)
few things we all know , and these few things are good and plenty enough for basic postulates of variation of Jazz Standard
Basic premises :
1. possibility of incorporating less critical ( for acquire) JFets for input LTP, by choice and must possible use of 1+1 , or 2+2 in same ;
2. possibility of incorporating various output devices , of lesser and bigger rarity and/or price
2a. possibility to avoid tearfully matched parts (outputs and other ) , while still easy settable both output offset and OS Iq in broad range of values
I got it all ........ how:
1.easy peasy - use N channel JFets (choice is waste!) , lead them (currents) back to lower output gate via simple and effective current mirror ..... put few cascodes here and there to pet both JFets and fine CM parts (tiny JFets are always grateful for that, but high beta small BJTs like that too) ....... and while we are there - why not using fine emiter follower between CM final end and lower output's gate .......
2. OK - trimpot in front of lower output's gate is trivial ; second part is feeding Optocoupler with CCS , with some current spare , and routing the same in loop around ( in parallel practically) said optocoupler , so we can set Iq of upper mosfet with ease and in broad range
2a.partly already covered above , just to add that output devices can be plain old IRFP150 , same as any boutique part you already have , value of Ugs is irrelevant - easily covered with change of ,say, two resistors
'nuff talking , time for schm (read notes on left side):
