Hi all..
Yes Dave you’re right, upon further digging in the catalogue (Tiny print to go with Tiny components!) I see the range of SM Caps, it says there intended as an alternative to Electrolytic and Tantalum capacitors and cheaper too.
Very impressive, I didn’t know there was the capacity to make capacitors with that capacitance in cases with such a small capacity!!.
Apart from the ADC and Frame FIFO’s the only SMD in Domino is a BB149A varicap diode, it’s ‘the’ most fiddly part to fit!, I’ve often twanged one off into the land of the lost never to be seen again.
Dave said,
'To be honest I haven't really thought that far ahead and I'm some way from completion at the moment.'
I’ll hold off on the ‘go faster stripe and UV under lights’ then, please tell me your not using the dreaded ‘Xilinx’ or some such device in your converter..
(quiet Jeff B will hear!
).
