Hi Dominic,
if you compare figure 37 and 39 you'll see the difference. I've soldered the two
resistors 27k and 13k and the diode D1 directly onto the IC1 (these 4 devices
are SMD parts - I had to use a magnifying glass an a very fine pitch soldering
iron) and made connections to pin 3, 10, 11 and 28 of pcm2902. This "piece of
crap" is fixed with hot glue and I'm done.
You can substitute the voltage regulator by any other low drop type - the
enable input isn't imperative. The pcm2902 codec needs about 3.6..4.0 volts at
pin 10 to override it's internal voltage source.
Good luck.
Ciao Martin
you're right - the pcm2902 codec is broken by
design. The internal
voltage reference shows a terrible distortion because the 1 kHz usb
clock isn't decoupled properly. The data sheet
(http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcm2902.pdf) recommends the use
of an external voltage reference for "a high-performance application"
(figure 37) - unfortunately Behringer uses the circuit for "a simple
application" (like figure 39).
I tested my UCA202 with Fons' jaaa and got a "nice" peak at 1 kHz -
it went away after adding a REG103-A to my UCA (you can get free
samples from TI).
Hi Martin,
How do you "add" a REG103-A? Do I need a deep knowledge of electronics,
or would a soldering iron be enough? ;)
I've got a UCA202 which causes a very audible, pulsating noise at
multiples of 1 kHz while running Jack. If there's a way to fix it, I'd
like to try. Of course the device was cheap, and as it is it's pretty
much useless to me, so I'm not all too afraid of breaking it...
Dominic
