For the sake of authenticity, I am considering implementing the Atari XF551 power supply circuit on my clone board. That way one can use the original brick power supply. I know I said I would not consider that. Okay shoot me. ![:)]()
I am clueless on power supplies. I plug in the cord and turn the switch on. If I see a bad solder joint I try to fix it. But design one.......that's way over my head.![:woozy:]()
While I can read most of the part #s and values off the board and schematic, some of it remains a mystery. Perhaps someone here can fill in the gaps or help redesign the circuit.
Unknown parts:
L1
D1, D2 and D3
Here's the criteria:
The board needs:
5V+ 1A
12V+ 1A
The old Atari brick power supply claims to put out 9V AC 31VA.
The space used on the board is 6cm by 6cm. I need to keep the heat generated down as much as possible and use fairly modern and easily procured parts. It would be nice if I can use the original heat sink bar. I think I could redesign the clone board around it, much like the original board.
Any takers?
