#90156 - Re: The better way.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Dear Erik,
Thanks a lot for your reply,

To really make this work, after all you are dealing with "unmanageable" currents, I would make an unregulated, say, 24V supply and use separate DC/DC converters for the individual voltages. My guesss is that the ~$10 cost of each converter (<3A) will not kill a project like yours.


I am using the said voltages for following applications.

+5V @ 750mA --> Micro and other digital circuitary power supply.
+12V & -12V @ 250mA --> Analog section power supply.
+20V @ 1.5A --> Pulse transformer excitation for thyristor firing.
+24V @ 250mA --> Various DC inputs such as Foot switch etc.
6-0-6 AC --> Zero cross detection and supply voltage monitoring.

I am using isolated grounds for these diffrent supplies and the grounds are joined at one place under the ADC. If I use DC-DC covnerters will it not create ground loops since the grounds are already joined under the ADC. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks & Regards,
Prahlad Purohit
