3x powersupply for rpi

Postby fboe » 02 Nov 2016, 20:08

Hi

I have made some ekspirement with linear power supplies for the rpi3. First I have powered it with 5v at the gpio, which gave an enormous improvement. But then I removed the "crappy" onboard regulator (for 3,3 and 1.8v) at the rpi board, and powered it direcly at pp8 and pp9. Oh my.... another enourmous improvement in sound :-)

Are there someone who have tried something similar?

Do you have any pictures, schematics, etc?

Hi

I have attached two picures wgere you can see where I have removed the onboard regulator, and a picture where you can see where I connect the power. PP8; 3.3v og PP9 1.8v

Very nice:). There is only one 3.3v cable and a 1.8v cable....
They dont have ground?

The grund is connected to GPIO pin 6, and the 5v to GPIO pin 2.

Yeah, sorry for the poor soldering (it's so damm small) - the pictures are from my first prototype, which is now dead because I tried to replace the crystal with a better one......that was not a success.....
Are there someone who have tried that with success?

Wow this is great, I have been the wanting to experiment with power supplies and this has given me the push
Could you share the details of the actual ps you used/built
Thanks

Another couple od questions
First is ther a published schematic of the Pi3
PP8 and PP9 which is 3.3 and which is 1.8v
Also is there a chart of current requirements of the Pi3 showing current drain when various functions are turned on or off, whether different I/O is used or not
