[sdiy] CEM3340: VCC +10V vs +11V

[Florian Anwander]

You are right.

I got meanwhile also an answer from Dieter (english translation by me):

"We use 10V for the CEM3340, in order to achieve an even better 
stability (if the + 12V would vary slightly, the internal 10V on the 
module still are stable). But we had always problems, because obviously 
not all CEM3340 worked properly with 10V(even if the datasheet indicated 
so).
In the last production series of the A-111-1, we bridged 7810and 
operated the CEM3340 directly on 12V. The A-100PSU2 was so stable that 
there were no problems here."
