Power Supply Connections

2006-03-15 by Larry T.

I would like to suggest that, if at all possible, we include both the
Blacet/MOTM 4 pin +/-15v power connector. and the Synthesizers.com
+5/+/-15v 6 pin connector.  The board could allow for the optional +15
to +5 regulators when using the 4 pin connector.  Some of us already
have +5 in our systems, and generally, no matter how much ANYTHING you
come up with will use (short of a room heater), the +5v supply is
never anywhere near being used to it's rated output.  I note that some
of the newer MOTM boards also use a seperate +5v supply.

I bring this up in part because of the LED/LCD/VFD discussions, and
partly because the MPU in consideration has requirements for +5v, and
I really don't want to add more +15 to +5 regulators to my already
stressed out +15v supply, when I have 4-6A of un-touched +5 just
sitting around asking to be used.
