New DC circuit

Post by Want » Thu Jul 12, 2007 12:18 pm

Sweet tells us. “But with newer, smaller technology available, and a redesign of the DC circuit board, we figured out a way to house a new DC circuit right next to the spool and not sacrifice the capacity
This is taken from TT's review of ICAST and Jeremy's comments on the Trinidad DC. Wonder if that means that we will be seeing a new, smaller, lighter DC circuit in the Calcutta and Calais line sometime soon? Thanks, Vic

Well, next year is about the time when the Calcuttas get redesigned ;)
I bet Murata is already using the new Calcutta DC prototypes.

Getting it out of the spool makes a Calcutta DC50 possible maybe? 8-)

The current DC technology in the Calais will remian unchanged. The circuit we are using in the Trinidad is similar, although slightly different than the version in the Calcutta TE DC. I will be meeting with Jeremy later this week to get up to speed on all the changes and to learn even more about the new products.
