For this I'd recommend another approach: Usage of several voltage reference sources (e.g. TL431) with adjustable output voltages. For adjustment (e.g. 1.00V, 2.00V ...) I'd recommend 25-turn precision trimming potentiometers. This avoids the need of 0.1% resistors with the right

The fuse values are recommended by the manufacturer of the transformer and we took them over without changes. We test all A-100 systems and frames that are manufactured in our company with the full load (i.e. 650mA for the old version of the power supply and 1200 mA for the PSU2)

hello dieter, with the right amount of jacks this module would close a real gap in the a100 module range. what i always wanted is a buffered version of an a180 and a precision adder could be used that way too, if it had enough jacks. how about three inputs, four buffered outputs
