    Brief technical details

    The PCB reference is "D-219V1.1 20221023".

    The design is based around a Si4825-A10 mechanical tuning AM/FM/SW mono audio receiver IC (U2). A D2822M 2-channel audio power amplifier IC (U1) configured in bridge mode either drives the unmarked built-in speaker or else stereo earphones that will work in mono as well.

    While the MW(AM) signals are handled directly by the DSP chip, both FM and SW band signals are shaped by basic RF front-ends using active devices like a A7 (BAV99) antenna ESD protection diodes (D3), two R25 (2SC3356) NPN RF transistors (Q2 and Q5), and some RLC filter networks.

    The power supply design is simple. No regulators were included, either for the 3V from the dry cell batteries or for the external 5V DC IN jack. A single 470uF/10V large capacitor (C1) is connected in parallel with the supply line, close to U1.

    When using batteries, the positive lead (VCC+ line) connects to the power switch before reaching the +V line used by all active devices. The battery negative lead (VCC- line) is connected to the outer switched pin of the DC IN jack before reaching the ground plane (GND).

    When inserting an external power adapter plug into the DC IN jack, the battery negative lead is disconnected to prevent battery damage. The DC IN jack outer pin is grounded and it becomes the VCC- line. The DC IN jack center pin is connected to the battery positive lead (VCC+ line) thru a M7 (1N4007) series power diode (D4). Therefore if we apply 5VDC we may expect a voltage drop between 0.7V to 1.1V across D4 depending on the consumed current, resulting in an running voltage of around 4VDC average.
