Pink Faun USB bridge v2

Introducing the Pink Faun USB bridge v2 - Elevating Your Audio Experience

The Pink Faun USB bridge v2 is a significant evolution of the v1 version, bringing both evolutionary and revolutionary enhancements. This all-new Pink Faun USB bridge v2 is meticulously crafted to take your audio experience to new levels.

At the heart of the Pink Faun USB bridge v2 lies the AS-media ASM3142 chipset, backed by redesigned clock circuitry, updated firmware, and an enhanced power supply section. A noteworthy addition to the USB bridge v2 is the high-retention USB connector, ensuring a rock-solid link between your USB cable and the Pink Faun USB bridge v2.

As is well known, Pink Faun sets exceptionally high standards for power supply design. The improved power supply circuitry on the USB bridge v2 is meticulously designed around the low dropout LT1963A regulators (with a mere 40µVRMS noise level across the 10Hz to 100kHz range). In addition to its swift transient response, the LT1963A regulators boast minimal output noise, making them the ideal choice for sensitive RF supply applications.

Powering the USB bridge v2 can be accomplished through either a 5V supply via the LP-4 Molex connector or an external 5V power source, with the external DC input featuring a 5.5/2.5mm barrel center positive configuration. When an external power supply is connected, the USB bridge v2 automatically switches to it, cutting off power from the LP-4 Molex connector.

What's new on the USB bridge v2 is a microcontroller equipped with our proprietary firmware. This microcontroller checks the connected voltage before activation, ensuring that the USB bridge v2 only powers up when the voltage is both accurate and stable. This precautionary measure is especially crucial when utilizing an external power supply, preventing potential damage from incorrect (too high) voltage connections.
