 we came to the conclusion that it's probably much easier to have the AOUT only output **unipolar 0 to 10 volt**, and design **a simple -5v level shifter board** that can be used as an add-on (or separate module with hands-on access to the level shifting) to **shift the output to -5 to +5 volt** where needed.\\ we came to the conclusion that it's probably much easier to have the AOUT only output **unipolar 0 to 10 volt**, and design **a simple -5v level shifter board** that can be used as an add-on (or separate module with hands-on access to the level shifting) to **shift the output to -5 to +5 volt** where needed.\\

 +====== MODs ======
 +===== MODE Resistor - Noise vs Distortion =====
 +SSM2164 Pin 1 (the first pin) sets the "​Mode"​
 +==== Class AB ====
 +Pin 1 is Open, no Resistor to +12V (PCB Default)\\
 +Lower  current results in higher distortion/​lower noise.\\
 +---i do want distortion and dont care about noise--- so i do not change anything, the pcb is fine.
 +==== Class A ====
 +Pin 1 is Connected to +12V via a Resistor\\
 +Higher current results in lower distortion/​higher noise\\
 +lets look in the datasheet:​\\
 +{{:​phatline:​ssm2164-ab-a.png?​600|}}\\
 +Figures 11 and 12 show the THD and noise performance of the
 +SSM2164 as the bias current is adjusted\\

 +I_MODE = ( (V+)−0.6V )/ RB\\
 +1,52mA = (12V-0.6V) / 7,5K\\
 +Leaving the MODE pin open sets the SSM2164 in Class AB with 30 μA in the Gain-Core\\
