USP-11-150X Power Supply help / advice in a 6in1 switcher
Hello, all!
I recently purchased a Raiden II DX stand-up that works real nice-like. I have good, clean 5v/12v power coming from the Peter Chou PS and with the original Raiden board (or any other directly connected JAMMA board) it works great. So, I recently purchased a 6in1 JAMMA switcher so I could run any of several boards conveniently. After spending considerable time setting everything up, it turns out the 6in1 will not work. When I test the board in circuit, I am only getting about 2vdc on the 5 and 12 VDC circuits. Upon looking further into the power supply schematics, it turns out that in order to get the 5vdc rail operating properly, you must draw a minimum of 1.5 amps. By default, the switcher has no jamma boards slots activate on power-up, so it is not pulling the amperage required for proper 5vdc operation. A real bummer.
As a note; I have tested the 6in1 on my test bed with a clean 5 and 12 volt line running into it and it works just fine and is able to switch between all slots remotely.
Has anyone experienced this and have a proper or suggested work-around? My best guess would be to add an additional standard 15amp switching arcade power supply and tap it into the AC line going to the monitor (from the Peter Chou power supply) then run the 12 and 5 vdc circuits from the new power supply into my jamma harness. Is this a feasible solution?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
