1 W Home Stereo Amplifier Circuit Diagram

This is a one watt home stereo amplifier module project using the KA2209 IC from Samsung, which is equivalent to the TDA2822. It operates from 3-12V DC & will work from a battery since the dormant current drain is low. It requires no heat sink for normal use. The input & output are both ground referenced. Maximum output will be obtained with a 12V power supply & 8 ohm speaker, however it is suitable for driving headphones from a supply as low as 3V.

The Specifications of the home stereo amplifier :

D.C. input : 3 – 12 V at 200 – 500 mA max
Idle current : approx. 10 mA
Power output : > 1 Watt max. 4-8 ohms, 12V DC
Freq. Resp. : approx. 40 Hz to 200 kHz, 8 ohm, G=10
THD : < 1 % @ 750 mW, 4-8 ohm, 12V
Gain : approx. x10 (20 dB) OR x100 (40dB)
S/N ratio : > 80 dB, G = 20 dB
Sensitivity : < 300 mV, G = 20 dB
Input Impedance : approx. 10 k ohm

Description 

The gain is adjustable from ten to 100, i.e. twenty to 40 dB. Start with feedback resistors R1 and R3 of 1k ohm, this will give a gain of ten which ought to be adequate for most applications. In case you need more gain, you can remove resistors R1 and R3.This will give a gain of about 100, or 40 dB.The input attenuation can be adjusted by the potentiometer which can be used as a volume control. The IC gain ought to be kept as low as necessary to accomplish full output, with the in put potentiometer and your signal source at maximum.

1 W Home Stereo Amplifier

Voltage Gain = 1+ R1/R2 = 1+R3/R4, however the maximum gain with no outside feedback is about 100, or 40dB. (GdB = 20log Gv)

This will keep the signal to noise ratio as high as feasible. Additional gain provided by the amplifier will reduce the S/N ratio by a similar amount, since the input noise figure is constant. Other values for R1 and R3 of between 1k and 10k ohm can be used if an intermediate gain level is necessary.

If driving a pair of headphones, you may also need a 100 ohm resistor in series with each output to reduce the output level, depending on headphone impedance & sensitivity. Make positive you start with the volume right down to check. Numerous headphones may be driven from the amplifier in the event you wish, since most headphones have at least 16 ohm impedance, or more often 32 ohm.

There are only a few outside parts, the IC contains most of the necessary circuitry. R1,R2 and R3,R4 are the feedback resistors. C1 provides power supply decoupling. C2 and C3 are the input coupling capacitors, which block any DC that might-be present on the inputs. C4,C5 block DC in the feed back circuit from the inverting inputs, and C6,C7 are the output coupling capacitors. C8, R5 and C9,R6 act as Nobel networks providing a high frequency load to maintain stability at frequencies where loud speaker inductive reactant may become excessive. The pot provides adjustable input level attenuation.

Simple 50W Electronic Amplifier Circuit Diagram

This Simple 50W Electronic Amplifier Circuit Diagram project is an IC amplifier module from ST Microelectronics, the TDA7294. It is intended for use as a top quality audio class AB amplifier in hi-fi applications. It's low noise and distortion, wide bandwidth and nice output current capability, enabling it to supply high power in to both four ohm and 8 ohm lots. It's both short circuit and thermal protection.

With the addition of a handful of parts and an appropriate power supply, this module will deliver over 50W RMS in to four or 8 ohms-with < 0.1% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and < 0.1% Inter-modulation Distortion (IMD). It is also suitable as a replacement power amp stage, or upgrade for plenty of existing amplifiers of between 30W-50W, provided they have an appropriate dual supply, & most do.

The Specifications of the electronic amplifier project there are:

D.C. Input : 35V
Output power : > 50W RMS, 4-8 ohm load.
Gain : 24 dB (30dB modification)
Input sensitivity : one.3V for 50W, 8 ohm
Signal-to-Noise ratio : > 95 dB, (>105 dBA)
Frequency response : approx. 20Hz - 200kHz, �3 dB
Slew rate : > 10V/uS
THD : < 0.01%, 1W-40W, 1kHz
IMD : < 0.01%, 1W

The maximum supply voltage of the IC is +/- 40V. However the maximum dissipation of the IC can be exceeded even at a lower voltage. Therefore the supply voltage used require not be over +/- 35V. This can be constructed using a 50V middle tapped-transformer, a diode bridge rated at 5A (min.) & a pair of electrolytic capacitors, as shown below. A lower secondary voltage transformer could even be used but the reduced DC voltage will lead to less power output in to 8 ohms. You can still receive 50W in to four ohms with only 24V supply rails.

A 36V C.T. transformer will give you approx +/- 25V rails. The-mains transformer used ought to be rated at a maximum of 80VA. In the event you require to run modules in a stereo amplifier you can use a common power supply. In this case the transformer ought to be rated at 150VA or greater.

 Simple 50W Electronic Amplifier Circuit Diagram



Electronic Amplifier Circuit Diagram Description

Most of the circuitry is contained within the IC module. The input signal is applied to pin three by capacitor C1 & low-pass filter R1/C2. The filter improves the pulse response & helps cease RF signals. The lower -3dB point is determined-by R2/C1 & R4/C3. This is about 20Hz for the values used. The upper -3dB point is over 200kHz. C7/C8 & C9/C10 provide additional power supply filtering or decoupling.

Simple 50W Electronic Amplifier Circuit Diagram


R3/R4 are the feedback resistors. The gain is 1+R3/R4 which is approx 16 times, or 24dB. In case you need to increase the input sensitivity you may alter the resistors to suit. Changing R3 to 22k would increase the gain to 30dB and lower the input-required for 50W in to 8 ohm, to 0.6V, without affecting performance much. In case you reduce the worth of R4 you will also need to increase C3 to maintain bass response, as this sets the feedback low frequency roll off.

Pin ten is a mute input and pin 9 provides a standby mode. Muting ought to always happen before standby mode is selected. Connecting these pins permanently to the supply rail ensures that the amplifier comes on immediately on power up. Any switch-on clicks may be eliminated by increasing the time constants of R5/C4 and R6/C5 if necessary.

Make definite that a heavy duty heat-sink rated at least one.4 degree C/W or better is used.

10 W Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram

This design is based on the 18 Watt Audio Amplifier, and was developed mainly to satisfy the requests of correspondents unable to locate the TLE2141C chip. It uses the widespread NE5532 Dual IC but, obviously, its power output will be comprised in the 9.5 - 11.5W range, as the supply rails cannot exceed ±18V.


10 W Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram



As amplifiers of this kind are frequently used to drive small loudspeaker cabinets, the bass frequency range is rather sacrificed. Therefore a bass-boost control was inserted in the feedback loop of the amplifier, in order to overcome this problem without quality losses. The bass lift curve can reach a maximum of +16.4dB @ 50Hz. In any case, even when the bass control is rotated fully counterclockwise, the amplifier frequency response shows a gentle raising curve: +0.8dB @ 400Hz, +4.7dB @ 100Hz and +6dB @ 50Hz (referred to 1KHz).

Notes:

  • Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.
  • Schematic shows left channel only, but C3, C4, IC1 and the power supply are common to both channels.
  • Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections.
  • A log type for P2 will ensure a more linear regulation of bass-boost.
  • Do not exceed 18 + 18V supply.
  • Q3 and Q4 must be mounted on heatsink.
  • D1 must be in thermal contact with Q1.
  • Quiescent current (best measured with an Avo-meter in series with Q3 Emitter) is not critical.
  • Set the volume control to the minimum and R3 to its minimum resistance.
  • Power-on the circuit and adjust R3 to read a current drawing of about 20 to 25mA.
  • Wait about 15 minutes, watch if the current is varying and readjust if necessary.
  • A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of J1, P1, C2, C3 &C4. Connect C9 to the output ground.
  • Then connect separately the input and output grounds to the power supply ground.

100W Guitar Power-Amplifier Circuit Diagram

The power amp board has remained unchanged since it was first published in 2002. It definitely is not broken, so there is no reason to fix it. The picture below shows a fully assembled board (obtainable as shown as M27). Using TIP35/36C transistors, the output stage is deliberately huge overkill. This ensures reliability under the most arduous stage conditions. No amplifier can be made immune from everything, but this does come close.

Guitar Power Amplifier Board

The power amp (like the earlier version) is loosely based on the 60 Watt amp historically in the past published (Project 03), but it's increased gain to match the preamp. Other modifications include the short circuit protection - the tiny groups of parts next to the bias diodes (D2 and D3). This new version is not massively different from the original, but has adjustable bias, and is designed to provide a "constant current" (i.e. high impedance) output to the speakers - this is achieved using R23 and R26. Note that with this arrangement, the gain will change depending on the load impedance, with lower impedance giving lower power amp gain. This is not a controversy, so may safely be ignored.

Ought to the output be shorted, the constant current output characteristic will provide an preliminary level of protection, but is not foolproof. The short circuit protection will limit the output current to a comparatively safe level, but a sustained short will cause the output transistors to fail if the amp is driven hard. The protection is designed not to operate under normal conditions, but will limit the peak output current to about 8.5 Amps. Under these conditions, the internal fuses (or the output transistors) will probably blow if the short is not detected in time.

Figure 2 - Power Amplifier

Figure two shows the power amp PCB parts - except for R26 which doesn't mount on the board. See Figure 1B to see where this ought to be physically mounted. The bias current is adjustable, & ought to be set for about 25mA dormant current (more on this later). The recommendation for power transistors has been changed to higher power devices. This will give improved reliability under sustained heavy usage.

As shown, the power transistors will have an simple time driving any load down to four ohms. In case you don't use the PCB (or are happy to mount power transistors off the board), you can use TO3 transistors for the output stage. MJ15003/4 transistors are high power, & will run cooler because of the TO-3 casing (lower thermal resistance). Watch out for counterfeits though! There's plenty of other high power transistors that can be used, & the amp is tolerant of substitutes (as long as their ratings are at least equal to the devices shown). The PCB can accommodate Toshiba or Motorola 150W flat-pack power transistors with relative ease - in case you desired to go that way. TIP3055/2966 or MJE3055/2955 may even be used for light or ordinary duty.

At the input finish (as shown in Figure 1B), there is provision for an auxiliary output, & an input. The latter is switched by the jack, so you can use the "Out" & "In" connections for an outside effects unit. Alternatively, the input jack can be used to connect an outside preamp to the power amp, disconnecting the preamp.

The speaker connections permit up to 8 Ohm speaker cabinets (giving four Ohms). Do not use less than four ohm lots on this amplifier - it is not designed for it, & won't give reliable service!

All the low value (i.e. 0.1 & 0.22 ohm) resistors must be rated at 5W. The 0.22 ohm resistors will get warm, so mount them away from other parts. Needless to say, I recommend using the PCB, as this has been designed for optimum performance, and the amp gives an excellent account of itself. So nice in fact, that it may even be used as a hi-fi amp, and it sounds excellent. In case you were to make use of the amp for hi-fi, the bias current ought to be increased to 50mA. Ideally, you would use better (faster / more linear) output transistors as well, but even with those specified the amp performs well indeed. This is largely because they are run at comparatively low power, and the extreme non-linearity effects would expect with only transistors do not occur because of the parallel output stage.

Make positive that the bias transistor is attached to of the drivers (the PCB is laid out to make this simple to do). A some quantity of heat sink compound as well as a cable tie will do the job well. The diodes are there to protect the amp from catastrophic failure ought to the bias servo be incorrectly wired (or set for maximum current). All diodes ought to be 1N4001 (or 1N400? - anything in the 1N400x range is fine). A heat sink is not needed for any of the driver transistors.

The life of a guitar amp is a hard, and I recommend that you use the largest heat sink you can afford, since it is common to have elevated temperatures on stage (chiefly due to all the lighting), and this reduces the safety margin that normally applies for domestic equipment. The heat sink ought to be rated at 0.5° C/Watt to permit for worst case long term operation at up to 40°C (this is not unusual on stage).

Make sure that the speaker connectors are isolated from the chassis, to keep the integrity of the earth isolation parts in the power supply, & to make sure that the high impedance output is maintained.

Simple 25W Audio Power Amplifier Circuit

This audio power amplifier project is based on LM1875 amplifier module from National Semiconductor. It can deliver up to 30W of power using an 8 ohm load & dual 30V DC power supplies. It is designed to operate with maximum outside parts with current limit & thermal shutdown protection features . Other features include high gain, quick slew rate, wide power supply range, giant output voltage swing & high current capability.

Summary of the audio amply-fire features:

  • Low distortion: 0.015%, 1 kHz, 20 W
  • Wide power bandwidth: 70 kHz
  • Wide supply range 16V-60V
  • Up to 30 watts output power
  • Internal output protection diodes
  • Protection for AC & DC short circuits to ground
  • 94 dB ripple rejection
  • Plastic power package TO-220
25V Power Supply

The schematic below shows how the +25V DC & -25V DC are obtained. In order to provide power supply for two stereo amplifiers, a power transformer rating of 80VA with 240V/36V middle tapped secondary winding is used. The secondary output of the transformer is rectified by using 1N5401 diodes together with four electrolytic capacitors to smoother the ripple voltage. A fuse & a varistor are connected at the primary input to protect the circuit against power surge.



Audio Amplifier Module

The +25V & -25V DC power supply are connected to the audio amplifier module through a 2A fuse with the peripheral devices shown in the schematic below. The audio input signal to be amplified is coupled to pin one of LM1875 through the resistor R1 and electrolytic capacitor E5.

The output signal at pin four of LM1875 can be used to directly drive a 8 ohm loudspeaker. Resistor R6 and capacitor C5 prevent-the capacitance developed at the long speaker leads from driving the amplifier in to High Frequency Oscillation.

A heat-sink with a thermal resistance rating of one.4 Cecilius/Watt or better must be used or else the amplifier module will-be cut-off from operation due to the heat that will build up in the coursework of the operation of the amplifier. Take note that the heat sink tab on the IC module is internally connected to the -25V power supply hence it must be isolated from the heat sink by the use of an insulating washer. If this is not done, the negative rail will be shorted to ground.

Simple Mock Alarm with Call Bell Circuit Diagram

Simple Mock Alarm with Call Bell Circuit Diagram is a fully automatic mock alarm to ward off any intruder to your house. The alarm becomes active at sunset and remains ‘on’ till morning. The flashing light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and beeps from the unit simulate the functioning of a sophisticated alarm system. Besides, the circuit turns on and off a lamp regularly at an interval of 30 minutes throughout the night. It also has a call bell facility.

The circuit is built around CMOS IC CD4060B (IC1), which has an internal oscillator and a 14-stage binary divider to provide a long delay without using a high-value resistor and capacitor.

Press switch S2 to provide 9V power supply to the circuit. During daytime, light-dependent resistor LDR1 offers little resistance and transistor T1 conducts. This drives transistor T2 into the cut-off mode, as its base is pulled to ground via transistor T1. Reset pin 12 of IC1 remains high as long as transistor T2 is cut off. This keeps the oscillator of IC1 (comprising resistors R5 and R6 and capacitor C1) disabled and its outputs remain low. The sensitivity of LDR1 can be adjusted using preset VR1.

 Simple Mock Alarm with Call Bell Circuit Diagram


Simple Mock Alarm with Call Bell Circuit Diagram


When the sunlight decreases in the evening, the resistance of LDR1 increases to cut off transistor T1. This drives transistor T2 into conduction mode and its collector voltage goes low. At the same time, reset pin 12 of IC1 goes low to enable the oscillator of IC1 and the oscillator starts oscillating. The O3 output (pin 7) of IC1 goes high every five seconds to light up the LEDs (LED1 and LED2) and activate the buzzer. Resistor R8 limits the tone produced from the buzzer.

At the same time, O13 output of IC1 (pin 3) goes high every 30 minutes to forward bias transistor T3 to energise relay RL1 and lamp L1 connected to the normally opened (N/O) contacts of relay RL1 glows. This cycle repeats till morning.

The call bell is built around IC 4822 (IC2). Its inbuilt musical tone generator generates different tones at each trigger. The frequency of the tone can be controlled through external components R11 and C2. The output at pin 11 of IC2 is amplified by transistor T4.

When push-to-on switch S1 is pressed once, trigger pin 4 of IC2 gets a positive trigger from the positive rail (reduced by zener diode to 3.3V) via resistor R10 and IC2 starts producing a melody. Resistor R10 limits the current to the trigger pin of IC2 and resistor R12 prevents any false triggering. Zener diode ZD1 provides the 3.3V required for IC 4822.

The circuit works off 9V regulated power supply. Assemble the circuit on any general-purpose PCB and enclose it in a waterproof plastic box with holes for mounting LEDs on the rear and the LDR on the top of the box. Place the LDR such that sunlight falls on it directly. Mount the unit on the pillar of the entrance gate. To avoid unnecessary illumination of the LDR, install lamp L1 away from the unit in the porch of the house. Keep the speaker inside the room.

Simple Low Distortion Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram

This is the Simple Low Distortion Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram. The circuit was designed and sold as a card by a purveyor of surplus components but, even using mostly manufacturer's rejected transistors, we managed to get about 0.02% total harmonic distortion at 30 watts with a ±25v power supply into 8 ohms.: no bad figure even in these days of MOSFET and ICs. In 1977 anything below 0.1% was considered excellent. And this figure was pretty repeatable without doing much selection. 

The problem of course is that since I haven't touched this amplifier for many a year I have absolutely no idea what modern transistor types one should use for it but they are not critical: output transistors and drivers need to be the correct type but the other transistors can be small signal types - as long as they can handle the full voltage between + and - supplies.

Simple Low Distortion Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram


Tr1 and Tr2 are a long-tailed pair (LTP to save typing). It is quite common to have a LTP in an audio amp but this is different: this is a complimentary LTP. As far as I am aware no one else had used a complimentary LTP at the time, though I have since seen it used in one other circuit. So I guess the circuit is unique to the author. One of the things that limits the performance of a conventional LTP is that the tail source loads the common emitters. In a complementary LTP this can't happen as there is no tail current source so that all the current of one transistor has to flow through the other.

Tr2's collector current flows into D1 and D2 which develop a voltage: this is used to bias Tr8 as a constant current source for Tr4's collector. The fact that Tr4 is working at a constant current defines its base-emitter voltage which must be developed across R4. This defines a current in R4 and this is the current that the LTP must operate at - so the ring of four transistors (Tr1, 2, 3, & 4) is self biasing and all transistors work at their best with minimum unwanted loads and biasing detracting from the performance. Tr4 is actually one of the most critical transistors: in the original circuit it was selected for Vce greater than 75v. Most Texas BC212s passed easily. Lower voltage transistors caused an increase in distortion level.

There is always a down side to any circuit: in the conventional LTP the base-emitter voltages tend to cancel each other out. In the complimentary LTP they add so there is a drop of about 1.2v between the two bases: this must be cancelled in the biasing chain and, since this circuit was designed for operation over a wide range of supply voltage, I had to be a little clever. Because of the constant current operation of the LTP and the constant voltage drop across D1 & D2, there is also a constant voltage across R14. This drop is used to lift up the bottom of the biasing chain (R1 and R11) so that the output sits at around half supply voltage, over a wider supply range.

D3 and D4 develop a bias voltage so that the output transistors are at the correct point, slightly conducting, to minimise crossover distortion.

The output transistors are complimentary (the original design used MJE2011 and MJE2021) and are driven by complimentary drivers: PNP driving NPN and vice versa. This arrangement is not only pleasingly symmetrical but gives better performance that the more common Darlington arrangement - the full gain of all the transistors is used and there is more internal feedback and less voltage drop.

The output current is monitored in the two resistors R7 and R22 (180 milliohms). The current limiting is unusual in that it works inside the input ring at an earlier stage than normal. This has an advantage that the current limiting transistors do not load the drive circuitry - which will introduce distortion. The slight down side is that there may be a slight tendency to oscillation when in current limit. R3 and R14 are necessary to restrict the current availability when the current limit engages. R5 and R19 are present to make the current limit vary with the voltage across the power transistors to avoid the second breakdown region of power transistors.

The points shown connecting terminals 1-2 and 6-7 are 'scratch-through tracks'. 1 and 2 are the power and signal earths: to keep distortion in a stereo system to a minimum the currents in these must never share the same path so in a stereo system four earth wires are run to the system's common earth point - a 'spider' common earth - and this means breaking the link. The link between 6 & 7 is in the feedback path and there are times when this can usefully be broken - one 'cheapskate' was to fit a tone control circuit here (see below). It works fine but is a bit of an insult to such a low-distortion design!. A third break point is in the collector of Tr2. Breaking this shuts down the amplifier completely and safely. Is a thermal switch is to be fitted, this is the place.

Overall negative feedback is in two parts: D.c. is fed back via R13: there is 100% d.c. feedback. A.c. feedback is via R12 and R17. Note the output capacitor is inside this feedback loop (speaker connects between terminal 5 and negative) which extends the low frequency response.

Another feature is the accessibility of both ends of the output coupling capacitor: being designed for a junk shop, they didn't want to use expensive capacitors! So for extra bass performance an additional capacitor can easily be connected.

The circuit can also be driven as a low input impedance: break 6-7, short pin 8 to C4's positive and apply input to pin 6. In this mode the input distortion is actually better: my original notes show as low as 0.01%!

When building a low-distortion amplifier, layout is vital. In fact to get distortion around 0.02% requires a lot of skill and experience. The problem is that the current in the output stage alternates between the two power transistors so is a 'rectified' version of the input. Now there is no such thing as a 'wire'. Any real piece of wire or copper track is a resistor with associated inductance and capacitance. If the high current, rectified output signal mixes in the same 'piece of wire' with the input signal the distortion in the rectified output current will feed into the input and cause the overall distortion to rocket. This is something which cannot properly be taught but has to be experienced. A skilled audio engineer will spend his lifetime learning about it.

Another interesting idea which is not shown is to fit a resistor between pin 3 and R18. This decreases the current at higher voltages and allows it to increase at low supply voltages. My notes show that this had a considerable advantage for low voltage operation because it increases the bias. It also is positive feedback which increase the open-loop voltage gain. It never got incorporated and I don't remember the details.

Tone controls

Tone controls

The circuit shows a simple (but effective) way of adding tone controls around the power amp. This does increase the distortion a little so it is not as 'hi-fi' a solution as a separate tone control stage, but it is simple and quite effective.

To use the tone controls you must break the link between 6 and 7 on the circuit. Also the 150K resistor, R13, should be decoupled. Replace it by two 68K resistors in series. The centre point of these two connects to the positive of a 1µ electrolytic whose negative connects to the earth (0v) line. This stops R13 acting as negative feedback which otherwise would shunt the tone controls.

32W Amplifier Circuit Diagram 

32W Amplifier Circuit Diagram


Notes:

This circuit is for a 32 Watt stereo audio power amplifier using the TDA20501. With a dual 22 Volt supply this amplifier can deliver 32W into 8 ohm loudspeakers. Moreover, the TDA 2050 delivers typically 50W music power into 4 ohm load over 1 sec at VS= 22.5V and f = 1KHz. The amplifier is cased as a Pentawatt package see pinout below:

TDA2050V

This is a power amplifier and requires 200mV RMS for full output. Voltage gain is 30.5dB with resistor values shown. Closed loop gain is set by Ratio R1/R2. Increase R2 for less gain and vice versa. Power bandwidth is 20Hz to 80KHz. R3, C3 and R6, C11 form a zobel network to prevent high frequency instability.

1 W Home Stereo Amplifier Circuits Diagram

This is a one watt home stereo amplifier module project using the KA2209 IC from Samsung, which is equivalent to the TDA2822. It operates from 3-12V DC & will work from a battery since the dormant current drain is low. It requires no heat sink for normal use. The input & output are both ground referenced. Maximum output will be obtained with a 12V power supply & 8 ohm speaker, however it is suitable for driving headphones from a supply as low as 3V.

The Specifications of the home stereo amplifier :

D.C. input : 3 – 12 V at 200 – 500 mA max
Idle current : approx. 10 mA
Power output : > 1 Watt max. 4-8 ohms, 12V DC
Freq. Resp. : approx. 40 Hz to 200 kHz, 8 ohm, G=10
THD : < 1 % @ 750 mW, 4-8 ohm, 12V
Gain : approx. x10 (20 dB) OR x100 (40dB)
S/N ratio : > 80 dB, G = 20 dB
Sensitivity : < 300 mV, G = 20 dB
Input Impedance : approx. 10 k ohm

Description 

The gain is adjustable from ten to 100, i.e. twenty to 40 dB. Start with feedback resistors R1 and R3 of 1k ohm, this will give a gain of ten which ought to be adequate for most applications. In case you need more gain, you can remove resistors R1 and R3.This will give a gain of about 100, or 40 dB.The input attenuation can be adjusted by the potentiometer which can be used as a volume control. The IC gain ought to be kept as low as necessary to accomplish full output, with the in put potentiometer and your signal source at maximum.

1 W Home Stereo Amplifier Circuit Diagram

1 W Home Stereo Amplifier


Voltage Gain = 1+ R1/R2 = 1+R3/R4, however the maximum gain with no outside feedback is about 100, or 40dB. (GdB = 20log Gv)

This will keep the signal to noise ratio as high as feasible. Additional gain provided by the amplifier will reduce the S/N ratio by a similar amount, since the input noise figure is constant. Other values for R1 and R3 of between 1k and 10k ohm can be used if an intermediate gain level is necessary.

If driving a pair of headphones, you may also need a 100 ohm resistor in series with each output to reduce the output level, depending on headphone impedance & sensitivity. Make positive you start with the volume right down to check. Numerous headphones may be driven from the amplifier in the event you wish, since most headphones have at least 16 ohm impedance, or more often 32 ohm.

There are only a few outside parts, the IC contains most of the necessary circuitry. R1,R2 and R3,R4 are the feedback resistors. C1 provides power supply decoupling. C2 and C3 are the input coupling capacitors, which block any DC that might-be present on the inputs. C4,C5 block DC in the feed back circuit from the inverting inputs, and C6,C7 are the output coupling capacitors. C8, R5 and C9,R6 act as Nobel networks providing a high frequency load to maintain stability at frequencies where loud speaker inductive reactant may become excessive. The pot provides adjustable input level attenuation.

Mini10 W Audio Amplifier

This design is based on the 18 Watt Audio Amplifier, and was developed mainly to satisfy the requests of correspondents unable to locate the TLE2141C chip. It uses the widespread NE5532 Dual IC but, obviously, its power output will be comprised in the 9.5 - 11.5W range, as the supply rails cannot exceed ±18V.

10 W Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram

10 W Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram



As amplifiers of this kind are frequently used to drive small loudspeaker cabinets, the bass frequency range is rather sacrificed. Therefore a bass-boost control was inserted in the feedback loop of the amplifier, in order to overcome this problem without quality losses. The bass lift curve can reach a maximum of +16.4dB @ 50Hz. In any case, even when the bass control is rotated fully counterclockwise, the amplifier frequency response shows a gentle raising curve: +0.8dB @ 400Hz, +4.7dB @ 100Hz and +6dB @ 50Hz (referred to 1KHz).

Notes:

  • Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.
  • Schematic shows left channel only, but C3, C4, IC1 and the power supply are common to both channels.
  • Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections.
  • A log type for P2 will ensure a more linear regulation of bass-boost.
  • Do not exceed 18 + 18V supply.
  • Q3 and Q4 must be mounted on heatsink.
  • D1 must be in thermal contact with Q1.
  • Quiescent current (best measured with an Avo-meter in series with Q3 Emitter) is not critical.
  • Set the volume control to the minimum and R3 to its minimum resistance.
  • Power-on the circuit and adjust R3 to read a current drawing of about 20 to 25mA.
  • Wait about 15 minutes, watch if the current is varying and readjust if necessary.
  • A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of J1, P1, C2, C3 &C4. Connect C9 to the output ground.
  • Then connect separately the input and output grounds to the power supply ground.

Build a18W Car Stereo Amplifier Circuit Diagram

This automobile stereo amplifier project is a class AB audio power amplifier using the Hitachi HA13118 module. It not only can be used in automobile application but also in any transportable or home amplifier process. It is simple to construct & has a maximum of outside parts. The module has a high power output from a low voltage supply using the bridge tied load system, & a high gain of 55dB.

This project will be useful in applications where the input signal is a low level, without requiring the use of a separate pre-amplifier. This IC module has a built in surge protection circuit, thermal shutdown circuit, ground fault protection circuit & power supply fault protection circuit making it reliable.
The Specifications of this project 
D.C. Input : 8 – 18V at 1-2 A

Power output : 18W maximum, 4 ohm load, 18V DC supply

S/N ratio : > 70 dB

THD : < 0.2% @ 1W

Freq. Response : ~ 30 Hz to 30 kHz, –3 dB

Input level : < 25 mV, for full output (G > 50dB)

Input Impedance : ~ 30 k ohm

The supply voltage necessary for this project is 8 -18V DC, at least one to two Amps. Maximum output power will only be obtained with a power supply of 18V at greater than two A, using a four ohm speaker. The power supply ought to be well filtered to reduce mains hum, a regulated supply will reduce noise even further. Additional filtering is unnecessary if operating from a battery supply.

Circuit Diagram Description

Most of the circuitry is contained within the amplifier module. C10 is the input coupling capacitor and blocks DC from the input. C11 bypasses any RF which may be present at the input. C1 & C2 provide an AC ground for the inverting inputs of the IC. R1/C7 and R2/C8 provide a high frequency load for stability with difficult speakers. C five & C six provide bootstrap feedback for the IC. C9 & C12 provide power supply filtering.

Build a18W Car Stereo Amplifier Circuit Diagram

An externally mounted logarithmic potentiometer of between 10k ohm and 50k ohm, is used depending on the desired input impedance. The impedance ought to be keep as high as feasible for a guitar amp, unless using a separate pre-amp. Make sure-that the heat sink is mounted to the module.
