HI-FI 30W Audio Power Amplifier using LM1875 IC + PCB

Figure 1 - PCB Hi-Fi 30W Power Amplifier LM1875

The amplifier presented, is a hi-fi amplifier based on the Integrated Circuit LM1875, which is a monolithic power amplifier offering very low distortion and high-quality performance for consumer audio applications.

General Description

The LM1875 delivers 20 watts into a 4Ω or 8Ω load on ±25V supplies. Using an 8Ω load and ±30V supplies, over 30 watts of power may be delivered.

The LM1875 is a wide power amplifier with very low distortion and high-quality efficiency for audio applications, the amplifier is designed to operate with a minimum of external components.

Device overload protection consists of both internal current limit and thermal shutdown.

Power Dissipation and Heat Sink

The LM1875 must always be operated with a heat sink, even when it is not required to drive a load. Assumes the use of a heat sink having a thermal resistance of 1°C/W and no insulator with an ambient temperature of 25°C. 

Because the output limiting circuitry has a negative temperature coefficient, the maximum output power delivered to a 4Ω load may be slightly reduced when the tab temperature exceeds 55°C.
