440W Class-AB Mosfet Power Amplifier with IRFP9240 / IRFP240 + PCB

440W Class AB Power Amplifier
440W Class AB Power Amplifier using Mosfet IRFP9240 and IRFP240 Transistors with PCB

This is a high performance power amplifier, which despite its simplicity in construction, in tests performed, it presented parameters with great results, very close to what we call a HI-FI amplifier.

🔌 The Circuit Works

The complexity of the circuit is at an advanced level, it is not recommended for those who don’t have experience in electronics and in assembling amplifier circuits, you must have minimal knowledge at an advanced level to assemble this type of power amplifier.

The circuit diagram of the power amplifier is shown in Figure 2 below. It uses 8 output Mosfet power transistors, 4 transistors for the positive cycle and 4 transistors for the negative cycle.

The input circuit consists of a TL431 Op-Amp, it is used as a feed-forward preamplifier for driver circuit units that produce a primary voltage gain at the output stage.

The circuit is divided into 2 identical half-cycles: one side for the positive half-wave of the signal fed through driver transistor Q1 NPN BD139, which feeds the output transistors (Q3, Q5, Q7, Q9) P-Channel IRFP9240, other side for the negative half-wave of the signal fed through driver transistor Q2 PNP BD140, which feeds the output transistors (Q4, Q6, Q8, Q10) N-Channel IRFP240.
