    160W High Fidelity Amplifier using Mosfet 2SK1058 and 2SJ162 with PCB

    Fig. 1- 160W High Fidelity Amplifier using Mosfet 2SK1058 and 2SJ162 with PCB

    This is a High Fidelity power amplifier, which uses 2 pairs of complementary MOSFETs output transistors, 2SK1058 and 2SJ162, which gives us a 160W power output. 

    The circuit is simple to assemble, assuming you have advanced knowledge in electronics, you will be able to assemble this circuit without too much difficulty.

    Basic operation of the circuit

    This amplifier has a few many steps, and we could break down each component, but it would certainly be too long, so let's explain the main stage of the amplifier process. 

    The 160W High Fidelity Amplifier circuit diagram is shown in Figure 2 below. It uses 4 output Mosfet power transistors, 2 transistors for the positive cycle and 2 transistors for the negative cycle.
    Fig. 2 - Schematic Circuits 160W High Fidelity Amplifier using Mosfet 2SK1058 and 2SJ162

    We will start with first Stage: 

    It is formed by a pair of MPSA56 PNP transistors, they form the input of the differential amplifier. 
    The main characteristic is to amplify the difference of the input signals without amplifying the common mode signal.

    In the second stage:

    We have two pairs of transistors, 2 NPN BD139 transistors and 2 PNP TIP140 transistors, they constitute a differential current source pair formed by the BD139 transistors pair. And with a current mirror formed by the BD140 transistors pair, in Cascade mode creating a telescopic amplifier stage.

    In the third stage:

    It is formed by the 4 Output MOSFETs transistors, two N-channel type transistors 2SK1058 and other two P-channel type transistors 2SJ162. They receive the signal from stage 2 which is a module in Cascade, as already explained, and deliver to the output load, formed by the speaker.

    The output transistors should be equipped with a Heat Sink, and should be electrically separated with thermal insulators.

    Power Supply

    The power supply is a symmetrical source, +Vdc GND -Vdc, and must contain a current capable of supporting the total power of the Amplifier.

    If the circuit is used in MONO mode "One channel", the recommended current is 4 Amperes. If a STEREO version "Two channels" is used, the current should be doubled to 8 Amperes.

    The amplifier work voltage is ±45Vdc SYMMETRICAL, to be used with an output load between 4 to 8 ohms.

    In Figure 3 below, we have a suggestion for a power supply that we use in our projects. In this article, besides having the schematic diagram with the Printed Circuit Board, you will understand how to easily calculate your own Power Supply, with the desired voltage.

    Powerful Mini Audio Amplifier using only 5 Transistors with PCB

    Fig 1 -  Powerful Mini Audio Amplifier using only 5 Transistors with PCB

    This is a simple amplifier that uses only 5 transistors, and provides good power, by our tests, we get close to 90W, and amazingly enough, it has a very good sound given its ultra simplicity.

    The circuit is quite simple, and very easy to building, which makes it a great option for those who want to build an amplifier with good power and great cost, because it uses discrete components, cheap and easy to acquire.

    You might also be interested in:

    The Amplifier Circuit

    The amplifier circuit is very simple to assemble, as shown in Figure 2 just below, this amplifier is divided into three basic stages: 

    • The first is the pre-amplification stage: It is formed by a differential pair set of NPN 2N5551 transistors, they are working as differential pair, which gives a very good stability in the signal sent to the next stage.

    • The second is the driver stage: it is formed by the PNP TIP42 transistor, it is used as a current amplifier and serves to drive the output stage.

    • The third is the power stage: It is formed by a pair of differential power transistors, one is the NPN 2SC5200 and the other is the 2SA1943, they are in push-pull mode, configured to work in class AB, with base BIAS diodes.
    • Fig. 2 - Schematic diagram Powerful Mini Audio Amplifier using only 5 Transistors

    Note

    Place the power transistors on a heat-sink, because since you work with power, they will get hot, a small size radiator will help.

    For those who like loud sound, to really force the amplifier to the maximum, it is recommended to put the BIAS diodes in series, on the heat sink along with the transistors. This will cause the base voltage to be controlled according to the temperature of the transistors.

    Power Supply

    The power is supplied through a 24 VAC transformer, after rectification the supply will provide 35 VDCThe current to power this amplifier is at least 3A, for those mounting two of these to form a stereo pair, you should double the current to 6 Amps.

    High Performance 56W Audio Power Amplifier using LM3876 IC with PCB

    Fig. 1 - High Performance 56W Audio Power Amplifier using LM3876 IC with PCB

    This is a High Performance 56W Audio Power Amplifier, based on the LM3876 Integrated Circuit, with great sound quality, powered by a symmetrical power supply.

    The Amplifier responds very well in all audible frequency ranges from 20Hz to 20Khz, and has a minimalistic and very compact design, which makes this amplifier a good choice to be assembled with little difficulty.

    LM3876 Integrated Circuit Description

    The LM3876 is a high-performance audio power amplifier capable of delivering 56W of continuous average power to an load with 0.1% THD+N from 20Hz–20kHz.

    The performance of the LM3876, utilizing its Self Peak Instantaneous Temperature (°Ke) (SPiKe) protection circuitry, puts it in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers by providing an inherently, dynamically protected Safe Operating Area (SOA) SPiKe protection. 

    Means that these parts are completely safe-guarded at the output against overvoltage, under-voltage, overloads, including shorts to the supplies, thermal runaway, and instantaneous temperature peaks.

    The LM3876 maintains an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 95dB (min) with a typical low noise floor of 2.0μV. It exhibits extremely low THD+N values of 0.06% at the rated output into the rated load over the audio spectrum, and provides exceptional linearity with an IMD (SMPTE) typical rating of 0.004%.

    Feature

    • 56W Continuous Average Output Power into 8Ω
    • 100W Instantaneous Peak Output Power Capability
    • Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 95 dB(Min)
    • An Input Mute Function
    • Output Protection from a Short to Ground or to the Supplies Via Internal Current Limiting Circuitry
    • Output Over-Voltage Protection against Transients from Inductive Loads
    • Supply Under-Voltage Protection, not Allowing Internal Biasing to Occur when |VEE| + |VCC| ≤ 12V, thus Eliminating Turn-On and Turn-Off Transients
    • 11-Lead TO-220 Package
    • Wide Supply Range 20V - 94V

    The Schematic Circuit

    In Figure 2 below we have components arrangement of the power amplifier circuit with the LM3876 IC, and as we can see, the difficulty is not extreme. 

    Since there are few external components, making the amplifier circuit very simple to assemble, and a technician or hobbyist with medium experience can assemble it without much difficulty. 

    Fig. 2 - Schematic Circuit High Performance 56W Audio Power Amplifier using LM3876 IC

    It is important to remember to be careful when assembling the circuit, not to invert any component such as capacitor diodes, or even when connecting the symmetrical voltage of the power supply. Not to invert the voltage poles, because the integrated circuit or other components can be damaged.

    The coil is formed is a 5uH coil, for those who are going to assemble it, you can assemble it with 10 turns of 18 AWG Wire with a 3/8" air core.

    Power Supply

    Power is supplied through a 24 VAC transformer with center tape, i.e. [+VAC | GND | -VAC], after rectification the source will supply 35 VDC

    It is a standard power supply voltage for this amplifier to work with little heating and little distortion, as it works with a minimum of 18V and a maximum of 84V

    The current to power this amplifier is of at least 2A, and if it is going to using in stereo mode, two of these same ones, this current has to be doubled to 4 Amperes

    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.

    You might also be interested in:

    This is a high efficiency and high power amplifier, powered by a simple 14.4V power supply, can provide a power of 70W in , using the TDA1562Q Integrated Circuit.

    The TDA1562Q IC is a monolithic Class H power amplifier in Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) mode in a 17-lead DIL-folded-SIL plastic package.

    The device can be used for general-purpose audio systems, however, given its low operating voltage, between 8V and 18V.

    We can use it in: Car Sound, Subwoofer Boxes, as well as applications powered by a DC power supply connected to the mains, such as: speaker system, guitar amplifier, TV Sound, or in portable audio like Boombox, Etc.

    Features

    • Very high output power, operating from a single low supply voltage
    • Low power dissipation, when used for music signals

    170W AB Class Bridge Mode Amplifier using TDA7294 IC + PCB

    Fig. 1 - 170W AB Class Bridge Mode Amplifier using TDA7294 IC + PCB

    Para Versão em Português, Clique Aqui!

    This is a Class AB Audio Power Amplifier, it uses two TDA7294 Integrated Circuits, in Bridge Mode to drive one or more power speakers.

    The circuit provides a total output power of 170W, and this with good sound quality, powered from a symmetrical power supply.

    The Amplifier responds very well to all audible frequency ranges, and has a minimalist, compact design, which makes this amplifier a good choice for an unprecedented range of application. 

    IC Description

    The TDA7294 is  a monolithic integrated circuit in Multiwatt15  package, intended  for  use  as  audio class   AB   amplifier   in   Hi-Fi   field   applications (Home Stereo, self powered loudspeakers, guitar amplifier, Top-class TV). 

    Thanks to the wide voltage range and to the high out current capability it is able to supply the highest power into both 4Ω and 8Ω loads even in  presence of  poor supply regulation, with high Supply Voltage Rejection.

    The  built  in  muting  function  with  turn  on  delay simplifies the remote operation avoiding switching on-off noises.

    You might also be interested in:

    The main Advantages offered by Bridge solution

    • High power performance with voltage level limiting supply.
    • Considerably high output power, even at high load values (i.e. 16 Ohm).
    • For a Speaker with 8Ω, Vs = ± 25V, the maximum output power obtained is 150 W, while with a Speaker with 16Ω, Vs = ± 35V, the maximum power is 170 W.

    Features

    • Operating Voltage Range (± 10V to ±40V)
    • DMOS Output Stage
    • High Output Power (Up to 100W musical)
    • Muting / Stand-By Functions
    • No Switch On/Off Noise
    • No Boucherot Cells
    • Very Low Distortion
    • Very Low noise 
    • Short-circuit protection
    • Thermal shutdown

    Bridge Application

    Our amplifier is configured in Bridge mode, where two TDA7294s ICs are used. With this type of configuration we get a pretty significant 170W of power, however there are two different configurations: 

    For 8Ω Speaker - Vs = ± 25V, the maximum output power is 150 W.
    For 16Ω Speaker - Vs = ± 35V, the maximum power is 170 W.

    We know that the TDA7294, supports or speakers in mono version, however, for this application in Bridged configuration, the speaker impedance shouldn't be less than for reasons of dissipation and current carrying capacity of the Integrated Circuits.

    The Schematic Circuit

    In Figure 2 below we have the arrangement of the components of the amplifier circuit with the two TDA7294 ICs, and as we can see, the difficulty is not extreme.

    Since there are few external components, making the amplifier circuit very simple to assemble, and a technician or hobbyist with average experience can assemble it without much difficulty. 

    It is important to remember to be careful when assembling the circuit, not to invert any component such as capacitor diodes, or even when connecting the symmetrical voltage of the power supply.

    Not to invert the voltage poles, because the integrated circuit or other components can be damaged.

      • Other ........................... PCB, Wires, Speaker, etc.

    Power Supply

    The power supply will depend on which output power you will choose, which will also depend on how many Ohms your speaker will have. We have two versions:

    Version 1 - 150W output.

    • Speaker must be 8Ω and the maximum voltage is for ±25V

    Version 2 - 170W output.

    • Speaker must be 16Ω and the maximum voltage is ±35V.

    Remember that for both versions a Symmetrical power supply is used, i.e. [ +VCC | GND | -VCC ]. With a current of at least 6 Amperes.

    HI-FI 120W RMS Amplifier Circuit using LM4780 IC + PCB

    Fig. 1 - HI-FI 120W RMS Amplifier Circuit using LM4780 IC

    This is a HI-FI Audio Amplifier circuit with high quality with a large frequency response, using the Integrated Circuit LM4780 which is a stereo audio amplifier. 

    Capable of providing normally 60W per channel of average power of continuous output on an load with less than 0.5% THD + N from 20Hz to 20kHz.

    LM4780 General Description

    The LM4780 is fully protected utilizing National’s Self Peak Instantaneous TemperatureKe) (SPiKeTM) protection circuitry. 

    SPiKe provides a dynamically optimized Safe Operating Area (SOA). SPiKe protection completely safeguards the LM4780’s outputs against over-voltage, under-voltage, overloads, shorts to the supplies or GND, thermal runaway and instantaneous temperature peaks. 

    The advanced protection features of the LM4780 places it in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers.

    Each amplifier of the LM4780 has an independent smooth transition fade-in/out mute. The LM4780 can easily be configured for bridge or parallel operation for 120W mono solutions.

    Key Specifications

    • Output Power/Channel with 0.5% THD+N, 1kHz into 8Ω 60W (typ)
    • THD+N at 2 x 30W into 8Ω (20Hz - 20kHz) 0.03% (typ)
    • THD+N at 2 x 30W into 6Ω (20Hz - 20kHz) 0.05% (typ)
    • THD+N at 2 x 30W into 4Ω (20Hz - 20kHz) 0.07% (typ)
    • Mute Attenuation 110dB (typ)
    • PSRR 85dB (min)
    • Slew Rate 19V/µs (typ

    The Circuit

    In Figure 2 below, we have the arrangement of the amplifier circuit components with the LM4780 IC, and as we can see, there are few external components. 

    It is making the amplifier circuit very simple to assemble, one must be careful when assembling the circuit, so as not to invert any component, as it may suffer circuit burnout.

    Fig. 2 - Schematic diagram of Hi-Fi Amplifier 120W RMS with IC LM4780

    Features

    • SPiKe protection
    • Few external components
    • Silent fade-in / mute out mode
    • Wide range of supply voltage: 20V - 84V
    • Signal-to-noise ratio ≥ 97dB (ref. for PO = 1W)

    Power Supply

    The power supply is a +-35V symmetric power supply. If you want to use it in stereo mode with two channels, it will be necessary to use twice the current to support the power of 240W, 120W per channel.

    The power supply must have a good filter to avoid roaring, interference, and oscillations in the amplifier output.

    The consumption current for a channel "One integrated circuit", must be 4 amps, if using two circuits, in stereo mode, the current must be doubled, in this case 8 amps.

    The LM4780 must be equipped with a heatsink, if you use the IC without the heatsink, it will burn out.

    It is recommended to tinker the voltage and output tracks, since the IC has a tight pinout, making it impossible to widen the tracks on the PCB.
