    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
