This amplifier circuit can be used for virtually any type of application that requires an amplifier of high performance, low noise and low distortion, and excellent sound quality.

It uses 4 power transistors on the output; two NPN transistors MJL4281 and two PNP MJL4302, forming a double pair of complementary transistors.

And a low harmonic distortion, which makes a transistor exceptional for high power operation and audio quality.

The Circuit

The complexity of the circuit is at an advanced level, it is not recommended for those who do not 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 schematic diagram of the complete circuit, shown in Figure 2 below, is a very robust amplifier, with great sound quality, and very stable, responding very well at all audible frequencies, with little attenuation in the auditory frequency range 20Hz to 20Khz.

    This IC is explicitly designed for mains powered amplifier circuits, such as stereo radio, instrument return box, TV sets and so on.

    The TDA2616 IC has a good input gain balance on both channels in accordance with IEC 268 and DIN 45500 standards.

    In addition, the TDA2616 has a special integrated circuit for the suppression of noise signals at the inputs during activation and deactivation, which avoids clicking sounds or the famous popping during circuit operation.

      5W Stereo Audio Amplifier Circuit using TEA2025 IC + PCB

      In this article, we show you how to build a simple and portable 5W stereo audio amplifier using the TEA 2025 Integrated Circuit.

      This circuit built based on TEA2025 IC which is a monolithic integrated audio amplifier in a 16-pin plastic dual in line package manufactured by UTC

      The circuit has Internal Thermal Protector. It is designed for portable cassette players, mp3 players and radios. 

      You can also use it as your smartphone or PC audio amplifier. This circuit requires 9V power supply to work, you may use a power supply circuit with output 9V 500mA DC current or a 9V lead acid battery.

      Features

      • The power supply voltage range is from 3V to 15V.
      • Working Voltage down to 3V
      • Few External components
      • Dual or Bridge Connection Modes
      • High Channel isolation
      • Very low switch On/Off Noise
      • Voltage gain up to 45dB(Adjustable with external resistor)
      • Soft clipping
      • Internal Thermal protection

      Working Explanation

      This amplifier, in the configuration presented in this article, is 2 channels, has an output power of 2.5 watts per channel.

      For those who want to use a single channel, you can be using it in bridge mode, and you will have an output power of 5W.

      Input Capacitor

      The input capacitor is PNP type, allowing the source to be referenced to ground. In this way, no input coupling capacitor is required. 

      However, a series capacitor (0.22 uF)to the input side can be useful in case of noise due to variable resistor contact.

      Bootstrap

      The bootstrap connection allows increasing the output swing. The suggested value for the bootstrap capacitors (100uF) avoids a reduction of the output signal also at low frequencies and low supply voltages.

      This amplifier in this 2-channel configuration, has an output power of 2.5 watts per channel, and you may be using it in bridge mode, and you will have an output of 5W.

      Power supply

      The power supply is direct current, "Vdc", the voltage supported by this amplifier is up to 15V, with a peak current of 1.5 amps.

      The voltage input pin is located on pin 16 of  TEA2025 IC, while pins 4, 5, 9, 13, 12 are grounded to GND.

      Power supplies

      For lovers of amplifiers with IC, it is best to have a simple power supply, because many have simple variable test bench sources that make testing much easier, in addition to an audio amplifier power for the car, we will necessarily have the simple power supply.

      Since this amplifier operates at low voltage, the consumption is quite high. According to Ohm's law, we can calculate this current as follows, using the formula.
      P = V * I

      Where;
      • P = power, V = voltage, I = current.
      Soon;
      • I = P / V
      • I = 180/14.4
      • I = 12.5 A
      Due to the high current consumption indicated in the above formula, the connections to ground and to the power supply must be made with extreme care.

      In car radios, the heat sink is small, but it is in contact with the radio housing, which is made of metal, which greatly facilitates heat dissipation.

      For home amplifiers, which are usually in constant use, a good heat sink should be used. "It depends on how you are going to use it," you say, putting a cooler on the heatsink like the ones used in ATX computers.

      Power Supply

      This amplifier is powered by a single positive and negative voltage power supply and has a supply voltage range that varies with a minimum voltage of 8V and a maximum voltage of 18V

      The typical working voltage with no load on the integrated circuit is 14.4V.

      The power supply must have a current of at least 5 amps to be used in mono mode, when mounted in stereo version, "two channels", the current must be doubled, and it must also be provided with a good filtering to avoid a ripples system that can cause noise in the amplifier.

      The working impedance value of this amplifier to reach its total power is 4 ohms, but we can also set it to 8 ohms, but then we will not get the maximum power from the amplifier.
