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.

    Simple 100W Power Amplifier using TIP142 NPN and TIP147 PNP transistors + PCB

    Fig 1 - PCB 100W Power Amplifier - TIP142 and TIP147 Transistors

    This is a low complexity amplifier, which can be easily assembled by anyone who has basic knowledge in electronics.

    This amplifier works with a Class B output stage with a complementary output pair formed by the TIP142 and TIP147 Darlington Transistors.

    Operation

    The input stage, is formed by a differential pair Q1 and Q2, which are two PNPs A733 transistors, the Q1 transistor receive the input signal for amplification, and Q2 receives the Feedback signal.

    Thus assembling a signal loop making with the differential amplifier to control the signal giving stability to the amplifier and avoiding distortion in the circuit.

    The second stage consists of a TIP41 transistor, which functions as a Drive, which receives the signal from the differential pair and amplifies it to delivery a sufficient current at the base of the output transistors.
    This amplifier has an output power of approximately 100 watts, to get this output power will depend on the Power Supply voltage, with a supply voltage of + 50V / - 50V, with a current of 3A.

    In our tests, it was possible to get a little more than 100W. The schematic diagram circuit, is in Figure 2 below, it is a very simple circuit to build, with few external components.

    However, be careful, it works with a total voltage of 90V, be careful not to change any component polarity, don't short the amplifier circuit.
    Fig 2 - Schematic Simple 100W Power Amplifier with  TIP142 NPN and TIP147 PNP transistors

    Power supply

    The power supply for this circuit amplifier is symmetrical, in our tests a Transformer with a +36V 0V -36V AC, center-tape was used, with a current 3 Amperes, after the CA voltage goes through the rectification, it will average 50V DC.

    200W RMS Power Amplifier using 2SC2500 AND 2SA1943 transistors + PCB

    Fig. 1 - 200W RMS Power Amplifier using 2SC2500 AND 2SA1943 transistors


    This Power Amplifier have a moderate sound quality, and it's a simple circuit to assemble, using 4 complementary output transistors, 2 x NPN 2SC2500 and 2 x PNP 2SA1943

    This amplifier is quite common to find and it has a good sound quality, uses specific power transistors for audio, making these amplifiers a good circuit amplifier to building.


    This is a power amplifier, posted by our partner fvml.com.br, we are authorized to replicate any post, so we took these posts from them and implemented the volume control and changed the layout a little. This partnership allows us to do this, and they are also free to repost our posts.

    The circuit is supplied with a symmetrical power supply and can be supplied with a voltage between 30V to 65V, for greater performance you must use the 60V, with at least current 4 Amperes.

    The schematic diagram is shown in Figure 2 below, it is a simple amplifier, and often found on the internet for sale, it has a good quality and complies with the promised power.
    Fig. 2 - 200W RMS Power Amplifier with 2SC2500 and 2SA1943

    Power supply

    The power supply for this circuit amplifier is symmetrical, in our tests a Transformer with a 42V - 0 - 42V center-tape was used, with a 5 Amperes current, you can use a lower current, up to 4 Amps minimum, which will play perfectly.

    Nothing prevents you from using a lower voltage, as this amplifier has a tolerance regarding its supply voltage, and can normally play "with loss in output power" with voltages ranging from 24V to 60V without too many problems.

    50W RMS Audio Amplifier with IRF530 and IRF9530 Mosfet + PCB

    Fig. 1 - PCB 50W Audio Amplifier

    For Portuguese version, click here!

    This circuit amplifier is very simple to building, however, although simple, it has an excellent audio quality, and with just two output transistors, it reaches a sound power of 50W RMS under load of 8 ohms, which is enough for a great home sound system, or for speakers for musical instruments ... the possibilities are endless.

    The first stage of the amplifier is a differential amplifier based on the transistors Q1 and Q2. Capacitor C2 is the input DC decouple, R1 limits the input current and capacitor C1 deflects unwanted high frequencies.

    You might also be interested in:

    The second stage is the drive stage composed of the transistor Q3 BC546, which supplies the output power stage, and the transistor Q4 is the bias regulating transistor, which, through the PR1 trimpot, adjusts the quiescent current in the transistors.

    The output stage is a complementary push-pull stage based on the IRF530 and IRF9530 MOSFETs. The output is coupled to the speaker using the L1 inductor

    The network composed in series by hairs, resistor R14 and capacitor C5, is intended to reduce output noise. And Capacitors C6 and C7 are power supply voltage filters. 

    For coil L1: Wrap 12 turns of enameled copper wire in a 1cm diameter without core.

    A Heatsink is required for MOSFETs. That should have the average dimensions of 8x4x4 inches will already work without problems.

    You can check the schematic diagram in Figure 2 below.

    Fig. 2 - 50 Watt Amplifier Circuit Diagram

    Power Supply

    The power supply consists of a symmetrical transformer 35Vcc - 0 - 35V center tape, with a current of 3 Amperes, a lower current, up to 2 Amperes minimum, can be used, which will play without any problems. 

    Nothing prevents you from using a higher or lower voltage, as this amplifier has a tolerance for the supply voltage, and can normally play "with small attenuations in the output power" with voltages ranging from 27V to 40V without too many problems.

    It also has great stability and we can use, if you have, a SMPS power supply, and this is clear with Center-Tape, that is to say a power supply with central socket.
