Fig. 1 - PCB 70W Power Amplifier TDA2050

HI-FI 32W Audio Amplifier – TDA2050 – Simple PS + PCB

In today's post we'll build a High Fidelity Stereo power Amplifier that provides 70W RMS - with two TDA2050 Integrated Circuits.

The TDA2050 Integrated Circuits

The TDA2050 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a Pentawatt® package, intended for use as a low frequency Class AB amplifier. Typically, it provides 35W RMS output power with 4 Ohm load, THD = 10%, VS = ± 18V, F = 1KHz, and up to 32W RMS with 8 Ohm load, THD = 10%, VS = ± 22V, F = 1KHz.

You might also be interested in:

The TDA2050 - provides the high current output and very low harmonic distortion, it incorporates a short circuit protection system, an arrangement to automatically limit the dissipated energy, in order to keep the working point of the output transistors within their safe area of ​​operation, that is, a conventional thermal shutdown system.

SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION

The TDA2050 has an original circuit that limits the current of the internal output transistors, the maximum output current is a function of the voltage of the collector-emitter; hence the output transistors work within their safe operating area. 

This function can therefore be considered to be a peak power limitation, rather than a simple current limitation. It reduces the possibility of the device being damaged during an accidental short circuit at the output.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN

The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the following advantages:

• An overload at the outlet (even if it is permanent), or an ambient temperature above the limit can be easily supported, as the Tj cannot exceed 150 ° C.
• The heat sink may have a lower safety factor compared to that of a conventional circuit. There is no possibility of damage to the device due to the high junction temperature. If for some reason, the junction temperature increases up to 150 ° C, the thermal shutdown simply reduces the power dissipation in the current consumption.
• The maximum allowed energy dissipation depends on the size of the external heat sink (i.e. thermal resistance); this power is dissipated depending on the ambient temperature for different thermal resistance.

The proposed circuit is a stereo power amplifier, it has two input channels and two output channels, and its schematic diagram is shown in Figure 2 below, and as we can see, it is the same circuit as the 35W amplifier, but it is duplicated making it stereo. 

The circuit is quite simple and can be easily assembled even by people who do not have so much experience in assembling electronic circuits, however, it is necessary to have knowledge of electronics.

56W RMS Hi-FI Amplifier using LM3875 Integrated Circuit + PCB

For Portuguese version, click here! 

High-performance Hi-FI Audio Amplifier, capable of producing excellent audio quality, using the LM3875 integrated circuit.

The LM3875 is a high-performance power audio amplifier capable of delivering 56W of continuous power at 8Ω load with 0.1% THD + N from 20Hz to 20KHz.

The LM3875 features an instantaneous temperature protection circuit with auto peak (° Ke) (SPiKe), which puts it in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers, inherently providing a safe operating area (SOA) dynamically protected by the circuits.

SPiKe protection, this means that the entire circuit is completely protected at the output against over-voltage, under-voltage, overloads caused by shorted outputs, thermal leaks, and instantaneous temperature spikes.

The LM3875 maintains an excellent signal-to-noise transient rate above 95dB (min), with a typical low noise level of 2.0μV. It displays extremely low THD + N values ​​of 0.06% at the rated output into the rated and provides excellent linearity with a typical IMD (SMPTE) rating of 0.004%.

Features of LM3875

• 56W continuous average output power at 8Ω
• 100W instantaneous peak output capacity
• Signal-to-noise ratio> 95dB (min)
• Short-circuit protection to the ground or, to supplies via internal current limiting circuit
• Output overvoltage protection against inductive load transients
• Provides protection against under-voltage, not allowing internal polarization when | V + | + | V− | ≤ 12V, thus eliminating the activation transients are deactivated
• 11 Lead PFM Package
• Wide supply voltage range: | V + | + | V− | = 20V to 84V
• Total harmonic distortion (THD) less than 0.03% in the frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz

Power Supply Circuit

The power supply provided by a transformer AC,  which can be elaborated through a 28-0-28Vac,  with 5 Ampers current, which after going through the rectification, will be delivered in the supply range around +/- 40Vdc.

As we saw in the characteristics of the LM3875 above, it has a wide range of supply voltage, which we can use a lower voltage or higher voltage source, we can do with what we have on our bench.

In Figure 2 below, we have the schematic diagram of the 56W Hi-End Amplifier with the LM3875 CI.

Power Dissipation and Heat Sink

The LM1875 must always be operated with a heat sink, even when it is not required to drive a load. Assumes the use of a heat sink having a thermal resistance of 1°C/W and no insulator with an ambient temperature of 25°C.
