100W RMS Audio Amplifier using TDA7294 IC + PCB

Fig. 1 - Printed Circuit Board Amplifier 100W with TDA7294



We'll assemble an excellent power amplifier, with excellent sound quality, with 100W RMS output power, with symmetrical power supply. The circuit has a wide range in the supply voltage, and we will be providing the printed circuit board for you to download.

Integrated Circuit

The TDA7294 is an Integrated Circuit with Class AB audio output, it has its Multiwatt encapsulation. It was specifically designed for high quality sound applications, such as: home micro-systems, guitar cubes, high-end televisions. 

Thanks to the wide voltage range and the high current capacity, it's able to provide the highest power in loads of 8 ohms or 4 ohms, even with low supply voltage input, with high voltage rejection circuit.

The built-in locking function with activation delay simplifies remote operation, avoiding noisy changes when pressing the On/Off button.

Characteristics

  • Wide range of supply voltage (± 10V to ± 40V)
  • DMOS output amplification step
  • High Output Power (Musical 100W)
  • Mute and Stand-by functions
  • Very low harmonic distortion
  • Short circuit protection
  • Thermal protection with automatic shutdown

The layout of the schematic diagram is just below in Figure 2, for which we have the entire configuration of the amplifier with TDA7294.

Power supply

The power supply must be at least 5 AmperesSymmetrical, with good filtration, with a minimum voltage of 10 Volts and a maximum of 40 Volts

Knowing that using the minimum voltage, you will not reach the maximum power of the amplifier, because it needs a higher voltage to supply the declared power.

In this amplifier model, is used a Symmetric Power Supply type, that is; power [+ VCC GND | -VCC].

Adjustable Power Supply 1.25v to 57V, 6 Amps using TIP36C + LM317HV + PCB

The LM317HV is an adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulator capable of supplying 1.5 A or more currents over a 1.25V to 57V output voltage range. It requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. The LM317HV is packaged in standard transistor packages that are easily mounted and handled.

However, the LM317HV supports high voltage, but the current is still low, only 1.5A, our circuit, we are increasing a drive circuit to increase the current we need to 6 Amps, with three TIP36C transistors, which provides an adjustable output voltage between 1.25v to 57 volts, with a current of 6 Amps, which is enough for a bench power supply.

The Circuit

The schematic electrical diagram, which follows in Figure 2 below, it's very simple, first one, we have the voltage input that comes through connector J1, which enters through resistor R1, that as long as there is no current greater than the one calculated, there is no drop of voltage in R1, more if the current increases, there will be a voltage drop of approximately 0.6V, which will cause the transistors to saturate, causing the current to pass through the power transistors.

The capacitor C1 has the objective of attenuating the interference of the ripples and their stability. Capacitor C2 has the function of eliminating high interference, and capacitor C3 has the function of constancy to decrease the ripple and stability of the power supply. 

P1, is a 5K analog potentiometer, if you don’t have 5K you can put 4.7K, which is more commercial, the diodes D1 and D2 are to avoid reverse voltage over the Integrated Circuit U1, and in the transistors, resistors R3, R4 and R5, are impact resistors, which attenuate the difference between the transistors and prevent one from working more than the other.

100W RMS Power Amplifier using 2 NPN 2SC5200 Output Transistors + PCB

Fig. 1 - 100W RMS Power Amplifier using 2 NPN 2SC5200 Output Transistors + PCB

For Portuguese version, click here!

We usually have amplifiers with complementary outputs on most amplifier designs, and in a vast majority of amplifiers, it's quite normal to use the complementary NPN 2SC5200 transistors in conjunction with the PNP 2SA1943.

This type of amplifier is very common and good quality, because these transistors are specific for high fidelity amplification.

You might also be interested in:

We'll build an amplifier circuit that uses the same concepts as two output transistors, but we will use two NPN 2SA5200 output transistors. Which is very interesting for those who like to test other types of transistors to evaluate the quality, distortions, powers. Etc.

The schematic diagram is in Figure 2 below, it is a simple amplifier, it has a satisfactory quality.

Fig. 2 - 100W RMS Power Amplifier with 2 NSC 2SC5200 Transistors at Output

Power Supply

The power supply consists of a symmetrical transformer 32V - 0 - 32V center tape, with a current of 5 Amperes, a lower current, up to 3 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 attenuation in the output power” with voltages ranging from 18V to 55V without too many difficulties.

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.

Adjustable Power Supply 1.25v to 33V, 3 Amps using LM350 + PCB

Fig. 1 - PCB Power Supply LM350

Nowadays it is very important and necessary to have a bench power supply to test ours; projects, electronic circuits, to maintain equipment, among others. However, this power supply must have at least a voltage adjustment control, and at least a short circuit protection.

And this is the proposal of this circuit, a simple and very effective circuit, with protection against short circuit, and that brings in its output an adjustable voltage between, 1.25v to 33 volts, with a current of 3 Amps, which is enough for most of the projects, and still, this PS has protection circuit against short circuit and over-temperature protection.

You may be interested in: 

The LM350 Integrated Circuit

The LM350 IC is an adjustable three-pin positive voltage regulator capable of delivering 3.0 Amperes in an output voltage range of 1.2 V to 33 V. This voltage regulator is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors to adjust the output voltage.
Besides:

  • Internal Current Limiting
  • Thermal shutdown
  • Secure Area Compensation

What do the LM350 integrated circuit, an essentially explosion-proof component.
The LM350 serves a wide variety of applications:

  • Static Voltage Regulator for digital circuits
  • Stable Current Regulator
  • Variable Current Regulator

This device also does an especially simple adjustable switching regulator, a programmable output regulator, or connecting a fixed resistor between the setting and the output, the LM350 can be used as a precision current regulator:

  • Guaranteed 3.0 The output current
  • Adjustable output between 1.2 V and 33 V
  • Load Regulation Normally 0.1%
  • Line Regulation Normally 0.005% / V
  • Internal thermal overload protection
  • Temperature Short-Circuit Internal Current Limiting Current
  • Compensation of the safe area of the output transistor
  • Floating Operation for High Voltage Applications
  • Standard 3-way Transistor Package
  • Eliminates Socks Many Back Fix

The Circuit

The electric schematic diagram, it follows in Figure 2 below, is quite simple, first, we have the rectifier diode bridge KBL610 that is a bridge of 6 Amperes to 1000 Volts, however, you can use anyone that you have and that is above 4 Amperes over 50 Volts.

Diodes D2 and D3 are for the protection of the IC LM350, against short circuits, because when we start the Power Supply, and the capacitor C3 is totally discharged, and it becomes as a short-circuit for the IC.

The C1 capacitor is to attenuate the ripples interference and stability of the same. The C2 capacitor has the function of constancy to decrease Ripple, and stability of the power supply. 

P1, is an analog potentiometer of 5K, if you don’t have the 5K you can put a 4.7K, which is more commercial. T1 is a transformer of at least 3 Amperes, with input according to your local network, which can be 220v or 110v depending on your region, and the transformer secondary is 25 Vac for the output of 33 Vdc.
