5W Stereo Audio Amplifier Circuit using TEA2025 IC + PCB

5W Stereo Audio Amplifier Circuit using TEA2025

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 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“, 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.

Applications

Electronic Instruments
PC sound speaker
Home theater systems
Hi-fi electronic gadgets and devices
Robotics applications
Children’s gadgets and toys, etc.
