For anyone who love transistor circuits, here you can find small wattage discrete amplifier. Building discrete amplifier is much more fun and some people say it’s involve more artworks than building the ones with integrated circuit. Look at the figure below for the circuit’s schematic diagram. A variable resistor 470 Ohm is provided in series with two 1N4148 diodes to […]

Using only a single chip and few passive components, you can build 8-14 Watt audio power amplifier using TDA2030 chip. Here is the circuit schematic diagram: If you use 4 ohm speaker then you get 14 Watt output power, and around 8 Watt if you use 8 ohm loudspeaker. Make sure the 100n and 100u capacitor is wired as close […]

TDA2003 is my favorite audio amplifier integrated circuit chip in 10 Watt class. All you need is just adding few passive components and your amplifier will be ready. You can even amplify ultrasonic range if you wish to abuse its usage, just to convince you that this chip is more than enough to handle any range of audio signal. Although […]

LM386 is one of my favorite small audio amplifier integrated circuit chip. The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The inputs are ground referenced while the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but the addition of an external […]
