The total effect is 2x LM's paralleled amplifiers 2x Bridged and should give approx watts into 8 ohm and watts into 4 ohm speakers when used with a sufficient power supply. All Rights Reserved. The total effect is 2x LM's paralleled x2 Bridged and should give approx watts into 8 ohm and watts into 4 ohm when used with a sufficient power supply. In the end mine was dual mono in a recycled amp case using 2x VA 18VACx2 toroidal transformers, 54,uF of capacitance per channel with a snubber.
This LC Meter allows to measure incredibly small inductances making it perfect tool for making all types of RF coils and inductors. The circuit includes an auto ranging as well as reset switch and produces very accurate and stable readings. The output waveforms can be both amplitude and frequency modulated.
LM Gainclone Amplifier. The meter is a perfect addition to any power supply, battery chargers and other electronic projects where voltage and current must be monitored. It is a very useful bench test equipment for testing and finding out the frequency of various devices with unknown frequency such as oscillators, radio receivers, transmitters, function generators, crystals, etc.
It can be connected to any type of stereo audio source such as iPod, Computer, Laptop, CD Player, Walkman, Television, Satellite Receiver, Tape Deck or other stereo system to transmit stereo sound with excellent clarity throughout your home, office, yard or camp ground.
It also analyzes transistor's characteristics such as voltage and gain. It is an irreplaceable tool for troubleshooting and repairing electronic equipment by determining performance and health of electrolytic capacitors. Headphone amplifier is small enough to fit in Altoids tin box, and thanks to low power consumption may be supplied from a single 9V battery. It's small, power efficient, yet customizable through onboard 2 x 7 perfboard that can be used for connecting various sensors and connectors.

Posted by Ben on Mar 17, in Audio 0 comments. The LM datasheet can be found here. This is essentially two LM tied in parallel through 0. This configuration provides more output power than a or and allows compatibility with a wider range of loads without sacrificing audio performance. The circuit schematic is shown below. The heart of the amplifier system is the power supply transformer s.
This is usually the single most expensive component in an amplifier. The VA toroid fullfills the circuit power demands without being excessively large to induce mechanical hum. The power supply schematic can be found here. Because of the small number of components in this circuit, the quality of components used becomes more important.
A common DIY modification to improve the audio quality of consumer audio equipment is to upgrade the bypass caps and audio path resistors.
I figure I might as well build it properly the first time. One of the most important components is the attenuator. All of your audio is passing through this device before it gets amplified. It just plain makes sense to use a decent one. This is an interesting read for anyone trying to decide which attenuator to use. For me, chassis metalwork was the most labour intensive operation in this project.
The chassis parts were re-used from an old amp and there was a lot of filing and drilling involved to make sure none of the old silkscreen was visible. Once this was complete, it was simply a matter of connecting the amplifiers to the power supply and cleaning up the wiring. The LM is a non-isolated chip meaning the case on the chip is at V- potential.
This means that it must be electrically isolated from the heatsink. Enter thermal pads. These little beauties transfer the heat to the heatsink but are not conductive. They may be a little less efficient than thermal grease but in my case, the heatsinks are gigantic so heat is not really a concern.
With the right layout and component selection, you can build an excellent sounding Hi-Fi audio amplifier that will rival high-end amps retailing for several thousand dollars or more. I highly recommend reading the datasheet before building your amplifier.
LM Datasheet. Application note AN has additional information that fills in gaps left out of the datasheet. Overture Application Note AN This is an Excel spreadsheet that calculates output power, heat sink size, gain, and other useful parameters:. Overture Design Guide.
You can also check out this video to see a quick overview of the design process. At the end I wire up the amp so you can hear what it sounds like:. The formula to use is:. Sound quality is severely compromised when the SPiKe circuitry is enabled, so to prevent this we need a heat sink with a thermal resistance low enough to dissipate the maximum power dissipated by the LM The minimum gain setting of your amplifier will depend on your input voltage, speaker impedance, and output power according to the formula:.
Setting it too low might make your amplifier too quiet. To convert voltage gain to decibels db gain, use this formula:.
I decided on a gain of around 27 db Which is close enough to 27 db, and above the If these resistors vary much between the two channels, the gains will be different and one channel will be louder than the other. Metal film resistors with a tolerance of 0. After setting the gain, the next step is to balance the input bias currents by choosing values for R in and R b :. If the currents at the non-inverting input pin 9 and the inverting input pin 10 are different, a voltage will develop between them.
Lower than 2 to 4 Hz is ideal. I started with 1. Electrolytics, ceramics, and tantalum capacitors should be avoided. A good quality polypropylene metal film, or even better a polypropylene metal film in oil capacitor will sound best here. We can use the F c equation with R i and C i :. Broadcast radio frequencies in the USA are:. With a pF capacitor, the F c becomes:. The best way to determine values for R f2 and C f is with circuit simulation software such as LTSpice. At high frequencies, the impedance of C sn is very low, so high frequency current is shorted to ground.
The datasheet gives a value of 2. In order to bring this down to a more reasonable level, I decided on using 4. Inductors have a low impedance to low frequency current and a high impedance to high frequency current. Audio signals are relatively low frequency, so they will flow through the inductor uninhibited. High frequency oscillation current will be impeded by the inductor and be forced to flow through the resistor, which will dampen it.
Since the inductor will be carrying the full output current of the amplifier, the wire should be heavy gauge.
Post a Comment. Zynsonix Link. Given that I mostly enjoy building tube amps that could have been built in the s, this is a huge departure; we are zooming along to technology!
The amplifier made use of the National Semiconductor LM, a 56 watt chip and relatively low capacitance. Likely the most popular chips are the LM and LM After reading about the various kits available, I settled on the LM from Chipamp Electronics as I liked the idea of additional capacitance in the power supply. The Chipamp LM Stereo Kit Aside for the boards and the limited number of parts, the build would require a transformer, a box, heatsinks, heatsink mounting compound, binding posts, RCAs, switches, an IEC inlet with fuse, wire, standoffs, etc.
After roughly deciding on where each part would reside within Photoshop, I settled on a 7" x 12" x 3" aluminum box. See the rough layout below.
Chassis layout created in Photoshop I prefer to fit the components into a case where there is enough room to breath, but there isn't a significant waste of space at the same time, so I generally avoid the 17" and 19" wide rack style enclosures. Other brand options out there are AnTek and Plitron. Chassis with parts in place. For the heatsinks, I found some reasonably priced ones on ebay that had mounting holes for screws.
I installed 1" aluminum standoffs on the heatsinks so I could mount them to the chassis with the fins facing the vent holes I planned to drill. I used some generic yet very solid gold plated binding posts for the rear. The IEC inlet is mounted in a slightly odd position, but was necessary considering the small form factor. Many electronics contain high voltages that can kill, and mods, if performed improperly, can be a fire hazard. No comments:.

Tel: Email: neverfinished0 hotmail. This Page shows the History of custom Power Amplifier builds for customers With the Chinese making superb Aluminium Cases nowadays - I have designed and built some hand built quality Power Amplifiers which are so popular that I could just build nothing else - they sell like hot cakes and sound spectacular! I have built around 10 of these single case types of varying versions - all sold to HI-FI buffs. The introductory single case BZP versions have been phased out now due to technical reasons and high production costs - I have none of these enclosures left now. Squeezing all the parts into the case is an art - yet the finished Power Amplifier sounds open, powerful and very "grunty".
Car Audio Amp in HT setup
Don't trust the clip lights. LED did not light when distortion was present. Loaded it down to 2 Ohms and sounded ok. Great for the application and plan to buy more. I bought this amp because of it's subwoofer filter which lets the amp only put power into Hz and lower. I thought this would be great, since it's a bridgeable amp and I intended to use it for a single big subwoofer. Sadly, I found that this amp even bridged is much too weak to keep up. I think it's sad that specs aren't as accurate as in the past.

The amp blew in 4 days. Running 2 5th gen alpine type r swr12d4 subs bridged. Gain was not touched, it came tuned to satisfaction. Amp sounded amazing for the 4 days it worked, it seemed to have a thermal shutdown, then turned back on after a few seconds, I then shut the amp off for an hour. After that time I turned the head unit back on, played a song, and the subs never came on.
