Reliable 6 Watt Hi Fi Audio Amplifier Using TDA2613

A 6 watt audio amplifier circuit using TDA2613 is shown here. TDA2613 is an integrated Hi-Fi  audio amplifier IC from Philips Semiconductors. The IC is switch ON / switch OFF click proof, short circuit proof, thermally protected and is available in 9 pin single in line plastic package. In the given circuit, TDA2613 is wired to operate from a single supply.

Capacitor C4 is the input DC decoupler while capacitors C5, C6 are power supply filters. Input audio is fed to the non inverting input through capacitor C4. Inverting input and Vp/2 pins of the IC are tied together and connected to ground through capacitor C3. Capacitor C2 couples the speaker to the ICs output and the network comprising of capacitor C1 and resistor R1 improves the high frequency stability.

Circuit diagram

Notes.

• Assemble the circuit on good quality PCB.
• Supply voltage (Vs) can be anything between 15 to 24V DC.
• Heat sink is necessary for TDA2613.
• Do not give more than 24V to TDA2613.

25W Hi Fi Power Amplifier Circuit

25 W Hi-Fi power amplifier circuit is a one of simple design that’s build by transistor NPN and PNP. The output devices are MJL4281A (NPN) and MJL4302A (PNP), and feature high bandwidth, excellent SOA (safe operating area), high linearity and high gain. Driver transistors are MJE15034 (NPN) and MJE15035 (PNP). All devices are rated at 350V, with the power transistors having 230W power dissipation and the drivers are 50W. The amp may also be operated at lower supply voltages for less power, but I do not recommend less than ±18V, which will provide around 15W into 8 ohms. This supply voltage (approximately) may be obtained by using a 15-0-15V transformer. This figure is show the circuit and operation of the circuit.


The supply voltage should be a maximum of ±25V. This supply is easily obtained from a 20-0-20V transformer. All resistors should be 1/4W or 1/2W 1% metal film for lowest noise, with the exception of R9, R10 and R15 which should be 1/2W types, and R13, R14 must be 5W wire wound. The bootstrap capacitor (C5) needs to be rated at least 25V, but the other electrolyc can be any voltage you have available. The potentiometer (VR1) must be a multi turn type, as the current setting is critical. Each of these amps will require a 0.25°C/W heat sink (very large). Consider using a fan or even water cooling to keep temperatures as low as possible.
