Audio amplifiers which are designed to amplify an analogue audio signal through pulse width modulation or PWM processing and with adjustable duty cycle is known by many names including digital amplifier, Class-D amplifier, switched amplifier and PWM amplifier. (Article Contributed by: Ritu khanna) Because it can perform at high efficiencies, a Class-D amplifier has become […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Extended High Bass Effect from Small Speaker Box [Cross-Over-Filter]
Bigger speaker boxes produce proportionately higher bass effect, this fact is know to all of us. However, bigger boxes are not only expensive, they can be cumbersome and bulky. How about having the very same high bass effect, that a bigger box would provide, from a much smaller and compact speaker enclosure? Sounds strange right? […]
Audio Dithering Circuit for Enhanced Crisper Music
In this article I have explained a simple circuit concept which can be used to transform an ordinary analogue audio signal into a much vibrant and crisper digital music, by adding an external random noise to the audio, which is also known as pink noise. Video dithering is a procedure for generating an image file […]
Loudspeaker Thump Sound Eliminator Circuit
While using amplifiers, we sometimes experience this very annoying thump sound, popping up in loudspeakers whenever the amplifier is switched ON or OFF. This normally happens with amplifiers that are of low quality or lack the feature of a thump eliminator circuit built-in in the amplifier. The thump sound in loudspeakers can be not only […]
Bridged Amplifier Circuit using LM380 Circuit
In this post I have explained how to configure a couple of LM380 ICs in the bridged format to create an output power that’s two times more or double of a single IC amplifier. When two identical amplifier circuits are configured such that the loudspeaker operates at the center in a push pull manner, between […]
70 Watt Stereo Amplifier Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple 70 + 70 watt stereo power amplifier circuit using transistors. The entire design along with power supply and PCB layouts are provided in the following article. Circuit Description The working of the proposed 70 watt stereo amplifier circuit can be understood from the following […]
