An impressive 120 watt amplifier circuit can be built by cascading a couple of TDA 2030 IC in a bridged tied load (BTL) configuration and through a few current boosting transistors. Advantage of a BTL Amplifier Topology The main objective of a BTL configuration is to enable a two way operation of the load which […]

OCL Amplifier Explained
In the field of audio amplifiers OCL stands for Output Capacitor-Less Amplifier design. How it Works In this OCL type of amplifier topology or configuration, the power output stage is directly coupled to its preceding driver stage without coupling capacitors. The following figure shows a typical OCL amplifier output stage, as can be seen, the […]
10 Stage Sequential Latch Switch Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained how to make a 10 step sequentially switching latch circuit which is used for switching ON 10 high power amplifiers sequentially. The idea was requested by Mr. Jerry B. Williams Circuit to Switch ON Power Amplifiers in Sequence Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design The requested design for a […]
Prevent Amplifier Fuse from Blowing During Power Switch ON
Is your power amplifier fuse blowing during power switch ON? It could be happening due to the initial high current drawn by the loudspeakers, when power is switched ON. The simple amplifier fuse protection circuits presented here can be effectively used for solving the issue. The problem is commonly seen in high power amplifiers, where […]
30 Watt Amplifier Circuit using Transistors
The three watt amplifier circuit discussed in the earlier post could be effectively upgraded into a 30 to 40 watt transistorized amplifier circuit, simply by adding a 2N3055 power output stage. The entire procedure for this is explained in the following article. The circuit was requested by Mr. Clifford. The requested specifications can be viewed […]
Digital Theremin Circuit – Make Music with your Hands
Named after its creator, the theremin originated in the Soviet Union in the beginning of 1920’s. This comprised of a container installed with a couple of antennas. It did not have any keyboard to play, no strings like in guitars. Rather, the theremin made use of human body capacitance to manipulate the volume and the […]
