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 […]
RF Amplifier Circuits and RF Converters
In this article I have explained a few high frequency RF converter and preamplifier circuit designs which can be used for amplifying or enhancing the reception of an existing RF receiver. All the RF amplifier circuits provided below are intended to be placed near an existing amateur radio receiver or a matching radio set in […]
4 Efficient PWM Amplifier Circuits Explained
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 […]
Guitar Amplifier Circuit with Fuzz Effect Genertaor
The first schematic describes a 100 watt Guitar amplifier circuit which can be used mainly for amplifying guitar sound and also a public address systems. The next schematic in this article explains yet another guitar amplifier enhanced with fuzz effect generator and treble booster circuits. To test its ruggedness, the unit is designed without any […]
Soft-Start Power Supply for Amplifier Loudspeakers
The proposed slow-start power supply circuit is specially designed for power amplifiers to ensure that the loudspeaker connected with the amplifier do not generate the loud and unwanted “thump” sound during power switch ON. This also implies that the power supply will safeguard or protect the loudspeaker from the sudden inrush current transient from the […]
