45W Power Audio Amplifier Circuit with HEXFET

45W Power Audio Amplifier Circuit with HEXFET


This is 45W power audio amplifier circuit which built using HEXFET IRF9540 and IRF540. This is a ideal solution for the make a good, low cost power amplifier circuit.

The preamplifier and the driver support in a operational amplifier [IC1]. The voltage fall in resistors R5 and TR2/R6, drive the output FET's gates and is proportional with the input signal level. Transistors Q1-2 function as voltage stabilizers in the supply lines, but ensure also the essential voltage fall, because the IC1 it should not they are supplied with voltage bigger ± 18V. The consumption of all types that can be used in the place of IC1, are 2 mA, this it means voltage fall in terminal the R5 and TR2/R6 equal with the 2.4 until 2.6Volts. The current regulation it become from transistors Q3-4 in Wilson connection and the current adjustment of bias it becomes from the multiturn TR1 trimmer.

About Audio Amplifier
An audio amplifier is an electronic amplifier that amplifies low-power audio signals (signals composed primarily of frequencies between 20 - 20 000 Hz, the human range of hearing) to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers and is the final stage in a typical audio playback chain.

The preceding stages in such a chain are low power audio amplifiers which perform tasks like pre-amplification, equalization, tone control, mixing/effects, or audio sources like record players, CD players, and cassette players. Most audio amplifiers require these low-level inputs to adhere to line levels.

While the input signal to an audio amplifier may measure only a few hundred microwatts, its output may be tens, hundreds, or thousands of watts. More explanation about power audio amplifier can be found at wikipedia.org

This is a video tutorial about how to a very simple audio amplifier based on the LM386 amplifier chip. It can be built for less than $20 (or might be less than $8 in some countries) and used to amplify any low level audio signal including a guitar, bass or mp3 player.
