Audio level indicator on the LM324

Chip LM324 is a precision operational amplifier and contains four independent channels. She
works in a wide range of supply voltages from 3 to 30 volts. The output current of each channel does not exceed 10 mA. 
On the chip can construct a set number of interesting devices. 
Scheme is relatively simple indicator of the audio signal, built on a chip LM324. Because the chip contains 4 outputs, the number of LEDs for the analyzer will also be four, one for each channel. The amplifier output is connected to the input indicator LEDs will light up depending on the frequency of play, at low input frequencies LEDs will flash column. The result is a very beautiful light and music effects.
For best effect, you can use two chips, then it will be able to use 8 LEDs, we consider both options.
Installation will not work if the input is connected to the line output from the computer sound card or headphone output does not work!
During these experiments, it became clear that the chip can be adapted to the two modes of operation, the first of which is already listed above - flashing LEDs individually, besides flashing corresponds to the input frequency range, the stronger low frequency, the higher the LED lights pole.
The second mode - joint flashing. In this mode, all the LEDs light up together. In this case, the output of the power amplifier and connect the negative input of the indicator.
In the first scheme, the construction of the variant of the indicator on a single chip. The effect is not very entertaining, but I advise you to start to collect that way, and then if everything is working properly, and you can connect a second chip.


In the video clip demonstrated the operation of a single chip, the LEDs are working together, then there is a circuit connected to the second embodiment.
Indicator is able to work together with any power amplifier, regardless of the supply voltage of the amplifier power, only do not raise the maximum allowable stress indicator, which is 30 volts.


In those cases where you need to combine the light with an amplifier that runs on dual supply, you need to use a voltage of 12 to 24 volts.LEDs fit literally any colors to your taste, you can apply one color LEDs, you decide.

Variant of the indicator on two chips:


To display operated in the "column", you need to connect the output of the amplifier plus the power supply indicator and an input razhim this can only be used when the power amplifier and the indicator powered from a variety of sources, otherwise there is a danger of burn VLF output stage!

One Chip AM/FM Radio with Audio Power Amplifier

Description: The integrated circuit TDA1083 includes, with exception  of the FM front end, a complete AM-/FM-radio-circuit  with audio power amplifier. An internal Z-diode  stabilizes the supply voltage at VS 13 V, which allows  with the aid of a resistor and a rectifier, the circuit to be  driven by a higher external supply voltage. Features: Large supply voltage range VS = 3 to 12 V High AM-Sensitivity Limiting threshold voltage Vi = 50 V Audio output power P0 = 0.7 W AFC-connection for VHF-tuner AM-FM switching without high frequency voltages Applications: AM-/FM- and audio-amplifier Circuit Diagram: Circuit diagram for One Chip AM/FM Radio with Audio Power Amplifier Datasheet for TDA1083:   Download

200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit

200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit - c onnecting two TDA2030 thru cheap power transistors we can create a amplifier wich can deliver a higher power. With the components value from the schematic the total amplifier gain is 32 dB. The speaker can be 2 ohm instead of 4 ohm if we use the TIP transistors. TDA 2030 is produced by SGS Ates and is a complete audio amplifier. AB class of the final amplifier cand deliver up to 14W on 4 ohm at a +-14V power supply. With a proper designed power supply this audio amplifier can output 200W. Active components: IC1, Ic2 TDA 2030 T1, T3 = BD 250, TIP 36 T2,T4 = BD 249, TIP 35 D1 … D4 = 1N4001 200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit
