The Stereo Power Meter

The Stereo Power Meter is made up of two identical circuits and a power supply. Each circuit contains Jwo LM3914 display chips which contain 10 voltage comparators, a 10-step voltage divider, a referencevoltage source, and a mode-select circuit that selects a bar or dot display via a logic input at pin 9. The brightness of the LEDs is controlled by the 1900-!l resistors and the reference voltage is controlled by the 3900-!l resistors. The 10-step voltage divider within the chips is connected between the reference voltage and ground. Since each step of the voltage divider is separated by a 1-K!l resistor, each comparator senses a voltage 1 O% greater than the preceding comparator. The signal is applied to pin 5, which is buffered through a resistor-diode network and then amplified as it passes to each of the 10 comparators. Each LED is grounded through the comparators as the input signal voltage matches the reference voltage. That results in one to 10 LEDs illuminating as the signal voltage increases.

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
