60W MosFet Audio Amplifier

High Quality, powerful unit: 90W into 4 Ohm load Also suited as guitar or bass amplifier

60W MosFet Audio Amplifier Description

To celebrate the hundredth design posted to this website, and to fulfil the requests of many correspondents wanting an amplifier more powerful than the 25W MosFet, a 60 - 90W High Quality power amplifier design is presented here.

Circuit topology is about the same of the above mentioned amplifier, but the extremely rugged IRFP240 and IRFP9240 MosFet devices are used as the output pair, and well renowned high voltage Motorola's transistors are employed in the preceding stages.

The supply rails voltage was kept prudentially at the rather low value of + and - 40V. For those wishing to experiment, the supply rails voltage could be raised to + and - 50V maximum, allowing the amplifier to approach the 100W into 8 Ohm target: enjoy!

A matching, discrete components, Modular Preamplifier design is available here:Modular Audio Preamplifier.

Notes:

In the original circuit, a three-diode string was wired in series to R10. Two of these diodes are now replaced by a red LED in order to achieve improved quiescent current stability over a larger temperature range. Thanks to David Edwards of LedeAudio for this suggestion.
A small, U-shaped heatsink must be fitted to Q6 & Q7.
Q8 & Q9 must be mounted on large heatsinks.
Quiescent current can be measured by means of an Avo-meter wired in series to the positive supply rail and no input signal.
Set the Trimmer R10 to its minimum resistance.
Power-on the amplifier and adjust R10 to read a current drawing of about 120 - 130mA.
Wait about 15 minutes, watch if the current is varying and readjust if necessary.
The value suggested for C1 and C2 in the Power Supply Parts List is the minimum required for a mono amplifier. For optimum performance and in stereo configurations, this value should be increased: 10000µF is a good compromise.
A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of R1, R3, C2, C3 and C4 and the ground input wire. Connect R7 and C7 to C11 to output ground. Then connect separately the input and output grounds to the power supply ground.

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
