Boomer Audio Power Amplifier Using LM4906

The well-known LM386 is an excellent choice for many designs requiring a small audio power amplifier (1-watt) in a single chip. However, the LM386 requires quite a few external parts including some electrolytic capacitors, which unfortunately add volume and cost to the circuit.

National Semiconductor recently introduced its Boomer® audio integrated circuits which were designed specifically to provide high quality audio while requiring a minimum amount of external components (in surface mount packaging only). The LM4906 is capable of delivering 1 watt of continuous average power to an 8-ohm load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a +5 V power supply. The chip happily works with an external PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio) bypass capacitor of just 1 µF minimum.

In addition, no output coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors are required which makes the LM4906 ideally suited for cellphone and other low voltage portable applications. The LM4906 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode (the part is enabled by pulling the SD pin high).

Additionally, an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism is provided. The LM4906 also has an internal selectable gain of either 6 dB or 12 dB. A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration, as it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible as compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions (particularly when considering the low supply voltage of 5 to 6 volts).

Boomer Audio Power Amplifier Circuit Diagram:


When pushed for output power, the small SMD case has to be assisted in keeping a cool head. By adding copper foil, the thermal resistance of the application can be reduced from the free air value, resulting in higher PDMAX values without thermal shutdown protection circuitry being activated. Additional copper foil can be added to any of the leads connected to the LM4906. It is especially effective when connected to VDD, GND, and the output pins. A bridge configuration, such as the one used in LM4906, also creates a second advantage over single-ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2, are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across the load.

This eliminates the need for an output coupling capacitor which is required in a single supply, single-ended amplifier configuration. Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. But in many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 100 Hz to 150 Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance. Also, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized.

Playback Amplifier For Cassette Deck

For some time now, there have been a number of tape cassette decks available at low prices from mail order businesses and electronics retailers. Such decks do not contain any electronics, of course. It is not easy to build a recording amplifier and the fairly complex magnetic biasing circuits, but a playback amplifier is not too difficult as the present one shows. The stereo circuits in the diagram, in conjunction with a suitable deck, form a good-quality cassette player. The distortion and frequency range (up to 23 kHz) are up to good standards. Moreover, the circuit can be built on a small board for incorporation with the deck in a suitable enclosure. Both terminals of coupling capacitor C1 are at ground potential when the amplifier is switched on.

Circuit diagram:


Because of the symmetrical ±12 V supply lines, the capacitor will not be charged. If a single supply is used, the initial surge when the capacitor is being charged causes a loud click in the loudspeaker and, worse, magnetizes the tape. The playback head provides an audio signal at a level of 200–500 mV. The two amplifiers raise this to line level, not linearly, but in accordance with the RIAA equalization characteristic for tape recorders. Broadly speaking, this characteristic divides the frequency range into three bands:

  • Up to 50 Hz, corresponding to a time constant of 3.18 ms, the signal is highly and linearly amplified.
  • Between 50 Hz and 1.326 kHz, corresponding to a time constant of 120 µs, for normal tape, or 2.274 kHz, corresponding to a time constant of 70 µs, for chromium dioxide tape, the signal is amplified at a steadily decreasing rate.
  • Above 1.326 kHz or 2.274 kHz, as the case may be, the signal is slightly and linearly amplified. This characteristic is determined entirely by A1 (A1’). To make the amplifier suitable for use with chromium dioxide tape, add a double-pole switch (for stereo) to connect a 2.2 kΩ resistor in parallel with R3 (R3’). The output of A1 (A1’) is applied to a passive high-pass rumble filter, C3-R5 (C3’-R5’) with a very low cut-off frequency of 7 Hz. The components of this filter have exactly the same value as the input filter, C1-R1 (C1’-R1’). The second stage, A2 (A2’) amplifies the signal ´100, that is, to line level (1V r.m.s.).

10W Audio Amplifier With Bass Boost

High Quality, very simple design, No preamplifier required. This design is based on the 18 Watt Audio Amplifier, and was developed mainly to satisfy the requests of correspondents unable to locate the TLE2141C chip. It uses the widespread NE5532 Dual IC but, obviously, its power output will be comprised in the 9.5 - 11.5W range, as the supply rails cannot exceed ±18V.

 As amplifiers of this kind are frequently used to drive small loudspeaker cabinets, the bass frequency range is rather sacrificed. Therefore a bass-boost control was inserted in the feedback loop of the amplifier, in order to overcome this problem without quality losses. The bass lift curve can reach a maximum of +16.4dB @ 50Hz. In any case, even when the bass control is rotated fully counterclockwise, the amplifier frequency response shows a gentle raising curve: +0.8dB @ 400Hz, +4.7dB @ 100Hz and +6dB @ 50Hz (referred to 1KHz).

2 1 Channel Systems Dual Power Amplifier TDA7240 and TDA1517

The main problem with the design of stereo amplifier with a total bass driver, is that the signals of left and right channels, sooner or later, are summarized. As a result of merely adding up, the separation between channels is reduced to a minimum and violated the very idea stereofonii.

The most efficient method of summation, known today - signal active smesitelyami - filters with high input impedance, which is often used by field-effect transistors. Subsequent cascades enhance increase the amplitude of the signal. I tried to make some other way - most to weaken the signals of channels and to make their addition, as late as possible, before entering signal with high sensitivity (TDA 7240 - 46dB). The second chip-TDA 1517, serves as a mid-frequency driver. I must say that the problem is not solved completely, the separation between channels is desirable to do more, subjective listening showed a contraction of panoramas, lack of air, which is inherent in amplifiers with independent channels.

Listen to music using the device somewhat tiresome, but it very effectively transmits audio material of films and computer games. In any case, the amplifier has shown significant superiority over the multimedia system Logitech Z - 340, which is one of my friends recently bought for $ 60. Another nice time - managed to realize the possibility of simultaneous volume in all channels, which will agree, very convenient. Thus, the scheme was recommended for the recurrence of 2.1 Channel Systems, with the prospect of it improving.

  2. The current ‘· through the voice coil and R12 v develops a voltage across the 1 resistor. A negative feedback · loop is created by feeding this reference voltage to the inverting input of IC.
  3. The quiescent current of the amplifier is of the order of 50 to 100mA for class A operation, and is determined by Ra-R4 and R5-Rs.
  4. The complementary power transistors should be closely matched types to avoid fairly large offset currents (and voltages) arising.
  5. Capacitor Cs functions to set the roll-off frequency at about 90 kHz.
  6. Some re-dimensioning of either Ra or R4 may be required to achieve the correct balance for the power output stage.
  7. This amplifier is based on current feedback to ensure that the current sent through the voice coil remains in accordance with the input signal.
  8. In the present case the amplification is 16 times (Z1./R1=8/0.5=16).
  9. The emitter current of T1 and T2 is about 500 mA when the amplifier is fully driven. The harmonic distortion of this ampflier is less than 0.01% at P=6.25 W and U= $18
  10. The overall amplification of the circuit depends on the ratio of the ·loudspeaker’s impedance, Z1., to the value of Rv.
  11. In multi-way speaker systems, this difficulty is overcome by appropriate dimensioning of " the crossover filter, but a different approach is called for when there is but one loudspeaker.
  12. It l is very much evident, therefore, that the power delivered by such amplifiers is inversely. proportional to the loudspeaker impedance, since the cone displacement of a loudspeaker is mainly a function of the current through the voice coil, whose impedance may vary considerably over the relevant frequency range.
  13. The majority of modern AP power amplifiers drive the speaker(s) with a voltage that is simply a fixed factor greater than the input voltage.

Simplest 12 Watt Stereo Amplifier Circuit

  The Type TDAl52l from Valvo/Mullard is an integrated HiFi stereo power amplifier designed for mains fed applications such as stereo TV The device works optimally when fed from a j 16V supply; and delivers a maximum output power of 2x12 W into 8 Q.
The gain of the amplifiers is fixed internally at 30 dB with a spread of 0.2 dB to ensure optimum gain balance between the channels. A special feature of the chip is its built-in mute circuit, which disconnects the non-inverting inputs when the supply voltage g is less than j 6Vj a level at which the amplifiers are still correctly biased. This arrangement ensures the absence of unwanted clicks and other noise when the amplifier is switched on or off. The TDAl52l is protected against output short circuits and thermal overloading. The SIL9 package should be bolted onto a heat- sink with a thermal resistance of no more than 3.3 K/W (R1.=8 Q; Vs: ;r 16 V; Pa=l4.6 W; Ta: 65 °C). Note that the metal tab on the chip package is internally connected to pin 5. The accompanying photograph shows that this high quality stereo amplifier has a very low component count, and is readily constructed on a piece of Veroboard. The following technical data are stated as typical in the data- sheets for the TDAl52l
