Comments:
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).

Notes:
Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.
Schematic shows left channel only, but C3, C4, IC1 and the power supply are common to both channels.
Numbers in parentheses show IC1 right channel pin connections.
A log type for P2 ensures a more linear regulation of bass-boost.
Dont exceed 18 + 18V supply.
Q3 and Q4 must be mounted on heatsink.
D1 must be in thermal contact with Q1.
Quiescent current (best measured with an Avo-meter in series with Q3 Emitter) is not critical.
Set the volume control to the minimum and R3 to its minimum resistance.
Power-on the circuit and adjust R3 to read a current drawing of about 20 to 25mA.
Wait about 15 minutes, watch if the current is varying and readjust if necessary.
A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect in the same point the ground sides of J1, P1, C2, C3 &C4. Connect C9 at the output ground.
Then connect separately the input and output grounds at the power supply ground.

Technical data:
Output power: 10 Watt RMS @ 8 Ohm (1KHz sinewave)
Sensitivity: 115 to 180mV input for 10W output (depending on P2 control position)
Frequency response: See Comments above
Total harmonic distortion @ 1KHz: 0.1W 0.009% 1W 0.004% 10W 0.005%
Total harmonic distortion @ 100Hz: 0.1W 0.009% 1W 0.007% 10W 0.012%

Max. bass-boost referred to 1KHz: 400Hz = +5dB; 200Hz = +7.3dB; 100Hz = +12dB; 50Hz = +16.4dB; 30Hz = +13.3dB

LA4555 based Audio Amplifier circuit with explanation

LA4555

LA4555

Stereo circuit and mono circuit are given in schematic .LA 4555 is basically a stereo amplifier with 2.3 watts into 4 ohms speakers at a total distortion of 10%. With a bridge circuit, it can be configured as mono amplifier delivering 4.6 watts. It has an input impedance of 30K and gain of 51 dB. It has an excellent voltage range of 3 to 13 volts. Both mono and stereo circuits are shown here.

Pin out is given in Figure

LA4555

Input is given at Pin 8 in the mono circuit and output is taken at Pin 11 through a capacitor (C7) of 470 uF to a speaker of 4 ohms. In the case of stereo circuit, input is given at 5 and 8 pins and output is taken out at 2 and 11 pins respectively for left and right channels through the blocking capacitors C4 and C7.

A detailed description of the pin out will help now and in the future.

In the stereo circuit,

C5, C2 are feedback capacitors, zohich dictate the lower cut off frequency.

CI, C6 are bootstrap capacitors. If the capacitor value is reduced from the recommended 47uF, output

at flow frequencies falls.

Cll, CIO are oscillation blocking capacitors. Polyester film capacitors are preferable.

C7, C4 are output coupling capacitors. Lower cutoff frequency depends on their value and quality.

C3 is the ripple filter or decoupling capacitor.

C8, C9 are the power source capacitors.

R2, R2 are oscillation blocking resistors.

ICs dissipate heat as they dissipate more and more power at more and more voltages. The heat must be removed continuously such that IC operates at rated temperature. Failure to do so will result in thermal runaway. If the IC is well protected, output power will fall to a safe area. If not it will eventually fail and pack up. Copper foil area is made as large as possible in the vicinity ofIC to dissipate more heat.

Then heat sink, thermally conductive material such as copper or aluminum is mounted on IC to remove the heat as it develops. It must be of enough size. In case ofLA4555, the IC has fins which are soldered to the PCB and a small heat sink also can be soldered along with it. Solder copper heat sink as shown in the figure below. Aluminum cannot be easily soldered. Method of mounting heat sink is shown in Figure.

Studio Series Stereo Headphone Amplifier

Heres a top-class headphone amplifier that can drive high or low impedance phones to full power levels, with very low noise and distortion. For best performance, it can be teamed with the Stereo Preamplifier described last month. Alternatively, it can be used as a standalone unit, requiring only a power supply and a volume control pot for use with any line-level signal source (CD/MP3 player etc). It even includes dual outputs, so you can listen with a friend!

Picture of the circuit:


Many of our high-power audio amplifier designs already provide an output for headphones. The additional circuitry required for headphone support is simple; just two resistors in series with the loudspeaker outputs to limit the drive current and protect the ’phones in the case of amplifier failure.

Considering its simplicity, this resistive limiting scheme works well, although it will cause distortion if the load is non-linear – a likely prospect with most headphones. Apart from eliminating this potential source of distortion, there are a number of other reasons why you might consider building a separate headphone amplifier.

For a start, not everyone owns a pair of top-rated headphones or even a high-performance power amplifier. After all, an amplifier that equals or betters the performance of this new headphone amplifier will set you back more than a few shekels!

Parts layout:


Another reason might be for use with the latest "high-tech" audio electronics gear. The headphone outputs in much of this gear cannot drive low-impedance ’phones – or at least not to decent listening levels. In addition, available output power in portable devices is deliberately limited to conserve battery energy. This means that lots of distortion might be present at higher listening levels, even with sensitive headphones.

One way around this is to feed the line-level outputs of this gear into your power amplifier and then plug your low-impedance headphones into that. That works but then you’re tethered to an immovable object. Besides, the power required to drive headphones is around 1/1000th of that required to drive loudspeakers, so a large power amplifier could be considered a tad oversized for the job!

Circuit diagram:


Main Features:

    High performance – very low noise & distortion
    Drives high and low-impedance headphones
    High output power (up to 200mW; into 8? and 32?)
    Dual headphone sockets – can drive two pairs!
    Works with a preamp or any line-level audio source

Measured Performance:

Frequency response.......................... flat from 10Hz to 20kHz (see graphs)
Rated output power........................... 200mW into 8? and 32?, 85mW into 600?
Max. output power (current or voltage limited)...............575mW into 8?, 700mW into 32?, 130mW into 600?
Harmonic distortion........................ typically .0005% (600? load),.001% (32? load) and .005% (8? load)
Signal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted)......................... -130dB (600?), -120dB (32?) and -111dB (8?) with respect to 100mW output power.
Channel crosstalk.................. better than -68dB from 20Hz-20kHz at 100m? output power (see graphs)
Input impedance.................................... ~47k? || 47pF
Output impedance..................... ~5?

Note:

All tests were performed with the amplifier driven from low source impedance. For crosstalk measurements, the non-driven input was back-terminated into 600?.

Condenser Mic Audio Amplifier

The compact, low-cost condenser mic audio amplifier described here provides good-quality audio of 0.5 watts at 4.5 volts. It can be used as part of intercoms, walkie-talkies, low-power transmitters, and packet radio receivers. Transistors T1 and T2 form the mic preamplifier. Resistor R1 provides the necessary bias for the condenser mic while preset VR1 functions as gain control for varying its gain. In order to increase the audio power, the low-level audio output from the preamplifier stage is coupled via coupling capacitor C7 to the audio power amplifier built around BEL1895 IC.

Circuit diagram:



BEL1895 is a monolithic audio power amplifier IC designed specifically for sensitive AM radio applications that delivers 1 watt into 4 ohms at 6V power supply voltage. It exhibits low distortion and noise and operates over 3V-9V supply voltage, which makes it ideal for battery operation. A turn-on pop reduction circuit prevents thud when the power supply is switched on. Coupling capacitor C7 determines low-frequency response of the amplifier. Capacitor C9 acts as the ripple-rejection filter.

Capacitor C13 couples the output available at pin 1 to the loudspeaker. R15-C13 combination acts as the damping circuit for output oscillations. Capacitor C12 provides the boot strapping function. This circuit is suitable for low-power HAM radio transmitters to supply the necessary audio power for modulation. With simple modifications it can also be used in intercom circuits.

A Low Distortion Audio Pre amplifier

In an audio amplifier the quality of sound depends upon a number of factors, e.g. quality of active and passive components, circuit configuration, and layout. To an extent, the selection of components depends on the constructor’s budget. The discrete active components like transistors have been increasingly replaced by linear ICs, making the task of designer easier. With the passage of time, the general-purpose op-amps like LM741, which were being used in audio/hi-fi circuits, have become The preamplifier circuit presented here is based on a dual precision op-amp for the construction of a low distortion, high quality audio preamplifier.

Low Distortion Audio Pre-amplifier Circuit Diagram:

A dual op-amp OPA2604 from Burr-Brown is used for all the stages. The FET input stage op-amp was chosen in this context it is worthwile to mention another popular bi-polar architecture op-amp, the NE5534A. It has, no doubt, an exceptionally low noise figure of 4nV/ÖHz but rest of the specifications compared to OPA2604 are virtually absent in this IC. Also This IC is also capable of operating at higher voltage rails of ± 24V (max.). Also its input bias current (100 pA) is many orders lower than its bipolar counterpart’s. This ensures a multifold reduction in noise.

A channel seperation of 142 dB exists between In the circuit, buffer is essential for the proper working of the subsequent blocks. A nominal input impedance of 47k is offered by this stage which prevents overloading of the preamplifier. The tone control is a baxandall type filter circuit.The bandwidth limiter is basically a low-pass filter with an upper cut-off ceiling at the end of the useful audio spectrum. The gain at 10 kHz is approximately 17 dB.

The design is essentially 3-pole type and the upper frequency is set at 25 kHz. This lSetting the unit is fairly simple. Check the power leads feeding the IC for symmetrical voltages. High quality audio output from the line output socket is to be fed as the input signal to this preamplifier. Output of the preamplifier is fed to the power a The whole circuit consumes about 10 mA when the above-mentioned ICs are used. Power supply requirements are not critical as the circuit works on 7.5V to 15V DC.

Stereo Amplifier with Voltage Regulators

A simple stereo audio amplifier is built around two 7905 negative-voltage regulators (IC1 and IC2) and a few discrete components. The circuit will also work with other 79XX regulators if appropriate power supply is used. Regulator IC 7905 works as an amplifier for the voltages applied to common pin2 (Ground or GND). Also check the LM317 audio amplifier, another interesting circuit.
The minimal voltage drop over the standard 7905 is around 2V and it depends on the output current. Feedback resistors in the IC set the gain of the channel internally. The amplifier is a class-A audio amplifier. The minimal applicable value of R3 for the regulator 7905 is 8.2 to 10 ohms per 5W.

1W Stereo Amplifier with Voltage Regulators Circuit Diagram:

A

If the required output current for LS1 is below 100 mA, the value of resistor R3 can be 33 to 51 ohms per watt. The circuit works with any load resistance (R3 in parallel with LS1 as the load) under the condition that the regulator is not overloaded with current and power dissipation. However, it is preferable to use a loudspeaker with a high resistance (8 ohms, 16 ohms or more). The amplifier works well with low-impedance headphones having a resistance of 24 to 32 ohms. The voltage difference between the ground pin of 7905 and the output pin is fixed internally.
S2 is the on/off switch. Switch S1 is for mono/stereo selection. When switch S1 is closed, the amplifier works as a two-way mono amplifier. If S1 is open, the amplifier works as a stereo amplifier. If no input signal is applied, the DC voltage on the output of the regulator 7905 should be around –5V, which depends to some extent on the value of VR1. The maximum output current of 7905 can be up to 1A and the maximum power dissipation is up to 15W. Mount the regulator IC 7905 on a heat-sink with thermal resistance below 15°C/W.

High Fidelity MOSFET Power Amplifier 150 W

This amplifier is designed to be as flexible as possible, with no bad habits. Indeed, it will operate stably with supply voltages as low as +/-5V (completely pointless, but interesting), all the way to the maximum supply voltage of +/-70V. The only change that is needed is to trim the MOSFET bias pot! With the full supply voltage of +/-70V (which must not be exceeded!), RMS power is around 180W into 8 ohms, or 250W into 4ohms. Short term (or "music") power is typically about 240W into 8 ohms and 380W into 4 ohms. Note that depends to a very great degree on the power supply, and a very robust supply is an absolute requirement for tThe maximum output. In general, unless you really need the maximum possible power, I suggest that you limit the supply voltage to ±56V using a 40+40V transformer. You will get around 150W into 8 ohms from this supply voltage (short-term), but you also relax the demands placed on the MOSFETs and heatsinks. It is worth noting that a MOSFET amp will always produce less power than a bipolar transistor version using the same supply voltage. Even using an auxiliary supply will make only a small difference (one reason I elected not to add the extra complexity). A bipolar design using a ±70V supply can be expected to produce something in the order of 270W into 8 ohms, and well over 500W into 4 ohms. The specified MOSFETs have a rated Vds (saturated voltage, Drain to Source) of 12V at full current, and that is simply subtracted from the DC value of the supply voltage. Using the same ±70V supply with a MOSFET amp will give less power than quoted above

Basic Performance Figures

Low Power Version
As shown in the schematics below (figures 1 and 2), the amplifier can be made in high or low power version, and although there is a bit of vacant PCB real estate in the low power design, it is significantly cheaper to make and will be more than sufficient for most constructors. If this version is built (using only 1 pair of MOSFETs), it is essential to limit the supply voltage to +/-56V so that it can drive both 4 and 8 ohm loads without excess dissipation. With this voltage, expect about 100W continuous into 8 ohms, and around 150W into 4 ohms. Naturally, dual MOSFET pairs may be used at this voltage as well, providing much better thermal performance (and therefore cooler operation), far greater peak current capability and slightly higher power. This version may be used at any voltage from +/-25V to +/-42V.
                                                     Figure 1 - Low Power Version
 
High Power Version
The same PCB is used, but has an extra pair of MOSFETs. Since the devices are running in parallel, source resistors are used to force current sharing. Although these may be replaced by wire links, I do not recommend this. This version may be operated at a maximum supply voltage of +/-70V, and will give up to 180W RMS into 8 ohms, and 250W into 4 ohms. Short term (peak) power is around 240W into 8 ohms and 380W into 4 ohms. These figures are very much dependent on your power supply regulation, determined by the VA rating of the transformer, size of filter caps, etc.




                                                     Figure 2 - High Power Version

Although not shown, the transistors and MOSFETs are the same in this version as for the low power variant. The additional capacitors (C11 and C12) shown are to balance the gate capacitance. The P-Channel MOSFETs have significantly higher gate capacitance than their N-Channel counterparts, and the caps ensure that the two sides of the amp are roughly equal. Without these caps, the amp will almost always be unstable.

As noted above, the PCB is the same for both versions, but for Fig. 2 it is fully populated with 2 pairs of power MOSFETs. The high power version may also be used at lower supply voltages, with a slight increase in power, but considerably lower operating temperatures even at maximum output, and potentially greater reliability.

With both versions, the constructors page gives additional information, and the schematics there include an enhanced Zobel network at the output for greater stability even with the most difficult load. This is provided for on the PCB, and allows the amp to remain stable under almost any conditions.

The entire circuit has been optimised for minimum current in the Class-A driver, while still providing sufficient drive to ensure full power capability up to 25kHz. The slew rate is double that required for full power at 20kHz, at 15V/us, and while it is quite easy to increase it further, this amp already outperforms a great many other amps in this respect, and faster operation is neither required nor desirable.

    Note - There are actually two caps marked C5, and two marked C6. This is what is on the PCB overlay, and naturally was not found until it was too late. Since these caps cannot be mixed up, it will not cause a problem.

In both versions of the amp, R7 and R8 are selected to provide 5mA current through the voltage amplifier stage. You will need to change the value to use a different supply voltage ...

    R7 = R8 = Vs / 10 (k)   (Where Vs is one supply voltage only)

For example, to set the correct current for ±42V supplies ...

    R7 = R8 = 42 / 10 = 4.2k (use the next lower standard value - 3.9k)

Construction
The suggested power supply is completely conventional. Although a small amount of additional power can be obtained by using an auxiliary supply (to boost the rail voltage for the MOSFET drive stage), this is at the expense of greater complexity and more things to go wrong. The transformer for the supply should be matched to the expected power you wish to obtain from the amp. The following table shows the recommended transformer voltage and VA rating for a single channel - either use two transformers or a single unit with twice the VA rating shown for stereo.

    AC Volts    DC Volts    VA    Power (8Ω)
    20-0-20    +/-28V        100        40
    25-0-25    +/-35V        100        50
    30-0-30    +/-42           160        80
    40-0-40    +/-56V         200       150    (Recommended Supply Voltage)
    50-0-50    +/-70V         300       240

Note that all powers shown are "short term" or peak - continuous power will always be less as the supply collapses under load. Peak power levels are usually achieved (or approached) with most music because its transients are generally between 6dB and 10dB greater than the average power output. Transformer VA ratings shown are a guide only - larger or smaller units may be used, with a marginal increase or reduction of peak power. Always use at least the size shown for subwoofer use! Values in bold are preferred, and will give enough power for most systems along with optimum reliability and low operating temperature.

Figure 3 shows the power supply circuit diagram for a ±56V supply, and there is nothing new about it. As I always recommend, the bridge rectifier should be a 400V/35A chassis mount type, and should be properly chassis mounted using heatsink compound.

Filter capacitors must be rated to at least the nominal supply voltage, and preferably higher. If possible, use 105°C rated caps, and join the earthed terminals very solidly to form the star earthing point.

    Note - The fuse should be selected according to the size of the power transformer. For any toroidal transformer over 300VA, a soft start circuit is highly recommended. Use the transformer manufacturers suggested fuse - if this information is not available, ask the supplier - not me!

The DC supply must be taken from the capacitor terminals - never from the bridge rectifier. Using several small capacitors will give better performance than a single large one, and is usually cheaper as well. For example, the performance of 10 x 1,000uF capacitors is a great deal better (in all respects) than a single 10,000uF cap, at between 50% to 70% of the cost of the large unit. This lunch is not free, but it is heavily discounted

400W Stereo Marshall Leach Amplifier

400W Stereo Audio Amplifier based on the original Marshall Leach involvement, but has made some improvements. Regarding the power supply voltage to the +-75V. VC comparing the performance of the modified Leach 700W/2R on one common board of both channels, as well as protection and control circuits for the fans. Compared to the 700W version a bit different in wiring. Because some things in the 700W version is completely tightened to perfection.

 

                                               700W version could criticize a couple of things:

1st very high gain output stage resulting in deterioration of signal noise distance. Therefore 700W version even more noisy.

2nd The absence of multipliers Ube bias current control and maintain temperature stability diagram. The 700W version of the thermal stabilization solved by a single transistor, which can sometimes cause a great loss due to power control is fast enough and has some delays. Therefore JPA400 added to this multiplier.

3rd Protection Error on board speakers, the amplifier is less comfortable and it is necessary to add this protection to the side somewhere special plate.

4th no possibility to correct the offset voltage of the amplifier output, this has a rather large weight in the differential pair of transistors and voltage level. Here this is solved by means of trimmer connected to the input Mark

5th The work points the individual stages are laid pretty low, it will also cause an increase in total harmonic distortion as well as intermodulačního distortion.



All this is in JAP400 removed. The input amplifier is Mark with adjustable offset voltage. Mark is mainly due Preamplified signal for generating the actual end-impedance amplifiers and separates. The differential amplifier is a classic symmetrical with the current 5 mA per couple, which is about 2.5 mA each transistor. Equally, shifted the operating point voltage amplifier to approximately 13 mA. This modified driver will provide enough power for generating terminal transistor and is hard enough. At the end of this time is five pairs of end-type transistor 2SC5200 / 2SA1943. Current policy is converted into the number of transistors. It has a negative slope and replicates the characteristics of SOAR terminal transistors. Current protection for amplitude limitation limits the end-around transistors 7A. As has been mentioned on the thermal stabilization of the multiplier is used Ube, is formed by two NPN and PNP transistors.



The board also includes an amplifier circuit for the fan control. This circuit ensures that the fan speed control depending on temperature. At the temperature to 65 ° C, fan runs for about 30%, it greatly reduces noise. After exceeding this temperature, the fans start running at 100% and lights to signal overtemperature. fans again at reduced power switch at about 42 ° C. Thermal protection is associated with protection of the speakers at cooler temperatures exceeding 80 ° C, the speaker is disconnected. On board is a relay switch that allows stereo / bridge mode, the indikovám LED on the front panel. The amplifier also includes an auxiliary power source to the main board, formed by transistor stabilizer. Due to higher electric circuit protection circuit and fan control. There is also an indicator of an excited, solved by the presence of the indicator signal and clip detector.

LM386 Little Big Amplifier Circuit Diagram

The LM386, also known as JRC386 is one of the most used amplifiers integrated circuits, the reason is very simple, its versatility, low cost and consumption. An amplifier, as the name implies, amplifies, the signal increases in x times, depending on your configuration, in the case of the LM386 is an audio amplifier. It is very different from operational amplifiers as the LM741, these have different configuration requirements and use, since the LM386 audio amplifier is an innate, or whether it was designed to be an audio amplifier.

To get an idea of the grandeur of the LM386, the largest and best manufacturer of amplifiers, Marshall uses in their amplifiers miniature model MS-2 and MS-4 as output an integrated circuit manufactured by CCI NJM386.

 lm386


Features of LM386

The LM386 is a power amplifier designed for use in low power and low voltage applications. Its configuration is a Class AB amplifier, it consists of an IC 8 pin dual in line, DIP-8, with 3 basic types that are LM386N-1, LM386N-3 LM386N-4 and the most common of these is the LM386N -1. The gain is internally set at 20 times for technical reasons, but the addition of an external resistor or capacitor between pins 1 and 8 will increase the output gain up to 200 times.

The quiescent current is very low, consuming less than 30 mW with 5 Volt supply, making it ideal for circuits powered by batteries or batteries. Called IC power amplifier low voltage, he was considered the jewel for amateur projects where you need a good audio amplifier with the advantage of having fewer components, low power consumption and low voltage.
 

Its input resistance is 50k OHMs and the output impedance is 8 ohms and the LM386N-1 LM386N-3 and 32 ohms versions in LM386N-4 version. The consumption quiescent current is 4mA and if its distortion is very low, 0.2% (AV = 20, VS = 6V, RL = 8 [Ohm], PO = 125mW, f = 1 kHz).

Pin


Pin out LM386

Pin 1: Gain
Pin 2: Input -
Pin 3: Input +
Pin 4: Earth
Pin 5: Vout (Output)
Pin 6: Vs (Power)
Pin 7: Bypass
Pin 8: Gain

Pins 1 and 8 are control gain. When not connected (NC), the amplifier gain is 20 times. Adding a 10uF capacitor between them passes to gain 200 times. Intermediate values ​​and a resistor will vary the gain as described in the datasheet, we will see below.

Pin 2 is the negative input ( GND ) will usually land or - .

Pin 3 is the positive input that is the input signal to be amplified . A 10K ohm pot before the pin that adjusts the level of the input signal, ie , a volume control .

Pin 4 ( GND - Ground) and Pin 6 ( VCC + Vs ) are the power inputs for amplification , an electrolytic capacitor of at least 100uF between them near the IC prevents unwanted oscillations .

The pin 5 is the output of the amplifier. The electrolytic capacitor 250uF filter the DC component and the remaining AC vam to the speaker . A 0.05uF capacitor and a resistor of 10 Ohm pin 5 to ground is used to prevent high frequency oscillations .

Pin 7 is called bypass ( bypass ) , but the data sheet does not provide any additional detail about him or their use . But technically serves to reduce the noise ( humming ) input and also decrease the distortion
inter- modulation. It isolates the input stage high-gain power supply noise . A 100nF capacitor of 10uF can be used to this pin.

Below is a table with the main characteristics of the types of LM386

Chip Name Min Max Voltage Power Voltage Minimum Output Power

LM386N-1 4 Volts 12 Volts 250 mW 325 mW
3 LM386N-4 Volts 12 Volts 500 mW 700 mW
LM386N-4 5 Volts 18 Volts 700 mW 1,000 mW

Typical circuit LM386 amplifier with gain of 20 times

Typical


Under an amplifier circuit using the LM386 with a gain of 20 times, requires a minimum of external components, this makes it compact and simple.

Typical circuit LM386 amplifier with gain of 50 times


Typical

This is the LM386 scheme for a gain of 50 times, addition of the capacitor between pin 1 and 8 is used 1K2 ohm resistor for limiting the gain. Another change is the placement of a capacitor to ground on pin 7 which is the ByPass to avoid instabilities in the circuit, it should be done whenever the gain is more than 20 times.

Typical LM386 amplifier circuit with a gain of 200 times

Typical


Varying the gain of the LM386

To make the LM386 amplifier is more versatile, both pins 1 and 8 are used for gain control. With pins 1 and 8 open, without any component and the gain of 20 times or 26 dB. But if a capacitor is placed between pin 1-8, the internal configuration is ignored, and the gain will go up to 200 times or 46 dB. If we place a resistor in series with the capacitor, the gain can be adjusted to any value of 20x and 200x.

We see that the LM386 is an integrated amplifier ideal for amateur and professional circuit assemblies. Here is an IC that should not miss on the bench, and along with the 555 makes a perfect pair of multipurpose components.

2N3055 by 24 Watt Class A Amplifier


The supply voltage can be between 34V and 46V and the quiescent current should be set to 1.7A measured through R25 (a voltage of 0.75V must be measured over R25 for a quiescent current of just under 1.7A). R23 is a trimmer and must be set to maximum resistance (10kOhm) when powering up. Then the resistance of R23 must be decreased until the the quiescent current is achieved. If the amplifier is mounted on a big enough heatsink ( 0.6K/W at most) then the amplifier is very safe from thermal runaway. Intelligence must be used when choosing power and voltage ratings of resistors and capacitors.
