400 and 600 WATT AMPLIFIER WITH IRFP460 MOSFET CIRCUITS
Actrk 400/600 Watt
[read here...]
Two versions of a robust module capable of delivering high powwer for extended periods. The Actrk400 uses 6 n-channel Mosfets in the output stage to deliver around 400 watts into 4 ohms while the Actrk600 uses 12 n-channel Mosfets in the output stage to deliver power in excess of 600 watts into 4 ohms. One constructor has achieved almost 900 watts with the Actrk600 layout using 12 IRFP460 Mosfets.

BA5406 Stereo Amplifier Circuit

In the circuit diagram shown, BA5406 is configures to deliver 5×2 watts into 4 ohm loudspeakers at a supply offer voltage of 9 volts. Capacitor C3 is a power supply filter capacitor. C11 and C12 are input DC decoupling capacitors for the left and right channels. C3 and R2 forms a Zobel network for the left output whereas C6 & R3 forms identical for the correct channel.
Purpose of the Zobel network is to cut back oscillations and improve high frequency stability of the amplifier. Potentiometers R5 and R6 serves as the quantity control for the left and right channels. CapacitorsC4 and C8 couple the outputs of the amplifier to the speakers. C9 and C10 are noise filtering capacitors. C1 and C5 are bootstrap capacitors for the left and right channels.

uA 741-Square Wave Generator

A square wave generator with IC UA741 range shown here.The circuit uses positive feedback to the Schmitt trigger action and negative feedback to measure the time of the waveform.
Let us assume that the output is high and the capacitor C1 is fully discharged.C1 now begins to charge through R2 and C1 R1.When tension rises above the junction of R3 and R4, the output changes rapidly totally negative voltage.C1 Now begins the unloading and reloading in the direction.Again contrast, when the negative voltage across C1 falls below that at pin 3, the circuit is returned quickly to totally positive repetitions value.The output endless cycle.
The square wave frequency can be varied by varying POT R1.The frequency range of the circuit depends on the value of R3, R4 and C1.

9V Portable Headphone Amplifier
After several requests of the correspondents, the decision to design a headphone amplifier 9V power was finally taken. The main requirement was to feed the circuit by a common, PP3 (transistor radio) alkaline batteries. Therefore, the circuit implementation of a low current draw was absolutely necessary, while retaining high quality.
The emergence of low-noise 5534 operational amplifier at a reasonable price was much appreciated by audio designers. Now it is difficult or impossible to design a specific phase that has the performance of 5534, without the complexity unacceptable. 5534 operational amplifiers are available from various sources, in a conventional 8-pin dil format. This version is internally compensated for gains of three or more, but requires a small external capacitor (5-15pF) for unity gain stability. The 5532 is a convenient pack of two 5534s in an 8-pin device with internal unity gain compensation, since there are no spare pins.
The 5534 / 2 is a low distortion and low noise device also has the ability of low-impedance load to full voltage swing, while maintaining low distortion. It is fully output short-circuit. Therefore, this circuit is carried out with a single 5532 chip forming a pair of stereo amplifiers, invest, have a current gain of about 3.5 alternating and capable of delivering up to 3.6 V peak to peak 32 Ohm load (corresponding to 50mW RMS) less than 0.025% total harmonic distortion (1 kHz and 10 kHz).
Considering that the average current drawing a power of 15 mW per channel is about 12-13mA (both channels driven), this headphone amplifier will become a "must" for many DIY enthusiasts who need a device High quality, high performance laptop.

Preamplifier Bass and Treble Controls
Need a tone control, this module can be inserted into the chain between the Control Center and power amplifier. The circuit is based on an original design by Reg Williamson, published in Electronics World + Wireless World, circuit ideas, January 1991.
The tone control circuit will take the form of any of the traditional low treble adjustment, or the type of shelves, which is similar to a "tilt" control, but with separate bass and treble. Asymptotic slopes for both are about 4dB/octave, but begin to level off at 100 Hz and 10 kHz, with a maximum of ± 15 dB at the ends of the audio band.
Component values in parentheses are the shelving of control. In this case, the platform starts around 250 Hz and 4 kHz, flatten to a maximum of ± 6dB an octave above or below the central point is 1 kHz. Reactive elements for low-end includes a generalized impedance converter, which simulates an inductor in series with a resistor (spinner).
When set to the centers of their respective electrical controls, equalizers reactive elements are almost out of circuit. With these settings, the circuit behaves as a unity gain amplifier with 100% negative votes. Still, the reactive elements can be changed completely with a DPST on / off.
As with the other modules in this series, each electronic card can be fitted in a standard: Hammond extruded aluminum cases are well suited to accommodate the tables in this preamp. In particular, instances of size 16 x 10.3 x 5.3 cm or 22 x 10.3 x 5.3 cm look very good when stacked. See below an example of the possible arrangement of the front and back of this module.
