Description
This is a 19 watt simple amplifier circuit diagram using IC LA4440 from Sanyo. It uses very less components other than the IC LA4440. A very high quality circuit with respect to its cost and ideal for beginners.
Here IC LA 4440 is wired as a bridge amplifier to deliver a 19 W Rms on a 4 Ohm speaker. The IC has built in thermal, over voltage and short circuit protection. The IC also incorporates a audio muting function, but that is not used here.
Notes.
- Use a 12 V DC power supply able to deliver at least 3A current. IC can withstand up to 25 volt, but I prefer it should not be anything more than 16V.
- Don’t forget to fit a proper heat sink with IC.
- Assemble the board on a good quality PCB. Carefully understand the specifications of LA 4440 given below before proceeding
- Use a 4 Ohm speaker as a load. 8 Ohm speaker can also be used but the power output will drop to half (9.5 W) .
- For stereo assemble two copies of the amplifier given here.
