Description

Here is a simple and humble 2 Watts mini audio amplifier circuit suitable for small pocket radios and other portable audio gadgets.The circuit is based on Phillips Semiconductors IC TDA 7052.The amplifier can be run even from a 3V Mercury button cell.This makes it ideal for battery operated gadgets.

The IC TDA7052 is a mono output amplifier coming in a 8-lead DI package (DIP). The device is mainly designed for battery-operated portable audio circuits. The features of TDA 7052 include ,no external components needed,  no switch-on or switch-off click sounds , great overall stability ,very low power consumption(quiescent current 4mA) , low THD, no  heat sinks required and short-circuit proof.

The gain of TDA 7052 is fixed internally at 40 dB. . To compensate the reduction of output power due to low voltage supply  the TDA7052 uses the Bridge-Tied-Load principle (BTL) which can provide  an output  of around 1 to 2 W  Rms(THD = 10%) into an 8 Ohm load with a power supply of 6 V.

In the circuit the potentiometer can be used to control the volume. Capacitor C1 and C2 are meant for  filtering the supply voltage if a battery eliminator is used as supply source. For operations using a battery C1 and C2 are not necessary.

Mini Guitar Bass Amplifier

Output power: 6W into 4 Ohm load, FET input stage - Passive Tone Control. Tiny, portable Guitar Amplifiers are useful for practice on the go and in bedroom/living room environment. Usually, they can be battery powered and feature a headphone output. This project is formed by an FET input circuitry, featuring a High/Low sensitivity switch, followed by a passive Tone Control circuit suitable to Guitar or Bass.

After the Volume control, a 6W IC power amplifier follows, powered by a 12-14V dc external supply Adaptor or from batteries, and driving a 4 Ohm 10 or 13cm (4"/5") diameter car loudspeaker. Private listening by means of headphones is also possible.

Mini Portable Guitar Amplifier Circuit

Mini Portable Guitar Amplifier Circuit

This mini amplifier was meant to be used in conjunction with an electric guitar to do some monitoring of low consumption, mainly for practice, either through a small speaker or headphones. The complete circuit, speaker, batteries, input and output can be locked in a small box the size of a pack of cigarettes, or can also be installed in a real pack of cigarettes, as some units and made available on the market .

This design can be used in three ways:

• Loudspeaker amplifier: when powered by a 9V alkaline battery it can deliver about 1.5W peak output power to the incorporated loudspeaker.
• Headphone amplifier or low power loudspeaker amplifier: when powered by a 3V battery (2x1.5V cells) it can drive any headphone set type at a satisfactory output power level or deliver to the incorporated loudspeaker about 60mW of output power. This configuration is useful for saving battery costs.
• Fuzz-box: when powered by a 3V battery (2x1.5V cells) and having its output connected to a guitar amplifier input the circuit will behave as a good Fuzz-box, showing an output square wave with marked rounded corners, typical of valve-circuits output when driven into saturation.

22 Watts Mini Subwoofer Circuit TDA1516 with Adjustable Frequency

The subwoofer is a subwoofer or a speaker to reproduce low frequencies, devotee of 20 Hz to 150 Hz electronic circuit diagram below shows the details of a scheme of the main amplifier TDA1516 22 watt in 4 ohm car subwoofer driver. This device is designed for an existing stereo amplifier, often requires adding another blow to the music of driving a subwoofer.

The amplifier uses BTL is a good and cheap ((Bridge Tied Load channels) 13-pin IC TDA1516 from Philips is now NXP Semiconductors), which may provide a small number of components and 22W at 4 ohm load voltage 12 volt car battery default.
