ABSTRACT

The aim of this project was to design and develop an audio power amplifier. The amplifier is mainly
for the CD, DVD players which are most common audio player today.
In this Project, we study the audio amplifier circuits. Moreover, study the flow of the whole system
from a music player to the loudspeakers. Each functions of the components in the amplifier.
Then the whole single ended audio power amplifier is built. After finish the whole have some
different test and measurement to define the performance of the amplifier.
Finally, the most important thing was using the amplifier to listen music and feels the different of
transistor amplifier.
INTRODUCTION

 Amplifier is the generic term used to describe a circuit which produces and increased
version of its input signal. However, not all amplifier circuits are the same as they are classified
according to their circuit configurations and modes of operation. In “Electronics”, small signal
amplifiers are commonly used devices as they have the ability to amplify a relatively small input
signal, for example from a Sensor such as a photo-device, into a much larger output signal to drive a
relay, lamp or loudspeaker for example. There are many forms of electronic circuits classed as
amplifiers, from Operational Amplifiers and Small Signal Amplifiers up to Large Signal and Power
Amplifiers.

The classification of an amplifier depends upon the size of the signal, large or small, its
physical configuration and how it processes the input signal, that is the relationship between input
signal and current flowing in the load.

Amplifier is a basic component of all the music systems available in market. The need of
this intermediate circuitry exists so that we can hear crystal clear music from the music systems.
Mini Audio Amplifier project is a mini version of such amplifier systems. This is easy to implement
and test with the help of audio jack. The signals given by an audio transmitter device such as cell
phone through a 3.5mm audio jack cable is very low in amplitude. Such a signal if given to the
speaker, the sound output given by the speaker will be very less and might not be audible even to
a nearby person. So instead we given the audio input to the amplifier circuitry.

The amplifier circuitry amplifies this audio signal. The amplified version of the audio input
is fed to the input of the speaker which then converts it into sound output. Audio frequency range
lies in the frequency range of 20Hz – 20KHz. The purpose of audio amplifier lies in to increase the
amplitude of signals lying in this frequency range and suppress the rest. So, the audio amplifier
circuitry is configuring in such way that it will multiply the audible range signals with a positive
gain factor. With the help of two potentiometers we can vary the gain factor or the volume of
the audio amplifier.

An audio amplifier is required in all the devices that deal with sound. To generate a sound
output out of any device we need an audio amplifier. Devices that generally using audio amplifier
is: -

1) Television Set: The basic speakers built into televisions are generally too small and
inadequate to deliver the kind of good sound you deserve. If we have spent all that time selecting a
large-screen television and setting up the perfect viewing environment, the audio should properly
complement the experience.

2) Smart Phone: Consumer demand for louder ring tones, MP3 capabilities and 3D sound
effects has impacted the importance of amplifier in cellular phone designs. Thus, understanding
audio amplifier technology (Class-AB and Class-D) is crucial when integrating features such as
hands-free mode. These features directly influence battery life when listening to voice or playing
music in our Smart phones.

3) Music System: An Audio amplifier or power amplifier used in home audio systems and
musical instrument amplifiers like guitar amplifiers. Power amplifiers make the signal whether it is
recorded music, a live speech, live singing, an electric guitar or the mixed audio of an entire band
through a sound reinforcement system audible to listeners. It is the final electronic stage in a typical
audio playback chain before the signal is sent to the loudspeakers and speaker enclosures.
CONCLUSION

This is a compact audio powerhouse ideal for guitar or PA work or for use as a general-purpose
subwoofer or hi-fi amplifier. Most of the people prefer MOSFET because of their legendary ruggedness.
This MOSFET amplifier module which produces 200W into a 4 Ohm load. It has a rated power output of
140W into 8W and 200W into 4 Ohm. Frequency response is within 1dB from 20Hz to 80kHz. Total
harmonic distortion is rated at less than 0.1% up to full power and signal-to-noise ratio is better than other
forms of Amplifier.
