Designers often separate a problem into a number of smaller activities. This helps focus
their thoughts and make the development of the design easier to control. By breaking
the problem down into smaller sections it also helps ensure that no
important features are left out.
Design Brief - The design brief is a short description that clearly states the aim of the design
project and in a few words states the kind of product that is needed. For example,
Design a case is not very helpful to a designer.Design a case to hold a small
amplifier circuit gives the designer a clearer focus without applying restrictions.
Investigation - When a designer has isolated a problem, the next task is to find out as much
background information as possible to help them develop an effective solution. A
comprehensive investigation will collect relevent information from a variety of sources
that are likely to affect your product.
Specification - Once you have a clear understanding of the problem, you can work out
the specification for your Amplifier. A specification is a list of things that the final design
must good specification will list the important features in order of importance
Initial Ideas- Once you have written a specification, the next stage is to draw some
initial ideas. Designers try to come up with as many ideas as possible. Even if you
think the idea might be a little silly, you should include it because it may be useful later.

The TBA 820M audio amplifier is a low power amplifier that is capable
of generating 1.2 Watts output.
The TBA 820M is an 8 pin IC, that can operate from supply voltages as low as 3V and
does not consume much current when there is no signal applied. The IC also has the
advantage that there is little distortion when the signal is amplified.
The things that need to gather together the following
equipment before you start construction of your circuit.
Gain Setting (Inverting Input). The gain is set by Rf and R5. R5 is 6k and
Pin 2 inside the IC, look at the schematic on page 2.
Choose Rf according to what we needs.
Pin 8 Ripple Rejection. Add a capacitor there, if you hear hum or buzz
through your speaker that is not caused by ground loops.

Having only one channel of amplification in a chassis is regarded as the
best--but most costly--solution; it is intended to provide the utmost sound quality,
all other considerations are secondary. Since everything in the box is devoted to
a single channel, a monoblock amp is generally (not always!) more powerful than a
stereo or multichanel amp. There is no electrical connection between the
channels except at the wall socket, and so signal seperation is maximized.
The amplifier can be placed close to the speaker (as in, within inches)
minimizing the amount of speaker cable needed.
Cost: You buy a seperate amp for each channel in your system.
It's not uncommon for a single monoblock to cost the same as a stereo amp.
There are those who argue that it's better to have short interconnect cables than
to have short speaker cables. One thing is guaranteed:
cables or interconnect cables.
Some speakers (Polk SDA series, for example) are designed to work with amplifier
channels that share a ground path for the two channels. (These speakers are
not common.) Seperate amplifiers don't have that common ground connection.
You need to be able to "plug in" each amplifier seperately. Your home wiring
needs to have outlets near where each amp is located. You may need to hire an
electrician to "beef up" the wiring in your house so that the monoblocks
have a source of enough electrical power
The main problem with the class-B amplifier is that there is a distortion in the waveform
where it crosses zero. The transistor characteristic becomes nonlinear as it approaches
cutoff. The transistor provides to little current as the voltage approaches zero. This causes
what in known as crossover distortion. By changing the bias point so that there is a
small current flow when the signal input is zero provides an overlap between the two
transistors and one transistor starts to conduct before the other turns off. If the overlap
is properly adjusted the extra current from the transistor that is just turning on
will make up for the deficiency in the transistor that is turning off.
When this offset bias is used the amplifier is known as a class-AB amplifier.
The disadvantage of such amplifier is that there can be a distortion while switching of
transistors takes between positive and negative values. Nowadays, many Class D
amplifiers are used in Subwoofers. They are inexpensive to build and the logic
is that the switching distortion is not important in a subwoofer.

There are those who argue that it's better to have short interconnect cables than to
have short speaker cables. One thing is guaranteed: short cables do less
damage to the signal than long cables, whether we're talking
speaker cables or interconnect cables.

RF Power Amplifier
device to convert a low-power radio-frequency signal into a larger signal of
significant power, typically for driving the antenna of a transmitter
Linear Power Amplifier
A family of RF power detector integrated in loop controllers for PA
power control applications in cellular handsets.
FET Communication Power Amplifier
Output pin 5 is held at half the supply voltage, and the speaker, LS1,
has to be connected via a d.c. blocking capacitors.
-Switch S1c selects capacitor of different value, C10,C11 and C12. The
-smaller the value of the capacitor, the greater its reactance at low
-frequency, and the more the low frequency output to the speaker is attenuated.
Response
Turning now to the actual power amplifier circuit. The potentiometer VR1 acts
as the Volume control and resistor R1 pre-set the gain of the circuits. The d.c.
blocking capacitor for the input is located on the preamplifier board. If the power
amplifier is used with other compenent, fit a 2.2F electrolytic d.c.
blocking capacitor in series with the input.
The purpose of a power amplifier, in very simple terms, is to take a signal from a
source device and make it suitable for driving a loudspeaker.Ideally, the only thing
different between the input signal and the output signal is the strength of the signal.
The project of power amplifier that we done are not ideal.The output signal of all
amplifiers contain additional unwanted components that are not present in the
input signal which these additional characteristics may be lumped together
and are generally known as distortion.
The power amplifier that we done have the power ratings of 1 watt. This due to
various load impedances the units for load impedance are ohms.The rated power
output of an amplifier is understood to be its maximum output, it in no way means
that the amplifier can only be used at this output. For example, if an amplifier is
rated at 100 watts, the output can be anything between zero and this maximum
rated value. Chances are that the amp can probably put out more if the input signal
is overdriven, however the quality of the output will degrade rapidly. as distortion.
If the amplifier is overdriven most probably the consequences of getting the
speaker damage is higher.Based on the circuit diagram, the higher the resistance
value of RL the higher the source power needed to achieve high power output.
Moreover the harmonic distortion also will increase with output power at a certain point.
Mostly the harmonic distortion value is higher at the point of nearing the max
output power which is 1 watt for the audio power amplifier that we done.
There are three functional stages in an amplifier block which consists of power supply
, input stage and output stage.The primary purpose of a power supply in a power
amplifier is to take the power from the power source and convert it to a DC voltage.
This is due to semiconductor devices used inside the equipment require DC voltage.
The general purpose of the input stage of a power amplifier is to receive and prepare the
input signals for amplification by the output stage.The output stage of an amplifier
is the portion which actually converts the weak input signal into a much more
powerful replica which is capable of driving high power to a speaker. The output
stage of an amplifier also interfaces to the speakers.
Noise on the other hand is not been detected that much in the circuit that we
done due its low power rating. Generally, the more powerful the amplifier, the more
noise it will put out. If you turn on an amplifier and listen to a speaker connected
to the amplifier you can clearly hear a hissing sound. This pretty much represents the
noise floor of the amplifier.
Basically audio power amplifier works as a unit of mechanism that increases a
input signal strength and release it as a strong output.
Generally amplifier increases the amplitude of an audio wave from the input to
blast up the speaker. The amplifier consists mainly from transistors majoring from
mosfet type of transistor.
