8 Watt Audio Power Amplifier Circuit Diagram
This is the 8 Watt Audio Power Amplifier Circuit Diagram. This amp can be used as a simple booster, the heart of a more complicated amplifier or used as a guitar amp. It is very small and portable unit and can be powered through 12V battery. I built the circuit on a Vero Board and had to add extra inductors, capacitors and resistors to prevent oscillation. Circuit diagram: 8 Watt Audio Power Amplifier Circuit Diagram Parts: R1 = 47K R2 = 2.2R/1W R3 = 220R/1W R4 = 2.2R/1W C1 = 100nF-63V C2 = 10uF-25V C3 = 470uF-25V C4 = 2000uF-25V C5 = 100nF-63V IC1 = LM383 SPKR = 4ohm/8W Notes: IC1 must be installed on a heat sink. C1 is for filtering and to prevent oscillation and should not be omitted. The circuit can be built on a Vero Board, universal solder board or PC board, the PC board is preferred. The circuit draws about 880Ma at 12 V. By swapping the values of R2 and R3; you can turn this amplifier into a guitar amp with no preamp required. If you can't find 2000uF, then replace C4 with ...
