7W audio amplifier using TBA810

circuit diagram of 7W audio amplifier using tba810

Here is another circuit in the series of audio power amplifiers. Previously we had already posted 3W and 20W audio amplifiers using transistors. Now we use an integrated circuit instead of transistors for designing audio amplifier circuits. By using IC TBA810 one can get a power output of 7W. The audio power amplifier featuring the TBA810 integrated circuit is shown in figure 1. This IC incorporated build-in-terminal shutdown, which automatically reduces the output in the event of sustained overloads or if the heat sinking arrangement is inadequate. We use a…
