Electronic Ear

Circuit below is a very sensitive 3-transistor amplifier using a speaker transformer. This can be wound on a short length of ferrite rod as show above or 150 turns on a 10mH choke. The biasing of the middle transistor is set for 3 V supply. During idle conditions and the quiescent current is just 5mA, the second and third transistors […]

TDA8932B/33(B) Class D Audio Amplifier in Symmetric Supply Single Ended Configuration

We can also operate TDA8932B/33(B) from a symmetrical supply. On this diagram, three half supply voltage buffers are disabled. When supplied from a symmetrical supply, HVPREF (Pin 11), HVP1 (pin 30) and HVP2 (Pin 19) should be connected to ground. Here’s the circuit diagram: Compared to an asymmetrical supply, a symmetrical supply has some benefits. First, the size of the […]
