Description: The circuit presented is a 20W audio amplifier utilizing the LM1875 integrated circuit (IC). The LM1875 is a high-quality, low-distortion audio amplifier IC rated for 20 watts, available in a TO-220 package. This IC includes several built-in features such as thermal shutdown, current limiting, high gain, and robust current handling capabilities, allowing it to operate over a wide range of conditions.
The 20W audio amplifier circuit is designed around the LM1875 IC, which is particularly suited for audio applications due to its low distortion characteristics. The circuit typically includes a power supply section that provides the necessary voltage and current to the LM1875. It is important to ensure that the power supply voltage is within the specified range for optimal performance.
The input stage of the amplifier often incorporates capacitive coupling to block any DC offset from the audio source, ensuring that only the AC audio signals are amplified. Resistors may be used to set the gain of the amplifier, allowing for customization based on the specific application requirements. The output stage is connected to a speaker, where the amplified audio signal is delivered.
Thermal management is crucial in this design, as the LM1875 can generate significant heat during operation. A suitable heatsink must be attached to the IC to dissipate heat effectively, preventing thermal shutdown during prolonged use. Additionally, the circuit may include bypass capacitors to filter out noise from the power supply and ensure stable operation.
The current limiter feature of the LM1875 protects against overcurrent conditions, which could potentially damage the amplifier or the connected speaker. This feature ensures that the output current remains within safe limits even during demanding audio playback.
Overall, the 20W audio amplifier circuit using the LM1875 IC is an efficient and reliable solution for audio amplification, suitable for various applications ranging from home audio systems to portable speaker designs. Proper implementation of the design guidelines will yield a high-performance audio amplifier capable of delivering quality sound with minimal distortion.Here is the circuit of 20W audio amplifier using LM1875 IC. LM1875 is a very high quality low distortion 20 Watt audio amplifer IC available in TO-220 package.

This amplifier is of such high quality that it would be an understatement to call it a HIFI amplifier. According to HIFI-confirmed-Finland, the frequency response must be direct and distortion <1% 20-20 kHz. Our power amplifier circuit meets the above requirements for bandwidth 5Hz - 500 kHz, however, the frequency band is limited to prevent interference. The amplifier meets the requirements for a reference amplifier, which is suitable for measurement and comparison operations. Small 12-24V voltage system amplifiers operating in the power and properties are somewhat modest, for instance, testing decent speakers. The amplifier is also suitable for demanding PA use.
When music occurs at shallow close 20Hz sound levels, the whole amplifier power reserve may need to be temporarily used. This happens especially when the low-frequency emphasis equalizer or amplifier is used, for example, TV. Watching a movie with lots of sound effects, if the power is not enough in that situation, the sound from the speakers is distorted, reducing the enjoyment of hearing or even damaging the speaker drivers.
The distortion of human hearing range is only about 20 Hz-20 kHz. The hi-fi speaker gamut extends at its best to 25kHz and the hearing area of bats "remains" at 150 kHz, so what are the practical benefits of the amplifier's superior frequency characteristics? The power of less than 1% distortion mentioned in the title 220W blue means the so-called total maximum amount of distortion. This includes TIM distortion (Transient intermodulation) as well as IM-distortion (intermodulation-distortion). TIM distortion occurs in connection with high-speed percussion sounds, such as the sound of dishes on drums. If the amplifier's share of this distortion is high, the amplifier will not be able to play the sound clean, but the sound will be distorted.
The higher the frequencies the amplifier is capable of playing, the less is TIM distortion. If the amplifier would be able to repeat 600 kHz, distortion would not occur at all. IM distortion means that the amplifier generates excess denominated, the so-called undesirable ghost signals. For example, fed in to 19 kHz. And 20 kHz, consists of the difference between 1kHz. Safety Because this amplifier has AC parts, its construction is permitted only in the technical work of teachers. Even in this case, the device should be checked by experts before connecting it to the network. Although the equipment has been revised, it is worth remembering that even the only speaker outputs may at best affect almost 70V the effective voltage.
Therefore, caution is necessary during building and operation. For instance, the speaker terminals should be protected against contact. Building instructions and testing of the amplifier circuit board components will be worth and an amplifier solder test in three stages: 1) The components of the power side, and all the cables signal cables except installed 2) any other circuit board components plus not only hybrid circuit STK 4231 3) STK 4231 placed and cooled, and the input signals the wires connected.
Installation of the power-side components and testing should be done carefully. The transformer wires insulation must first be removed carefully or checked that this has already been done. Then the transformer conductors order is checked on the transformer side.
The circuit board parts include STK4231II Hybrid, Led green, resistors of different values, ceramic and plastic capacitors, a rectifier, fuse holders and fuses, a coil, line voltage parts, potentiometer, RCA connectors, speaker output screws, and a cooling unit.
