Discrete Class AB Transistor Audio Power Amplifier Circuit Diagram
This is a class AB transistor power amplifier. It is a simple amplifier to build, uses standard parts and is stable and reliable. The entire circuit utilizes commonly available components and may be simply built over a general-purpose board. But this amplifier has very good sound quality.
There are eleven transistors, including four in the output stage. Q1 and Q2 transistor must be between 3 and 5 amperes power transistors. Q4 and Q5 must be between 100mA and 500mA driver transistors. Other transistors are 10mA small driver transistors. Q1, Q4 and Q2, Q5 are complementary pairs, they make complementary darlington pairs.

| R2 | 150Ω ¼W |
| R3 | 1KΩ ¼W |
| R4 | 0.22Ω 2W |
| R5 | 0.22Ω 2W |
| R6 | 39KΩ ¼W |
| R7 | 1KΩ ¼W |
| R8 | 120Ω ¼W |
| R9 | 6.8KΩ ¼W |

| Q2 | 2SB507 |
| Q3 | 2SA733 |
| Q4 | 2SB560 |
| Q5 | 2SD400 |
| Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q10 | 2SA733 |
| Q11 | 2SD400 |
| LS1 | 4Ω 20W SPEAKER |
Power output of the amplifier
| Supply voltage (Vs) | = 20V |
| Speaker impedance (R) | = 4Ω |
| Peak to peak voltage (Vpp) | = 20-2 =18V |
| Peak voltage | = 9V |
| Maximum output (Pmax) | = 9V2/2R |
| = 81/8 | |
| = 10W |
10W is much enough for the day today home usage.
Amplification of this amplifier (A)
| A | = R6/R13+1 |
| = 39KΩ/2.2KΩ+1 | |
| = 18 |
Volume control can be added to the circuit by connecting a 10KΩ POT in series to the input of the amplifier.
Q1 and Q2 must be kept sufficiently cool, so it is mounted on a suitable heat sink. If you used single heat sink please use insulation between transistors and heat sink.

Please send your ideas, which are very important for our success…
This is a neat and simple circuit. It should be easy to build and will work great.
thanks
oh!awesome!
(Portuguese From Brazil) que maravilha esses progetos eu realmente amei são fáceis e praticos
Nós do Brasil escrevemos pro”G”eto com “J”! Enfim, o projeto é sim muito bom. Vou montar e avaliar e comparar com o TEA2025B, que é o padrão para caixas de computador. O objetivo é construir um amplificador básico com ótimas respostas para o dia-a-dia na frente do computador.
i just want to ask,, where did they got the value of 2 in solving the voltage peak to peak???
nice
i am using MS2475 transistor in my design but unfortunately this transistor is not easily available.so any one can tell me about its replacement.i am designing my amplifier in ADS .any one know any thing about it .contact me .thanks
Nice, very nice!
thank you very much
AS A PRACTICAL
is it ok to use 5watts in a resistor .22ohm rather than a 2 watss resistor?
Hi guys,
If you are beginner and want to build your own amplifier circuit then visit this link to watch this video and have your complete kit for building your great tda2030a / tda2050 based stereo amplifier.

These are the requirements: a minimum of 8W RMS power to 8Ω speakers with a maximum of 1% second harmonic distortion and 0.2% third harmonic distortion. Single chip integrated IC amplifiers are not allowed. BJT and MOSFETs in class A, AB, D or circlotron topology are recommended.
Is this circuit suitable for my requirements and is there any simpler circuit possible?
I’m building up this circuit as a hobby. My wish is to build up the circuit in a pcb.
Does any one mind sending the pcb layout to me?
Can I use 9v battery to operate this circuit
I am working on my degree project,and I need assistance on performance evaluation of 100w audio amplifier,
Thanks.
Can any one tell me the replacement of B560 and B507 transistors?
can you tell me the advantages and give me the real time applications of this thing. how does this differ from other audio amplifiers. please reply asap
M not getting the components of the ckt in proteus plzzz…tell me another tool so that i can easily get the components
I made this. But gain was 1.2~1.5V/V. I think you need to check the components.
This is a simple and easy to build amplifier circuit with good results, and single supply!
By the way… yes the output are complementary pairs, but are not Darlington, are Sziklai arrangement.

What thus +12…20V means??? voltage from 12V to 20V?? and also what I can put to that INPUT??? Is it okay to connect it with a microphone coil??? Thank yOU…
