Brutus – Circuit Audio power Ampli�er stereo with tda7294 bridge 2x 170 W July 29, 2011 TDA7294 Bridge stereo 3D Board The circuit of the amplifier with TDA7294 was a big hit among our readers, so bring more than this version of the amplifier with TDA 7294 “Brutus,” this is an application bridge to the tda7294 that can provide up to 170 Watts @ 8ohms, 38 VDC. The TDA7294 integrated circuit developed by SGS Thompson (www.st.com), allows you with little money, have a complete amplifier, it is designed as an AB class audio amplifier and is ideal for use in home systems Theater and high quality amplifiers for easy assembly. It is capable of working with 4, 8 and 16 Ohms loads (speakers). It is capable of delivering 100 Watts @ 4 Ohms, VS = + – 29V, 100 Watts @ 8 Ohms, Vs = + – 38V. The total distortion is only 0.1% at PO = 0.1 to 50 Watts and F = 20Hz at 20KHz. In this version of Bridge or Bridge amplifier, keep in mind the impedance of the speakers! 8 Ohms is the minimum recommended is 16 ohms using only voltage up to +­38Volts. R = 8 Ohms VS =+­25VDC, PO = 150 Watts R = 16 Ohms Vs = +­35VDC, Po = 170 watts Diagram of Brutus – Schematic circuit ampli�er with TDA 7294 – 170 Watts x2 – click for enlarge TDA7294 Bridge stereo schematic The circuit is divided into two main parts the power supply and the power amplifier. Power supply for Brutus – The power supply is composed of a 18­0­18 to 26­0­26 @ 350VA transformer, The bridge rectifier must be a GSIB2580 or equivalent, the capacitors can be from 4.700μF/50V Up to 10.000μF/50V. There are also 2 ceramic capacitors and 2 resistors, the function of these resistors is to discharge the large electrolytic capacitors, when you turn off the circuit. Power amplifier – The amplifier part is configured to work in stereo bridged stereo, using 4 integrated circuits, resistors R11, R12, R17, R18 (R) and R13, R14, R20, R21 (L) determine the gain of the amplifier. With these components is set to 30 dB. The mute/Stand­by circuit is connected directly to the VCC of the circuit. The input impedance is determined by the resistors R4 and R9. When assembling the integrated circuits in the heatsink, you must use insulated bushings to avoid electrical contact between the metal body of the IC and the heatsink. thermal pad Suggested PCB mounting Brutus – bridged stereo ampli�er 2 x 170 Watts (300 + watts total) – click in images for enlarge TDA7294 Bridge stereo PCB bottom TDA7294 Bridge stereo PCB layout TDA7294 Bridge stereo PCB Silk top About Brutus circuit assembly The printed circuit board suggested for this assembly is single face, to facilitate mainly the life of the beginners … however if it is simple face there comes Jumpers!
