TDA1516 amp gives 24W power in BTL mode.
BTL setup boosts output by doubling voltage to speaker.
It uses 12V DC power supply to run the IC.
Capacitors help with filtering and smooth working.
Audio signal goes into pin 13 through capacitor C1.
C1 blocks DC and lets AC audio pass into amp.
Inside IC the signal is amplified by two amps in BTL.
One amp drives positive side and other drives negative (inverted) side.
This gives bigger voltage swing and more power.
Output goes to speaker through pin 5 positive and pin 9 negative.
Capacitor C2 across power lines blocks DC and passes AC signal.
Capacitor C3 near power pins keeps voltage steady and blocks noise.
These capacitors help avoid distortion.
Speaker is 4Ω load turns electric signal into sound.
Speaker works in BTL mode for max output.
Switch S1 turns amplifier ON or OFF.
TDA1516 has safety features like thermal shutdown and short circuit protection.
Formulas:
Output Power:
Power (P) to speaker:
P = (Vrms²) / RL
where,
- Vrms is the voltage across speaker
- RL is the speaker resistance in 4Ω
Gain:
Voltage gain (Av) is fixed in TDA1516 BTL mode.
From datasheet a typical gain = 20 dB
Av = 10^(20/20) = 10
Means output voltage is 10 times input voltage.
How to Build:
For Designing a 24W Power Amplifier Circuit using IC TDA1516 follow the below mentioned steps for connections:
