A car stereo amplifier is really important because it boosts the sound signals from the stereo system giving enough power to make the speakers work well.
The circuit we are looking at uses the TDA1553 chip which is known for being a strong Class B amplifier.
This chip is specially designed for car radios making it small and efficient while needing very few extra parts.
What is cool is that this circuit can power two speakers that each have a resistance of 4 ohms, which means it can produce a strong and clear sound that makes listening to music even better.

The circuit diagram above clearly displays the TDA1553 integrated circuit along with capacitors used for decoupling and filtering a power supply and two 4 ohm speakers.
It is designed to work with a 12V DC power supply, which is usually taken from a car battery.
Capacitors C1 and C2 are important for decoupling the power supply helping to stabilize the input voltage and reduce any unwanted noise.
The audio input right signal goes to pins 1 and audio input left signal goes to pin 13 of the TDA1553 IC.
Coupling capacitors C4 and C5 are used to block any DC components that could disrupt the input signals.
The TDA1553 IC amplifies the audio signal and works in a bridge tied load (BTL) setup.
This means that both the left and right channels use two amplifiers which greatly increases the power output.
The amplified audio signals are sent to the connected 4 ohm speakers, speaker1 right and speaker2 left providing a strong and clear audio experience.
Additionally, the On / Off switch in the diagram allows for switching between different operating modes such as standby, mute and normal operation.
This is helpful for saving power and reducing noise when the circuit is not in use.
Formulas with Calculations:
Below are the formulas with calculations for Simple Car Stereo Amplifier Circuit using IC TDA1553
Power Output (Pout):
The output power for a Class B amplifier in bridge mode can be calculated as:
Pout = Vsupply2 / 2 * Rload
where,
- Vsupply is the supply voltage of 12V in the circuit.
- Rload is the load resistance for 4Ω speakers
Substituting the values:
Pout = 122 / 2 * 4 = 144 / 8 =18 W per channel
Thus, the total power output is approximately 36W for two channels.
Heat Dissipation:
The TDA1553 IC generates heat during operation.
The power dissipated as heat can be approximated by:
Pheat = Psupply − Pout
where:
- Psupply si the total power drawn from the supply calculated as Isupply * Vsupply
- Pout is total power output.
Ensure proper heat sinking for the IC to maintain safe operation.
