Summary of 5 W + 5 W DUAL BTL CLASS-D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
This project is a compact dual BTL class-D audio amplifier based on the TDA7491LP13TR, delivering 5W+5W into 8 ohms from a single 9–12V DC supply. The low-profile PCB supports single-ended or differential inputs, selectable gains via jumpers, standby and mute, thermal overload protection, and no power-on/off pop. PCB size is 63.25 x 32.39 mm.
Parts used in the 5 W + 5 W DUAL BTL CLASS-D AUDIO AMPLIFIER:
- TDA7491LP13TR (ST class-D audio amplifier IC)
- Low profile PCB (63.25 x 32.39 mm)
- Power supply connector (for 9–12V DC)
- Speaker output terminals (for two 8 ohm speakers)
- Input connectors for single-ended and differential audio signals
- Jumpers for gain selection (20dB, 26dB, 30dB, 32dB)
- Jumpers for standby and mute functions
- Passive components and layout components required by TDA7491LP13TR (resistors, capacitors, traces for filtering and stability)
- Thermal management components/PCB copper for overload protection
The project described here is a high-efficiency dual BTL class-D audio amplifier with single supply operations. The project was built using TDA7491LP13TR from ST. The low profile PCB design can fit in a small area, operating power supply 9-12V DC, Project supports single-ended or differential audio signal inputs. Jumpers are provided to set the various gains, standby, and mute functions.
