Summary of MINI STEREO AUDIO AMPLIFIER
This article describes a Mini Stereo Audio Amplifier project using the TDA2822 IC, designed for portable players and radios. It supports a supply range of 3V to 12V (tested at 9V), delivering up to 1W per channel into an 8 Ohm load with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz.
Parts used in the Mini Stereo Audio Amplifier:
- TDA2822 IC
- PCB
- 8 Ohm Speaker
- Headphones (for 3V operation)
- Loudspeakers (for 12V operation)
This project is a Mini Stereo Audio Amplifier based on TDA2822 IC.
DESCRIPTION
The dual low power amplifier built around TDA2822 8pin DIP. IC, it is mainly designed to use in portable players, radios and other building block project. A 3V supply can be used to drive headphones providing 20mW in 32 Ohms per channel, and a 12V power supply will provide 1W in 8 Ohm per channel for small loudspeakers.
