Use TDA1554 build 22watt audio amplifier

By SZ123 • 2009-05-15 • Category: Audio DiyRSS 2.0 Trackback

The 22 watt amp is easy to build, and very inexpensive. The circuit can be used as a booster in a car audio system, an amp for satellite speakers in a surround sound or home theater system, or as an amp for computer speakers.

The circuit works best with 4 ohm speakers, but 8 ohm units will do.

The circuit dissipates roughly 28 watts of heat, so a good heatsink is necessary. The chip should run cool enough to touch with the proper heatsink installed.

The circuit operates at 12 Volts at about 5 Amps at full volume. Lower volumes use less current, and therefore produce less heat.
