4. Audio Pre-amplifier circuits

  • LM387 dual pre-amp IC
  • LM833 dual audio op-amp

5. Audio power-amplifier circuits

ideal power amp can deliver power to external load (speaker) without significant distortion and without overheating or consuming excessive quiescent current.

Class A

  • single BJT
  • input heavily forward biased
  • simple
  • good low-distortion
  • high quiescent current

Class B

  • pair unbiased transistors
  • near zero quiescent current
  • very high levels of signal distortion

Class AB

  • eliminate class B cross over distortion with slight forward bias
  • modest quiescent current

Practical Op-Amp Circuits

  • LM386
  • LM381
  • TDA7052
  • LM388
  • TDA2822
  • LM1877
  • LM380/384

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
