The amplifier is taken as a basis, the circuit of which was published in the Radio magazine, No. 7, 2002. The circuit and the article are below.

The rated output power of the UMZCH with a non-linear distortion factor of 0,5% in the "Stereo" mode is approximately 2x70 W (2x4 Ohms), in the "Mono" mode - about 150 W (8 Ohms). It requires almost no tuning.

Amplifier

The amplifier is made on two chips DA1, DA2. The TDA7294 integrated circuit is a high performance power amplifier and is relatively cheap. The terminal and pre-terminal stages of the TDA7294 are built on field-effect transistors, they have protection against overheating and short circuit at the output. When the crystal temperature reaches 145 ° C, the protection unit switches the microcircuit to the "MUTE" mode, and when it reaches 150 "C - to the "STAND-BY" mode. Due to the wide range of supply voltages, the TDA7294 microcircuit can be used in conjunction with a load with a resistance of more than 8 ohms without significant loss of output power.When using two microcircuits connected in a bridge circuit, the upper limit of resistance rises to 16 ohms.With the optimal choice of supply voltage, its maximum output power at a low-resistance load (4 ohms and below) is limited only by the maximum allowable current of the final stage, equal to 10 A, and reaches 100 W. With a harmonic distortion factor of 0,5%, the microcircuit delivers power up to 70 W to the load.The UMZCH circuit diagram without a power supply is shown in fig.

In the proposed scheme, the "STAND-BY" and "MUTE" functions are not used, since the amplifier is turned on in the power supply. Resistors R1, R4 set the input impedance of the UMZCH. Pairs of elements R1, C1 and R4, C4 form a high-pass filter at the inputs of both channels, limiting the bandwidth of the amplifier from below. Similarly, the elements R2, C2 and R5, C5 in the OOS chain define the lower limit of the bandwidth. The resistance ratios R3/R2, R6/R5 set the gain of the UMZCH. With the specified ratings of the elements R2, R3, R5, R6, the voltage gain is 30 dB. The SA1 switch selects the UMZCH "Stereo / Mono" operating mode. In the "Stereo" mode, the DA1 and DA2 microcircuits work as two independent non-inverting amplifiers; in the "Mono" mode, the DA2 amplifier turns from a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of Kc \u6d R5 / R1 + 1 into an inverting amplifier with unity gain. Position SA1 on the diagram corresponds to the "Stereo" mode. When using UMZCH in bridge mode, the "+" AC output is connected to the DA2 output, and the "-" output is connected to the DA1114 output. The amplifier power supply converter (see Fig.) is built mainly on the KR4EU494 chip - an imported analogue of TL7294CN. Since the TDAXNUMX microcircuits have their own protection nodes, there is no need to use them in the power supply itself.

The KR1114EU4 microcircuit can operate in both push-pull and single-cycle converters; the operating mode is set by the OTS input (pin 13). In this power supply, pin 13 is connected to a +5 V reference voltage source and the converter operates in push-pull mode. The duty cycle of the pulses can vary over a wide range. The outputs of the microcircuit can be connected directly through resistors R16, R17 to the bases of powerful bipolar transistors VT1 and VT2 of the converter due to the high limit value of the output current (up to 200 mA). Since the converter chip has collector and emitter outputs for output transistors (pins 8-11), it is possible to turn them on according to a common emitter or common collector circuit, depending on the structure of transistors VT1 and VT2.

In the described block with transistors of the n-p-n structure, the second option is used. When using field-effect transistors (n-channel FETs) as keys, resistors R 18 and R19 should be removed. The KR1114EU4 chip has its own sawtooth pulse generator. Elements R8, C8 are timing, and the generation frequency can be determined by the formula f = 1/(R8C8). When operating in push-pull mode, the frequency of the oscillator of the microcircuit must be twice as high as the frequency at the output of the converter. For the values ​​​​of the timing circuit indicated in the diagram, the generator frequency is about 160 kHz, and the output pulse frequency is about 80 kHz. The stability of the converter in a wide range of supply voltages is provided by the built-in reference voltage source (pin 14) +5 V. The R9C7 circuit provides a smooth increase in the output pulse width of the unit and power in the load after power is turned on. Diode VD1 prevents the failure of the unit when the polarity of the supply voltage is reversed; in this case, only fuse FU1 will blow.

The power supply has voltage stabilization at the load due to feedback. It is carried out through resistors R10-R15 from each arm of the rectifier. These resistors form two voltage dividers, through which part of the voltage from the output of the power supply goes to the error amplifiers (pins 1,15). As a voltage standard, with which the output voltages of the power supply are compared, a reference voltage source (ION) is used. The outputs of the error amplifiers inside DA1 are connected together via diodes. Pin 3 is for local feedback limiting the gain of the amplifiers.

In this block, pin 3 is used to drive the converter, and the amplifiers act as comparators. From the pulse transformer T1, the voltage is rectified by diodes VD2-VD5 and smoothed out by capacitors C11-C 14. To reduce the power dissipation on the UMZCH DA1 and DA2 microcircuits and increase the maximum output power of the amplifier, you need to correctly select the output voltage of the converter, based on the load resistance. This UMZCH is designed to work in conjunction with a load of 4 ohms in the "Stereo" mode and with a load of 8 ohms in the bridge mode. The value of the supply voltage DA1, DA2 recommended by the manufacturer for a given load resistance is ± 25 ... .27 V, and the pulse converter is designed for this voltage.

In the power supply circuit shown, a sufficiently powerful switch is needed to turn it on. Often this method of inclusion is inconvenient or unacceptable. On fig. Below is a schematic diagram of the inverter start automatic control device.

It ensures that the UMZCH is turned on when a constant voltage of more than 20 V is applied to the resistor R1 or when an audio signal with an effective voltage value of at least 15 V is applied to the capacitor C0,6. The first option can be used if the car radio has an output for controlling external devices, for example, an electrical retractable antenna. Another option is also suitable if a subwoofer is installed in the car. Then the capacitor C15 is connected to one of the outputs of the UMZCH car radio, and now the amplifier will automatically turn on when the output power of the car radio is more than 0,15 ... 0,2 W and turn off at less.

It is unacceptable to connect two inputs to the radio at the same time, as this can disable it. Capacitor C16 simultaneously smooths out AC voltage ripples and delays turning off the amplifier after the input signal disappears (with a delay of about 30 s). Diodes VD7, VD8 prevent the influence of the switching circuit on the operation of the SHI modulator. They also set the voltage threshold on the VT3 collector, above which the duration of the pulses at the DA3 output will begin to gradually decrease and, when it reaches 4 ... 4,5 V, the power supply will turn off. If this amplifier is used only for a subwoofer, you will need a node, the diagram of which is shown below.

This is a second-order low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 80 Hz; it is turned on before entering the UMZCH. In the diagram, in parentheses, the conclusions of the op-amp of the second channel are indicated. Integrated voltage regulators DA2, DA3 are installed in the power circuit. If the amplifier is planned to be used only in bridged mode, a single op amp can be used instead of dual op amps.

Details and construction

As VD1, you can use diodes of the KD2997, KD2999 series with any letter index. Diodes KD2997B (VD2-VD5) can be replaced with KD2997A, KD2999A, KD2999B. Instead of transistors KT898A (VT1, VT2), it is permissible to use others: KT890 with any letter index, KT896A, KT896B, KT898B, KP958A-KP958V, KP954A-KP954V. You can use imported field-effect transistors IRFZ48, IRFZ44, IRF540, IRF640, IRF530, BUZ11A, BUZ22 or their analogues by removing resistors R18, R19. Powerful PSU transistors VT1, VT2 and amplifier microcircuits DA1, DA2 are installed on separate heat sinks.

It is permissible to install microcircuits on one heat sink without insulation, but at the same time isolate it from the amplifier case, since the metal substrate of the microcircuits has a voltage of -Upit relative to the common wire. It is unacceptable to install transistors on one heat sink without insulation. Mica can be used as an insulating material. When mounting power elements on heat sinks, it is desirable to use heat-conducting paste KPT-8, which will greatly facilitate the thermal operation of these elements. Diodes VD1-VD5 are installed perpendicular to the board. The magnetic circuit of the pulse transformer T1 is made up of three rings of size K40x25x11 glued together from M2000NM1 ferrite. Windings I, II are wound on 4 turns with a bundle of five wires PEV-2 1,2 mm. Windings III, IV are wound in 10 turns with a bundle of four wires PEV-2 0,8 mm.

Windings I, II and III, IV must be symmetrical. Before winding, the sharp edges of the glued ring must be rounded off with a needle file. Three or four layers of fluoroplastic tape insulation are laid between the windings. The transformer is installed in the center of the printed circuit board using a rectangular or round plate pressing on top with a hole in the center and an M5 or M6 screw with a nut. In the converter startup control circuit, any low-power silicon diodes are suitable as VD1-VD3, KT3102A (VT1) is replaced by a transistor with any letter index from this series or KT315. In the low-pass filter it is permissible to install the OU KR574UD2, KR140UD20, KR544UD4. Instead of stabilizers DA2, DA3, you can use any integrated 15 V positive and negative voltage stabilizers.

We must try to connect the power wires of the amplifier as close as possible to the car battery (on the fuse box) in order to exclude the influence of other current consumers. Since the peak current drawn by the amplifier can be up to 15 A, large gauge wires (3...5 mm2) should be used in the power circuit. If there is a device that is critical to high-frequency voltage ripples in the on-board network, it is necessary to increase the capacitance C9, and if this does not bring the desired effect, then turn on a high-frequency filter in the power supply circuit of the converter.

Establishment

With serviceable elements, the amplifier starts working immediately. Only the power supply needs to be configured. Therefore, it is advisable to carry out installation and configuration in two stages as follows. Only power supply elements are installed on the printed circuit board (amplifier parts are not soldered). Next, the R14 resistor is soldered and a load equivalent is connected between the common wire and the positive output of the power supply - a wire resistor with a resistance of 6 ... 7 Ohms with a power of at least 100 W.

After turning on the power, the voltage across this resistor is measured, it should be in the range of 26 ... 28 V. Next, the load resistance is increased to 50 Ohms. By rotating the engine of the tuning resistor R 13, the same output voltage of the power supply is achieved as with a 100-watt load. Then R14 is soldered, and R12 is soldered. Setting the second stabilization circuit is similar. At the end of the adjustment, solder the resistor R12. Then the UMZCH parts are mounted and the operability of the assembled device is checked for load equivalents from the audio frequency generator. The device for automatically turning on the amplifier does not need to be configured, but if the converter starts even in the absence of input signals, then the resistance R21 is reduced to a value at which the voltage on the VT1 collector is in the range of 6 ... 6,5 V.

Comments

The amplifier that works in my car is assembled according to the bridge circuit and only drives the subwoofer (the left and right channels sound TDA1518BQ according to the scheme borrowed from the amplifier of the first edition). Powerful npn transistors VT1 and VT2 refused to work, apparently due to the spread of parameters. They were replaced by field IRFZ44, taking into account the changes in the circuit indicated in the article, and 2 such transistors connected in parallel are installed on each arm.

Dandelion rubber 21.12.2018

In the land of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Germany), a research laboratory Taraxagum Lab Anklam was opened where rubber is produced from dandelions. The initiator of the construction of the complex, which started working on December 6, was the German tire manufacturer Continental.

Continental plans to start mass production of dandelion rubber. Within the next 10 years, the rubber obtained from the rhizomes of this perennial plant of the Asteraceae family may become an alternative to the raw material that is currently obtained from the milky juice of hevea for the production of tires.

The laboratory aims to develop new types of dandelions with large roots. In the laboratory, the roots are ground and the rubber is washed out without the use of toxic solvents. Recycled materials can be used to produce biogas or processed into bioethanol.

At the moment, agricultural harvesters designed for harvesting carrots are used to collect the roots. In the future, a special technique will be developed. Experts note that in the future, dandelion cultivation may create new income opportunities for local farmers.

The project was supported by the Ministry of Economy of Meckleburg-Vorpommern, which allocated 11600000 euros to the company. In total, 35000000 euros were spent on the opening of the laboratory.

The idea for the lab came to Continental back in 2016, looking for ways to replace rubber from tropical plants with raw materials from dandelions, which can be cultivated in less hot regions. In 2017, a dandelion plantation of about 30 hectares was created.
