Step 1: Idea:

Home theaters and speaker systems are very popular due to Bass songs, releasing everyday and I am very fond of music
and songs. I want to buy one for me but I don’t need commercial one. Because I have a much deeper knowledge in
analog/digital ampli er designing. So, I want to design a low power consuming and high e ciency circuit my own.
I used to design transistors ampli er but for a home system it is too big. Transistor ampli er are mostly used for high
output and they are little bit noisy too. I need a super quite and HI-FI stereo circuit. Then I found the datasheet of
TDA7265 audio ampli er IC.

Step 2: TDA7265:

The TDA series of IC’s are very popular for their high- delity sound and super quite operations. There will be no humming
or external noise if this IC is paired with proper external components. I am using TDA7265 which is a stereo IC, give the
extreme output of 25watts per channel. TDA series need a very fewer external components too. But these class AB
ampli ers are also need a cooling system. In most of the cases heatsink can do the job without any active cooling(fan).

Step 3: Features:

I want to mention one thing here, TDA7265 need dual channel power supply. And this is possible only with transformer.
As mentioned in the datasheet the maximum power voltage is 18-0-18. Therefore full power output and better e ciency
same ratings transformer is required.
Mute options
Thermal Overload protection
Stand-By feature
Short circuit protection

Step 4: Circuit Diagram:

I found this circuit in datasheet and this is real application circuit. Then I made my own with to understand it better. This
IC is of 50watts, either we use 25watts for two channel for stereo operation or 50watts in bridge mode. The circuits for
bridge mode is available here.

Step 5: Moving to Professional Looks:

My circuit is complete but I want to give professional look to my project. So I designed the PCB to make the form factor
as small as possible. A big shoutout to PCBWAY to sponsor this project. I upload my designs on PCBWAY.com o ering
best service in low prices. Ordering process is quite simple.

Step 7: PCB Layouts:

These are PCB layouts I received after 1 week, the quality and surface nish is too good. I choose white color for my PCB,
but there are a lot of options you can try from here. Download the PCB Gerber les from here.

Step 8: Assembly:

Our design only contains through hole components, DIP IC, resistors and capacitors. So rst of all start with the IC and
resistors, It is easy to place components after placing small sized resistors. Then move on Big capacitors and other
circuitry.
After placement of all the component, bend the legs of all so that when soldering they don’t fall. But rst we will cut all
the bended legs so that there will be no any dry soldering.
Clean the PCB with propanol or petrol after soldering to remove residual ux.

Step 9: Mounting Heatsink:

Usually the heat sink, is depend on the area and thickness of aluminum. I am using a big 100mm heatsink with this single
IC of thickness 2mm. The most important thing is that there should be no any space lest between the heatsink and IC. To
transfer heat immediately from ic to heatsink, we need heatsink compound. Improper placement of heatsink will
immediately burn the IC and components.
If you have a short heatsink then an external fan is needed to keep the system cool.

Step 10: Making Connections:

To give the input signal either we can AUX jack and give audio directly from mobile or PC. Then the second idea is to use
a Bluetooth chip, which can be connected to mobile and laptop wirelessly. Wireless connection is made the risk smaller,
powering the circuit rst time using mobile is risky and cause damage.
For speakers I am using two speakers in a tube, having the maximum ratings of 70watts. I am using about 25watts per
channel. So these speakers are totally ne to use.
As a power supply, I am using dual channel power unit from 12-0-12 transformer for testing. With proper lter capacitors
and bridge recti er circuit. The circuit constantly needs 2 ampere at that voltage for full power output.

Step 11: As a Power Supply, I Am Using Dual Channel Power Unit From 12-0-12
Transformer for Testing. With Proper Filter Capacitors and Bridge Rectifier Circuit. the
Circuit Constantly Needs 2 Ampere at That Voltage for Full Power Output.

As mentioned earlier these ICs is popular for quite operation and HI-FI output. You can see the output in the video
