position, amplifier B is set to inverting, the positive input is grounded, and the output of amplifier A overrides the ground on output B. In stereo mode, both amplifiers operate in non-inverting mode.<br \/>\nSwitch SW1C lowers the gain so that amplifiers A and B have equal gain.<br \/>\nThe amplifier&#8217;s input jacks are connected so that when there is no plug in jack A, the signal is sent to both amplifier A and amplifier B (dual mono signal).<br \/>\nIn low-gain mode, 1.6V peak-to-peak input voltage gives maximum output (70Vpp), while in high-gain mode 0.4V is required.             <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d35f10 elementor-widget

large electrolytic <a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/51-kondensatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">capacitors<\/a> and two film capacitors (with solid dielectric) and a bridge rectifier.<br \/>\nThe rectifier is <strong>an MB252<\/strong> (200V\/25A).<br \/>\nIt is mounted on the same heat sink as the power amplifiers.<br \/>\nBoth the rectifier and the LM3886 are galvanically isolated, so no additional insulation is required.<br \/>\nThe transformer is a <strong>120VA toroidal transformer<\/strong> with 2x24V symmetrical windings with a rated current capacity of 2.4A per single 24V winding.<br \/>\nSection 4.6 of the AN-1192 documentation gives the output power for various loads, supply voltages and configurations (single, parallel and bridge).<br \/>\nThe reason I decided to implement the bridge design was mainly because I had a transformer that could not be used in parallel due to the low voltage.<br \/>\n(A 100 W parallel circuit requires 2&#215;37 V, but the bridge design works with 2&#215;25 V.)<br \/>\nTo optimally select a transformer, it is recommended to use <strong>the PSU Designer II support application from Duncan

order to ensure the best possible heat dissipation to the environment and to protect the amplifier from overheating, it is necessary to<strong> add active<\/strong> cooling in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/102-radiatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">a heat sink<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/102-radiatory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">a<\/a> fan forcing the circulation of cooling air.<br \/>\nIn addition, it is a good idea to equip the cooling system with fan speed control according to the temperature of the heat sink.  <\/p>\n<p>Due to the <strong>large voltage difference between the input and output<\/strong>, it is not recommended to power the fan from a 12V voltage stabilizer taking power directly from the diode bridge after the transformer, as this can cause high power loss and excessive heating.<br \/>\nInstead, we can use <a href=\"https:\/\/botland.com.pl\/278-przetwornice-step-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">a step-down converter<\/a> based on a 741 IC (single operational amplifier thermally compensated) as a controller and a PNP BDT30C transistor acting as a switch that charges a 220uF capacitor to 18V, which is a reasonable option for using a 7812 regulator to power the fan.<br \/>\nThe circuit uses<strong> a 555 timer and<\/strong> a 10k<strong> NTC thermistor<\/strong> to control the fill factor of the 555 timer.<br \/>\nIt is mounted on the heat sink of the power IC.<br \/>\nA 20k potentiometer is used to adjust the low speed.<br \/>\nThe output signal of the 555 is inverted by the NPN transistor BC237 and becomes the control signal (PWM) to the fan.<br \/>\nThe fill factor changes from 4.5% to 9% from cold to warm.<br \/>\nThe BDT30 transistor and 7812 regulator are mounted on a separate heat sink.
