All,
Please help with a problem I have with my Alpine 3519 car amp. One of the channels gets really hot, even with no signal or load connected. The output devices are 2SC3181/2SA1264 the driver chip is a uPC1225H. I have swapped the driver chips with no effect. There does not seem to be any oscillation at the o/p on my 15MHz scope. The o/p devices on the healthy channel have 0.46v across the driving junction, whereas on the unhealthy side they have 0.65v. Any advice or recommended checks gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Mark

Joe: about +/-38v, I didn’t do any checks on the ps, as the problem is not on both channels, was that a bad assumption? I have no exp’ with SMPS!
Li: not sure, the blue pots near the driver IC’s seem to control (are wired to) the driver IC’s, not the op devices. The voltage readings are for the output transistors.
Thanks
Mark
