building an amp with the Tda1562q

[pjpoes]

I have a few questions on this. First off, does anyone know if plans for such an amp already exist, maybe an optomized PCB layout or something. Better yet, does anyone know of any pcb's already made for this chip, that I could order.

If not, I know that phillips includes a basic schematic for the chip, so I could always attempt my own pcb layout. However, in doing such, any suggestions on how to go about that, things to consider. Im thinking that, though it consumes very little current, large power traces, or maybe even buss bars would be a good idea. Also, anyone know if going above and beyond the phillips design would be beneficial. They seem to suggest that the larger the supply cap the more peak power it will produce, given it can dissipate the heat. In such a case, would using very large supply caps and a largish heatsing be beneficial. Any help would be good, thanks.
