Bridged LM4766 resistor wattages

[ballsingtripp]

Hello

Are there any resistors in this circuit that need to be more than 1/2 W?

[CJ900RR]

Yes the Rsn-resistors (zobel network) should at least be 2W. But my opinion is that you dont need zobel in most cases, so you can leave them and the cap's behind out of the circut if you dont have them...

Sorry, I actually posted the wrong circuit.

I meant to post a Bridged LM4780:

I like LM4780s sound without the snubbers (Rsn+Csn) too. But you must try both with snubber and not.. If you decide to use them then they should be 2W or more..
Once, I fried a couple of 1W resistors in that position..

Max supply voltage is ±32 V, which leads to a maximum output voltage of ~19V AC.
According to the datasheet 1/4 W is enough. Rule of thumb is to use resistors with 100 % safety margin, so we can only load it with 1/8 W. 4,7 Ohm needs 0,5875 V for that. The impedance of the 100 nF capacitor would have to be lower than 147,3 Ohm to achieve that voltage drop across Rsn. That is the case above ~10800 Hz. Is the supply voltage ±32 V? And if so, what could lead to continuous nominal output at 10800 Hz or above?

With 2,7 Ohm it takes 1,64 V to reach 1 W. With max supply voltage of ±38 V you get ~24 V AC out. The impedance of the 100 nF capacitor needs to fall below 36,8 Ohm for 1,64 V across the resistor. That is the case above ~43200 Hz. Sound like serious oscillation.

Rsn should be 1/4 W as per datasheet. If it burns, find out why and fix the fault.

Sorry to keep jumping around here..I was reading false information about the supply voltage requirements.

Totally sure about this one, and the supply will be 12V. I know it's kind of ridiculous, but it's just an experiment with a car battery.

The TDA7294 works from supply voltages betwen ±10 V and ±40 V. It will not work from 12 V.

Am I missing something?

[pacificblue]

±10 V = 20 V.

[ballsingtripp]

Oh..seems strange. Does that have something to do with the battery or is that just how they're usually referred to?

Could you recommend any amps that would work?
