Question Bootstrapping a LM38XX and OPA54X

After reading the PDF (down here) I questioned myself if this is possible with the LM38XX and OPA54X.

More voltage with the same current give more power, right?
As these chips only support ~30V (+/-) the power is limited.

Anybody tried this?

It should be possible, but before going to that I would go for a bridged/Parallel design that can give you more than 200 W/8 ohm.

You bootstrap-curcuit very easely becomers "bigger" than the chip-amp itself,so............................

Have fun

I know that a thing like this would be enormous!!!

But,...

With a bootsprap like this and with a bridged/parallel implement it's possible to achieve more than 500W, right?


I know you like bridging and paralleling 3886's
