output resistor matching for LM4780 paralleled

Audiophilenoob · 23rd July 2005, 08:56 PM

I really did search on this.... and couldn't find my answer

for paralleling a pair of LM4780 where should the output resistor be placed for matching?

also is there any set resistance for these chips for paralleling them? I know they need to be 0.1% tolerance but is there any specific ohm? What about watt capabilities (1/16 watt, 1/8watt, etc)

I'm refering to the supposed extra resistors needed in the outputs for paralleling...
not the resistors that are already in the schematic
thanks

0.1-0.3 ohm should work fine, 3-5 watts. they don't need to be 0.1% tolerance though...

1% tolerance is ok?

also these are placed in line with the output to the speaker terminals? or elsewhere?

They are placed after the output pins of each chip.then the other end of the resistors are connected together in parallel for your parallel amp.

many thanks

It is more important that you match the gain of each amolifier and take care of DC-offset (if you have such). A "bigger" output-resitor will to soem extent take care of the last issue

Have fun

can these resistors be non-inductive/wirewound???

Yep. Those are pretty much your best bet. Mouser has a nice selection of the Dale non-inductive wirewounds.. Check the LVR3 series.

Look at www.czechaudio.com - at my PA 03, some photos are there
