90+90 volt rails

[homemodder]

Sometimes higher voltage rails are given to avoid hard clipping problems which I think is the case here, although the voltage needed be so high. Anyway if you looking for high voltage Jfets try these, they on par with the well known toshiba parts and in some respects even better. 2sk223.

~50A peak from a pair of Hitachi bipolar power transistors that can't according to their datasheet.

Wowza, must have been some power amp.

Would be wise to double the outputs.

If it were one of those amps that can really put out 400Wx2/8R, and only claims 200 - so that they can claim 3dB headroom and doubling down to 4 ohms (and again at 2) it would have more than any two or four pairs of outputs per channel. More like 6, 8 or even 12 pairs.

Woudn't be the first time.

Or they needed the smell of burnt carbon resistors to cover up what they were smoking in the engineering lab.

From NAD 2400

The NAD 2200 would bench at 360W/8R for about a half second (far longer than a musical transient).

If you drove it with a sinewave more than a second, it would shut down the ±93V rails, and just run on the ±60V rails (which is what the 100W long term rating was about).

[sakis]

for your answers and information .....

i would have second thoughts on builting this thing even with a couple more sets of transistors since and since bias will have to be redesigned and of course VI limiters also ....

then just go for DIRTY HARRY BY FOTIOS and all will be just fine

thanks !!!!

This would describe a Class G amp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro...#Class_G_and_H

FWIW- The new generation of car decks use class H with an internal charge boost (external cap only) for up to 70V for short term.

The TDA1562 is a monolithic integrated 70 W/4 W
Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) class-H high efficiency power
amplifier in a 17 lead DIL-bent-SIL plastic power package

[djk]

Different manufacturers reverse their descriptions of class G and class H.

I use the reference cited in the Wikipedia:

And Douglas Self:



To retain our sanity, I suggest following the above convention.

Early examples of class G:

all..... but all of them ....

ok !!!! since i had a quiet time this afton i though about making a pcb with the above circuit but with plastic transistors and totally 8 transistors in the out for every board .....

anybody willing to try it is very welcome and i also have gerber export for it ....

please notice that this isa demo and it is possible that i ve made mistakes that i couldnt find with double checking !!!!!

there you go
