Default Finding the psrr of an amplifier

Hello,

I've bought a SAP15 based amplifier. Module Amplificateur - Module amplificateur stéréo SAP15 2x100W ClassAB

But to design the power supply I want to know the PSRR of this amplifier.

The LM4702 PSRR is 110dB typ (95dB min). I don't find any PSRR value for the SAP15 transistors.

Sorry for my poor english

Alexandre, from France

Default transistors don't have PSRR.

The input stage/VAS, (an IC in your case) determines the PSRR. The output devices are enclosed within the global feedback loop , which makes them a part of the IC's circuit.

So the PSRR of this amp is 95/110dB ?

It's rather high at least.

According to the datasheet :
Vcc PSRR @ 20Hz = -120dB
Vcc PSRR @ 20KHz = -75dB

Vee PSRR @ 20Hz = -120dB
Vee PSRR @ 20KHz = -65dB

For estimation of amps circuits PSRR, I built regulated power supplies with an AC input which can modulate the DC output voltage. I set this one for a 1 V sine signal, short the amp input and measure the residual AC voltage of the amp output at various frequencies.

Now, how to find the ripple on the out of the amp with 1v ripple on the PSU ?

VCC = 30v

Run the IC with capacitance multipliers , that -75db @ 20k figure might improve to -90 + db.
