Tekko Audio Labs releases its first complete amp module

Tekko · 28th May 2011, 06:15 PM

This is the first full amplifier channel module with onboard power transistors released by Tekko Audio Labs.

The design is based on the Famous Douglas Self excellent blameless amplifier topology.

Previous versions were only frontend and driver but now here it is, a full amplifier on one single board, featuring SMD resistors and capacitors for the small signal circuitry.

The prototype runs TIP35 and TIP36 but you can use virtually any power transistor, and with a maximum rail voltage of 50V per rail, this amplifier can produce up to 200 watts in 4 ohms and up to 100 watts in 8 ohms with Four output transistors with a VCEo of atleast 120V.

Good work, Tekko

No more fly wires between a driver board and the output transistors, just need to add the oscillationpreventer caps on the drivers that i forgot.

The circuit will be coming up shortly.

Looks similar to the old 1980's Maplin 225WRMS amplifier.
That had 2n3055/mj2955 output transistors.
It used bd711/712 drivers.

Here comes the circuit:

A hint with EAGLE - rather than use the Jumper component to make jumpers, just use traces on the Top layer

This means you do not have to alter your schematic when you find out you need a jumper someplace.

The cad software I use is similar.
Layer 0 is the silk screen layer.
This is fine as long as the track width is greater than 1 otherwise the autorouter thinks it isnt routed. It also fools the continuity checker.

Yup, especially if you spend as long as I do tweaking a layout.

You mean because this makes the schematic look better/cleaner ?
