Hi,
I never used totem pole drivers after a specially designed IC. Never need to use one except the previous discrete UCD amps. However, They should be high HFE and low Vce sat. ones. They should be for switching purpose. The Vce of the complementary pairs are not so important if they can work within the Vboost or Vdrive voltage range. Hence, the pairs i suggested can do the job. In my previous designs i used philips 5240T as fast turn off. And used Maxim 7.2A SOT23 mosfet driver to drive heavy mosfets like IRFP250.
In my view BD911/912 can be used as an output of a 50-70W class AB amp and using them as totem pole drivers not a logical approach to Class-D design. There are several BJTs around from Sanken, ZETEX or Philips for this purpose. Try to find out best for your purpose. Try to get a set of transistors as samples.
Good luck,
BW
have u built it? there's even some difference between the schematic and the pcb. but the most problematic is the cd4049 pinout which is totally different from the datasheet and schematic compared to the pcb. the pcb shouldn't work, but i wonder if anyone did manage to.
i managed to make this thing work but dint get any much success......on low volume it works as clean as a headphone does but when increase volume there is a distortion in the speakers...like someone is tearing papers......help me out with this issue??????

hi guys please help this amp works fine with +/-45vlts 8amps with irf540/540n/640n two pairs . they dont even warm when playing loud without a heat sink. but when using irfp250 /irfb4227 two pairs at +/-60vlts 1amp they get hot in the few seconds of playing. pls help me out guys😕😕
artwork and pcb diysmps
thanks in advance

It depends on what speed and current (Cg) you will work. BC639/640 seems better.
I think your output filter not good or not matched (saturated) with current freq.. pls provide your schematic

haven't built the pcb yet. i was contemplating to either redraw the schematic and include the 12v aux supply and a dc protection or just etch the pcb provided by thienchay at post #2101 & #2102.
seeing how simple it is i redraw the schematics when i see the pinout of the cd4049 is different compared to the pinout used in cheshta's and thienchay's pcb. so i was wondering if anyone have etched and built the irs900 using cheshta or thienchay's pcb.
here's the original schematic of the irs-900d posted by cheshta:
together with the cd4049 pinout from his post:
a remake of the pcb from thienchay:
and he's the pinout from cd4049 datasheet:
pin 7 and 8 shouldn't be shorted together and some other error. or am i reading it wrong somewhere?
would really love to hear any feedback from people who have built the irs900.
i don't have schematic i only made the amp without it and its working great
i only use detex file to make the pcb
i only use detex file to make the pcb

I apologize because i'm did not checking carefully schematic of Detex .
I think they deliberately show the wrong schematic , but given right PCB .
And i recheck it , they just used 2 NOT gate of CD4049 on their PCB , and it is right , orther NOT Gate is not used 🙂 .
This is the schematic i redraw .

that's all that i needed to hear. the schematic is indeed with error. now that i have you guys that have built a working pcb i know not to follow the schematic and build the amp according to the posted pcb.
thanks again guys
can irfp260N work at +/- 85vlts with this pcb? and has any one tried this amp with +/-90vlts & what output fets did you use?
