Simple Class D

I mounted this amplifier there what uses mosfet channel P and channel N.
The same thing has the best quality of sound when the volume of sound is quite low, to increase a little, already begins to distort.
I do not know what it can have of missed with him:
it looks at the scheme http: // img404.imageshack.us/img404/297/classdamplifier1.jpg
Because I see in this scheme, only it has a point of the circuit where it is possible to work the polarization of the sign of sound, 3 of the LM393 is there in the pin
 
Albert.... I am too building the same type . there is little difference. did you confirm the value of filter coil? did u check it on meter? then try small modification. open one end of zener diode of 15v(connected to gate). connect other zener of 4.7v back to back in series. and check if it works well... do this for both side
 
I did the next modifications:

Instead of using a capacitor of 220pF, I used other of 150pF
Instead of using transistors 2N5551 and 2N5401, I used transistors BC327 and BC337
The transistors do BC327 and 337 work well in this circuit?
Can I do an inductor of filter with nucleus of air?
How it will calculate nucleus of air?
Is this filter of exit very critical in the functioning of the circuit? Is the right value necessary or other values work?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I don't see much of problem.

The frequency typically don't go above 330KHz so most small power transistors should not be problem.

If you use Air core inductor the length of wire would be long compared to ferrite core. resulting in more series resistance which is not desired. And also its size would be bigger.But if you still want to, I can give you details. The core material is not your problem for distorted sound. I very much doubt Inductance value.

when the switching transistor unfairly heats, it indicates that the transistor is not getting completely on. but what you have shown in the new gate driver circuit should solve the problem(new circuit uploaded by you).

One more point to be taken care of is the 12V regulating zener. re-calculate it s series resistor. wattage of zener required.(currently this is not the problem but check how bad zener heats.)

and I had asked what is the inductance of the coil used on your. higher inductance could be a problem.

new gate driver circuit did not resolve the problem

new gate driver circuit did not resolve the problem.

The voltage of the sound in the output of amplifier, does not exceed 0,6V with good quality of sound.
When I increase the level of sign in the input, the voltage in the exit of the amplifier remains to same, distorting Excessively.


what might cause this problem?

Emule,
please read the above properly. also I have indicated that driver circuit could be responsible for heating of transistor.
