here...check output stage transistors configuration... Also feedback return point should be taken at output of amp and not source resistor...Thanks for the reply.
R19/R20/D1/D2/Caps are bootstrap. check post 408. Although I am concerned my 1N4002 diodes are not beefy enough.
The two Zobels; I wondered why there were two also. I copied this straight from Borys schematic.
Not sure what you mean by feed supply ripple to the output terminal. can you elaborate?
cheers

You appear to have missed out on 4 diodes. They are in the +ve and -ve rails of the input transistors and the following small signal section. Both are fed separately.
I also see 15 V zeners protecting the gates. Your diagram shows power diodes. See page 41.

Hi folks, I have been following this thread for a while and have decided to build my own. I have created the attached schematic based on Borys earlier schematic except with partys that I have. Can you have a quick glance over it for any mistakes before I create the board etc?
Thanks
Much appreciated.

If you do not need do not put bootstrap components (there is missing 50% of the boostrap circuit anyway, two types of boostrap were tested). Diodes between output and mosfets gates should be 15V zeners. Diodes separating supply schould be installed but they are not necessary. Regards
Hi guys!
For output mosfets transistors I would put a couple IRFP9240/IRFP240!!😉
cheers!

Thanks Ashok and Borys.😀
I have updated schematic and created PCB below.
Gost22 unfortunately I have only IRF540/9540.🙂

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Another small thing. I just spotted on your schematic, with IRFP version I have used IRF transistor for bias compensation - tahan bias is rock solid. With bd139 (I had board like this too) the bias was overcompensated approx 40%. Better idea is to use same type of the bias servo transistor as the output one.

If you go to the front of these tread you will find the schematic for the IRFP mosfet type you have.
Thanks to Borys.
Also there are some already tested and built sample sou you do not need to start from step one.🙂
Greetings G
Domyboy, then OK!?🙄
IRF540 ---> Id=17A; Ptot=45W
IRFP240 ---> Idmin=20A; Ptot=150W!!😉
cheers!

I recommend irfp240/9140 as a pair, just take a look at rdsON and rest of the parameters (input capactance etc), they look imho most similar.
Hi guys!🙂
For the record: IRPF240/IRFP9240!!😉
and not like this: irfp240/irfp9140??😀😕
cheers!
IMHO, the Rdson does not need to be matched.
Unless you actually want to use the mosfet as a switch - and that will certainly not be the case in an amplifier.
In an amplifier the mosfet must never be full on and never full off.
So you can forget the switching times and the resistances from its parameters when comparing, imo...

Pleas take a look at input capactance too, there is no need to use different resistor for N and P channel in this case. I have tested this pair at very high speeds and everything looks very symetrical !! (pair 240/9240 in amplifier at very high speeds and capactive load doesnt do the job as good as 240/9140 pair, i did not read this on internet but tested it on the bench with scope).

240/9140 is a better match for audio, provided the voltage rating of the latter is kept in mind.
If you have a chance please check high speeds transients of the above transistor pairs. THD on pair irfp240/9140 is very good and amp behaves really good on square tests. I will test later on irfp240/9240 pair as suggested. (I remember I had some unsymetric scope measurements with those).
