By default, the SD terminal should be pulled to ground and allow the IC to produce output.
Do you see a square wave on the Hin and Lin terminals of the driver ICs?
If you resolder the driver IC SD pins, solder with the terminal lifted (for now) so you don't have to bend the terminal a second time, in case it's necessary to have it lifted again.

I have removed the wrong pin #12 and it broke while bending to solder back therefore, I removed the IC and ordered new ones.By default, the SD terminal should be pulled to ground and allow the IC to produce output.

After replacing I will give update
Good morning,, I trust that all is well with you.Thanks for your reply.
The rail voltage is 77 volts on one side and Yes, I'm getting approximately 39 volts half the on the positive speaker terminal which gives out a humming sound with the speaker pulled in. The low side has a rail of approximately 8 volts and just over 3 volts on the negative speaker terminal.
For the above question, I meant the amplifier's B+ terminal. I supplied 12v and when I test the voltage across the B+ and B- I'm getting below 8 volts
I'm awaiting the driver chips but I'm curious about the half rail voltage on the speak terminals. Can you tell whether both neg and pos Terminals should have the same or almost same half voltage? I'm really not sure
The DC voltage on the two speaker terminals should be very nearly identical so that you have very near 0v DC across the speaker terminals. The voltage will be 1/2 rail voltage (referenced to ground) if the low-side FET source terminals are directly connected to ground.
Good day. I have received the driver ICs and replace same. I powered up the amp with two power MOSFET and it powered up fine, however one FET was heating up and I found one of the gate resistors shorted. It was replaced using ceramic resistor. Now I'm seeing 205v on the high side rail and a almost 0v on the negative. Can you please tell me the correct rail voltage for these amps?
Thanks.
Thanks.
That shouldn't cause a problem. Did one of the FETs fail?
Are you sure that you used the correct value gate resistor?

I replaced the resistor and the amp powers up find, I just want to know what's the rail voltage that should be present. I'm seeing 205v on the high side and 0 volts on the low side therefore, before I replace the output FETs I just want to ensure the rail voltage is correct
YesCheck the batteries in your meter.
I have 110v in my notes. Aren't the rail caps 160v?
Good morning. Everything looks good now with square waves on the power MOSFETs and Output pads, Only 1.5A current draw at idle so I will just reinstall the outputs and hope all goes well
