The Mu Monster

Elsewhere on the forum our friend Rob (n3szd) wants to build a 1000 watt
single-ended amplifier.

On the one hand, I sympathize with excess enthusiasm in a project.

On the other hand, I take no responsibility for the results of posting the
following schematic.

Anyone who attempts to build such a thing is probably asking for trouble.

You have been warned...

😎
Dear Mr.Pass,if I only use one pair STE48NM50 for the output stage,does it support 100W output. 130V is really high,can we lower it,like +-60V,does it still work?

Best Regards
Leo
 
> does it support 100W output.

For 100Wrms into 8R, you will need 5A 40V.
That means 45V rails, 2.5A bias, pure Class A.
Since Nelson was using them at 130V 1A, you will be within that window.
This is also confirmed by datasheet.

At 45V rails, you either have to use a PMOS for the frontend.
Or if you want to use your 2SJ109, you need to cascode them with P-MOS.
And you will have to change the CCS and the drain resistors to suit the lower bias.
(Say 20mA total instead of 50mA as in post #1)

But as Nelson said in post #1 :
"Anyone who attempts to build such a thing is probably asking for trouble.

ST does not offer any Spice model for the STE48NM50.
So I have to pick the closest there is.

This is just simulation.
It shows you how it could be done.
But it has not been built, so build at your own risk.
I won't have time to nurse you through this.


Cheers,

PS you need to unzip and then put them all in the same directory before you can run.

thank you very much.I just download the LTSpice to study use it.it worked well this time.but lots of parameter do not know and do not how to set it.Need a litter bit more time.
I have IXFN140N20P in my hand,using to build pass 50W SE amp.can I use this guy for the output?
