Class D Amp Photo Gallery

Plateamp finally installed in my XLS 12" sub

Finally got around to installing my Class D amp plate amp in my trusty XLS 12 inch vented sub.
Amp running +-60Vdc so power around 300 W into 6 ohm (which is more or less what the driver represents though it is called 8 ohm ... Rdc = 4.7 ohm).

It is based on my own implementation of IRS2092 with both pre and post filter feedback, and a buffer input stage. Fets are IRFB5620.
Protection; Over voltage, under voltage, current, DC.

Box tuned to ca 23 Hz, and works really well, no preamp implemented, as I'll be making the ajustments from the surround amp.
The amp is actually placed in the vent, as it is a flat serpentine implementation

At +-60Vdc and 275 kHz, the output coil based on T106-2 gets to around 45-50 deg.
The whte fluff is for the cables not to rattle.

Hi

Here is my latest amp. IcePower using 300AS1 and 300A1
Enclosure is from Ghent Audio and custom label from an eBay vendor.

Also a pic of the actual modules.

Special thanks to Joe Bocani for making these amps available to DIYer.

Hi Eric, can you share by any chance how the DIY community can find those ICEPower modules available for purchase?
 
I have been encouraged by friendly comment concerning TPA3255. I done some work without testing this board before. Now it was tested. I present results of test. They are a very trash. I am sad.

Yea something is up with this. You dont get crossover distortion with a class D amp, as its class D, there is no inbetween, either the top mosfet is on, or the bottom one is, and any artefacts in the waveform are the result of the varying time periods of the PWM waveform.

I would do a trace on the signal leading up to the TPA and see what you get.
 
Just wanted to post a picture of two D-amps with inexpensive SMPS in test configuration.
Both work fine and reliable in this combination. I tested them under load, driving 4 woofers for more than 36 hours at 10V p-p. Nothing gets hot, all temperatures under 45°C measured with an IR termometer.
These amps and SMPS are the cheapest you can find at AliExpress and pay with PayPal.

This is NO final installation! They seem to interferr with FM radio somehow, so please use a metall inclosure.

TDA3116 2x50w
TDA7498e 2x100w
Smps 24v 120w
Smps 32v 180w

Here's my build of an SMPS400 and 2x UCD180 with HxR buffers. Enclosure front and rear panels were CNC'd by me. The Aluminium profile is standard 2060 which is available from aliexpress, eBay etc.

You can see some more details here: Enclosure for Hypex amps: 2060 alu profile and CNC work

Finally got my class D 2.1 amp assembled. Inside two TPA3118 boards with gain mod for main channels, one TPA3116 mono amp for subwoofer and a Wondom DSP. Power supply is 24V 5A.

I got frustrated with the poor quality of pre-assembled 2.1 boards and decided to go this way. Of course the costs are bigger, but I'm very happy with the result. No hiss and only a little bit audible whine when not playing music. Might be the supply, need to do some research if I could lower the noise.

+1 :)

@ noise...try the cables separate and short as possible

That would probably be worth a shot. The wiring as it is, is probably the worst possible with power and signal wires mixed and crossed :D

Output relay with a delay would also be good, I'm having quite a thump when powering on and off. I could use the mute on TPA3118s but I think it's not accessible in the TPA3116 board. But no room for that kind of additions :(

Hi

i use a small "coax" cable for the imputs
yes at this compact size its a problem to fit everything :D
