900W H-class PA Amp with Limiter

as i said before there is too much of interest in this kind of too much power class h
hoping to see the schema's and checking all available parts in our place
even so the replacements
"Higly recomended German amplifier schematic" there is to much of interest, not for H-class amplifier, but there is masterpiece of advertising, ok that is kind of human nature.
 
I'd love to see more threads like this. Nice way to use IR2117.

Mixing class H with "Vish" error correction (rush cascode) output stage could be interesting. Advantages include automatic biasing, no crossover distortion and probably less THD due to class H switching.

These are two unconventional output stages of special interest:

(I'd like to see more threads like these too).

A few years ago I had a class H N-channel output stage with automatic biasing and error correction in mind, but I jumped directly into class D.

hi apexaudio
greetings trying to make your amp have almost made pcb pattern lots of
hard work you mentioned protection circuit has it a different pcb or can any other
dc protection circuit be used as i have some protection circuits ready
1 for commutatordiode can 2 byg 80 diodes be used in parallel
2 advise me output tranistors mjl 21194 mjl 21194 or 2sa5200 1943 wich combination shoud i use
3 power supply schematic would make things easier as i am making h class first time
4 should i use high speed bridges or normal bridges
5 any tips while making would be useful
thanks for your circuit and support
thanking you

Hello apexaudio

To know more about the IR2117, I've download the spec-sheet, in this document the pin 3 are the ground, in your Apex H900 the pin 3 are named VSS, is it the same ground pin with VSS name ?

I presume that the 4R7 resistor and 47NF cap across the SFA1603 are to reduce the switching noise of that SFA1603 ?

Thank

Bye

Gaetan

This is a floating high-side gate driver. It uses two supply voltages: Vcc to COM, and VB to VS. VB to VS voltage is usually generated through a bootstrap capacitor and diode. This capacitor is charged when the MOSFET is turned off and it keeps the floating part of the IC powered when it is turned on. Capacitor value determines the maximum time it can be kept turned on.

Certain rules have to be followed: The most important one: VS must not go below COM, altough negative transients are allowed with some restrictions. VS can temporarily go 5V below COM without problems. Additionally, VS can go up to (VB-VS) volts below COM but any change in input signal will be ignored during this time.
