DIY 500W Class-D TL494 Switching Amplifier
In this project, I will share about class-d power amplifier using TL494 IC for PWM, and use N-Channel MOSFET transistor as the final amplifier. This circuit is not so complicated and cheap to make practice making power amplifier class-d. This power amplifier circuit can be supplied with a 30V to 100V DC asymmetric power supply using 8VDC bias voltage up to 12VDC. The output power of this amplifier can generate power up to 500Watt, pretty good is not it? to make this power amplifier please see the circuit schematic of the TL494 Power Amplifier below along with the PCB Layout design that you can download in the form of .PDF format.

I like class d amp
ReplyDeleteme too sir. cause its powerfull and hugh efficience and cold final tr
Deletehelo friend
ReplyDeletecan this be able to drive two 12" 420w RMS sony xplod bass ans two 12" 100w RMS cone speaker.
it less power to drive 12inch subwoofer in two
DeleteYes,pls increase the vdc
DeleteHello, I'm new to "Class D" amplifiers although I'd like to use them for a project I'm actually working on. In regard, to the power supplies I wonder, does it need a special kind of supply like SMPS (switching power supply) or can it be fed wit a normal supply and if so, what should be the values for transformer output voltage & currentwise? Also, would it be possible to mention amplifier power rating for 8Ω impedances?
DeleteRecomended use new design
DeleteThis look amazing, what is the THD for this amp?
ReplyDeleteI do used Nelson pass misfits circuit in my active line array and far better than his 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
ReplyDelete[email protected].
hi what is the minimum impedance that this amplifier supports?
ReplyDelete4-8Ohm

Deleteamigo aqui do brazil voce pode me tira,uma duvida pq no transistor em um dos fet nao chega o sinal pwm base de Q1 NAO TEM SINAL nao sai audio
ReplyDeleteola amigo se voce presta atençao a um curto na pcb entre base e coletor de mj340 o Q2 E SO CORTA COM O ESTILETE POIS NO VIDEO ELE CORTOU O CURTO
DeleteEai amigo guilherme tudo blz!?
DeleteQuero montar esse amp mas tenho pouco de receio, diz ai vc ja montou? Como foi tocou bem?
hi greetings excellent your amplifier ... how to build the coil L1 ??? ..... if I wanted to increase power, alone would have to increase voltage and change mosfet ???
ReplyDeletebuenas noches, hay una diferencia entre el PCB y el diagrama. en el PCB la pista que sale del colector de Q2 (MJE340) está unida a la pista de su base, y en el diagrama está separada. En el circuito del video está como debe ser, o sea, corregido. yo monté el circuito pero no me funciona, aparece una señal muy débil, probablemente haya alguna otra diferencia, o conecté algo mal. si alguien me puede ayudar, estoy agradecido. muchas gracias
ReplyDeleteequate with pcb
Deletesepara na pcb com um bisturi , no video que ele fez no tem curto
Deleteaprecien bien el vídeo muestra dos circuito diferente el primero aparecen como dice plano mj340 y mj350 y cuando van a probar circuito ya aparece un transistor mas grande donde vas un mj340 para mi es fraude eso es como ofender a tu seguidores
ReplyDeletefollow the pcb layout, it works
Deletebueno días amigo si funcionas pero mal yo con modificaciones le estoy sacando 50 vatio pero me suena ronco y se calienta los mofe si me quiere ayudar aqui esta mi correo [email protected] gracia amigo
ReplyDeletetienes um curto em Q2 entre B e c , corta com um bisturi
Deletetenho nucleo de 35mm AWG17!!! quantos giros???
ReplyDeletefunciona!!! mas tengo de por um preamplificador
ReplyDeleteDear Wahyu Eko Romadhon,
ReplyDeleteCan I use air coil inductor for L1 ? So, would you mind to tell me about diameter wire ?
Best regards,
tri.
good ono does not solve anything friend

ReplyDeleteBRI lf filter Wire gauge and turns pls tell me bro
ReplyDeleteFrom where you ordered the inductor coil
DeleteHola Wahyu eko Romadhon este amplificador da los 500 vatios En 8 ohmios a 4 ohmios Gracias amigo
ReplyDeleteOm bikin l1 nya imana om? Beraa lilit dan berapa diameter kaeat sama kern nya..
ReplyDeletePcb design 99% correct and secondary voltage require maximum 7.5v
ReplyDeleteAny boady can contact me on youtube. Pranatosh Tech channel. I will upload working pcb within 3 days.
Thanks pranatos what your youtube channel?

ReplyDeleteroberto brito , tive muitos problemas para fazer lo tocar pois temm um curto na pcb foi dificil indentificar mas tem que seguir e o esquema e ver a pcb contra a luz
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeletefrom what the material made is a core L1 ? maby from atx power suply or not ? whats a model of core L1 ?
WORKING CORES -
Delete1.Sendust Core will work 100 %
2.Ferrite core from computer SMPS, but will required a gap.
NOT WORKING CORES
1. Yellow and white core from smps is a big no no.
2. TOROIDAL CORE FROM DC DC CONVERTER ALSO WONT WORK
Hello Rommadhon sir, I am upload this amp video. My channel name is Pranatosh Tech.
ReplyDeletebuenos dias estimados amigos, primero deceo darles las gracias por el buen aporte, el amplificador suena mejor de lo esperado, (nota) a los que lo estan armando por primera vez el proyecto quiero decirle que tengan muy en cuenta el diodo 3 debe ser un uf 4004 con un tiempo de reaccion inversa de 35 ns o mas, en vez del 1n4148 que aparece en el diagrama.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteHope u r doing good.
U told the power supply voltage range but didn't mention the ampere or current rating for power supply
Thanks
Otimo Amplificador, acabei de montar e tocou sem problemas. fácil montagem, so necessita de um pré. obs, tem uma trilha em curto no transistor mje 350. fora isso, ta otimo
ReplyDeleteplease sir tell me what is the number coil gauge please..and ferrite core size.
ReplyDeleteThis circuit have feedback or not?
ReplyDeletethe idea sounds great, i like class d amplifier, and this one seems simple and portable, im building one, will give feedback when im done and tested it
ReplyDeleteHola amigos una consulta por que L1 tiene dos valores 22 y 35 eso no entiendo
ReplyDeleteEspero sus repuestas
Saludos cordiales
Q pasa q el amigo q posteo esto no contesta
ReplyDeletealgo errado com o driver do Q5 ? parece faltar uma alimentação...
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/I6EG90eTCY0 hola les dejo este link
ReplyDeleteFunciona de maravillas muchas grcias
Wahyu 50 voltios de fuente y 7 voltios de bias luego lo llevare a 75 voltios de fuente
Muchas gecias
Hi
ReplyDeletei'm approaching to build your amp, would you be so kind to share L1 specs? What type of core, type of wire, number of turns etc etc? Thanks
Core size,hight 1cm/width 3cm/
ReplyDelete42turn/1mm
Nice post.

ReplyDeleteHay un error me parece calienta el mosfet lo arme pero está saturado y ronco si alguien me puede ayudar por favor mi correo es [email protected]
ReplyDeleteHay un error me parece calienta el mosfet lo arme pero está saturado y ronco si alguien me puede ayudar por favor mi correo es [email protected]
ReplyDeleteCan you give me the size
ReplyDeletethis circuit is working fine, for irf540N maximum dc recommended is 50vdc, if you choose high rds on mosfet like irfp460, irfp240 , mosfet will host when passed 55vdc, i havent tried yet with 100vdc, this amp running fsoc = 100khz not really fast, more head despites will waste watts and efficiency not more than 80%. for low voltage 1rf540n is recommended, mosfet remain cool, i make 30uh with 1uf filter cap, i also havent tried to increase freq yet, but this amp some good is less component. the comparator should be change to have better performance too.
ReplyDeletethe inductor must be more than 100uh so it will stable. irfp460 no heat at all.
ReplyDeleteI have been build the circuit. Its work, its work, its work!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for share the information.
Greethings
youre wellcome but the circuit above is only for lessons to make class-d, actually it's not perfect.
DeleteSurely that this circuit works. It is very basic, and perfectly understandable, but is not a HQ amplifier for home audio.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, the author does not say nothing about then distortion, inttermodulatio, EMF, damping factor and those all features that are so important when one want judge an amplifier performance.
Basically I can find useful this class D amplifier for using as a megaphone only for talking very loud in a wide open field, where the sound quality doesnt have any importance, butv the efficiency and energy saving matters...
yes its not HQ
DeleteThis basic class-d amplifier, and very old design. But easily to learn class-d amplifier
ReplyDeleteWith a few adjustments it has good power using +70volts
ReplyDeleteWith a few adjustments it has good power using +70volts
ReplyDeleteYes im tried and work this amplifier
DeleteThis amplifier not recommended using for audio profesional, it just for learn a class d amp
ReplyDeleteyes sir
DeleteLooking for class D amplifier pcb for my car sub, but after reading the comments, i quit building this setup
ReplyDeleteHola este circuito funciona pero el detalles que no entrega la potencia que indica es apenas 60w
