2x50 watt stereo amplifier
The STK415-090-E class H audio power amplifier operates efficiently by modulating the supply voltage to the output stage based on the input audio signal level. This characteristic allows the amplifier to achieve high output power while minimizing power dissipation, which is critical for maintaining performance and reliability. The design must ensure that the voltage difference between the high voltage (VH) and low voltage (VL) supplies does not exceed 40V to prevent damage during operation.
The thermal management of the amplifier is crucial, as excessive heat can lead to component failure. A heat sink with a thermal resistance of 2.34 °C/W is recommended to ensure that the hybrid IC operates within safe temperature limits. The use of a thermoplastic adhesive resin for mounting the IC to the heat sink enhances thermal conductivity and stability.
The circuit requires careful selection of passive components to achieve the desired performance. Resistors are specified for biasing and feedback, while capacitors are utilized for filtering and stability. The power supply design must accommodate the specified input voltage range of 27 to 60 volts, with particular attention to the offset voltage for the VL supply. This ensures that the amplifier operates efficiently and within its specified limits.
Overall, the project involves a detailed understanding of audio amplification principles, component selection, and thermal management strategies to create a reliable and high-performance stereo amplifier.This electronic project stereo amp is based on the STK415-090-E class H audio power amplifier hybrid IC that features a built-in power supply switching circuit.

STK415-090-E class H audio power amplifier supports output loads from 4 up to 8 ohms and require an input DC voltage from 27 up to 60 volts.
For 8 ohms load , voltage required by this stereo amp project are : +/- 27V for VL and +/-37V for VH . This 2x50 watt stereo amp project must be designed so that (|VH|-|VL|) is always less than 40V when switching the power supply with the load connected.
Set up the VL power supply with an offset voltage at power supply switching (VL-VO) of about 8V as an initial target. To prevent over heating damage thermal design must be implemented and a thermoplastic adhesive resin must be used for this hybrid IC .
