Class AB Audio Amplifier With TDA2030
Introduction
The amplifier shown below uses the very versatile monolithic IC TDA2030 audio amplifier
to amplify the audio input from a 3.5mm Jack to power a subwoofer. It delivers an
output of 12W for 4 Ohm speaker and 8W for a 8 Ohm speaker.
Schematic

From the AUDIO_IN input, RV1 is a volume control knob. The amplifier is DC coupled
with C1. C1 and R1 form a high pass filter network to allow high freq signals
to be amplified.
TDA2030 is powered with 12V VCC. The 1N4001 Diode is a reverse protection component
to prevent the capacitors CP1 and C3 from getting damaged. R2 is a potential divider to bias the IC.
CP1, C3 and C2 are noise filters.
The gain for this circuit is set by R5 and R4 and is given by: -R5/R4, which in this
case gives 25.6 dB.
The series network formed by R7 and C4 is a Zobel network used to correct some of the
internal amplifier inefficiencies.
Layout

There are ground copper fills on both the front and back copper sides to drive the
noise to ground and prevent background hissing
