Notes:
- Can be directly connected to CD players, tuners and tape recorders.
- Do not exceed 23 + 23V supply.
- Q3 and Q4 must be mounted on heatsink.
- D1 must be in thermal contact with Q1.
- Quiescent current (best measured with an Avo-meter in series with Q3 Emitter) is not critical.
- Adjust R3 to read a current between 20 to 30 mA with no input signal.
- To facilitate quiescent current setting add R8 (optional).
- A correct grounding is very important to eliminate hum and ground loops. Connect to the same point the ground sides of J1, P1, C2, C3 & C4. Connect C6 to the output ground.
- Then connect separately the input and output grounds to the power supply ground.
Making a Solar Energy Powered an iPhone Battery Charger
For faster charging, a larger solar cell can be attached to the bag. Enough power can be generated to fully charge an iPhone in about 5.5 hours and an iPod Touch in 4 hours using a slightly larger solar cell with 6V at 250mAh. The charger will automatically switch to trickle charging when the cell reaches full charge. The charging current is limited to 100mA when charging using the mini USB port and the charging is limited to 280mA when charging using the barrel plug jack

.
The materials needed to build the charger include a small solar cell, Lithium Polymer battery charger, minty boost kit, adhesive backed Velcro, Altoids tin, connector/wire, and small double adhesive squares as shown in the images below. An input power that ranges from 3.7V to 7V maximum can be accepted by the single cell Lithium Polymer. In bright sunlight, the solar cell maxes out at approximately 5V at 100mA. A larger solar cell with 6V at 250mA can be used for faster charging.

The images below show the assembly of minty boost kit where a JST connector is soldered to the minty boost PCB instead of connecting the battery holder in the kit. The minty boost circuit is allowed to connect to the Lithium Polymer battery charger circuit with this tiny connector. The minty boost is tested by connecting the battery pack and the charger circuit, the Lithium Polymer battery connects to the connector marked GND on the charger board and the minty boost connects to the connector marked SYS.

To fit the charger, a notch is cut out of the other side of the Altoids tin and used double sided adhesive to secure the charging circuit to the bottom of the Altoids as shown below. The bottom of either one of the circuit boards should not touch the bottom of the Altoids tin while reconnecting the minty boost PCB and the battery to the charging circuit.

Connecting or adding the solar cell can be done in different ways. Shortening the connector leads and plugging the barrel plug into the barrel jack on the charging circuit is one way. The other method is using another JST connector to replace the connector and plugging it into the third connector marked 5V on the charging circuit. Since there is no bog barrel plug sticking out of the side of the tin, using the second method is cleaner.
As shown in the photos below, some 2” Velcro was used to attach the solar cell to the top of the Altoids. To help protect the battery, a layer of clear packing tape was used for wrapping. N top of the two circuit boards, the battery pack is then set down. A red LED on the charger board will light up when the Mighty Minty Boost is set out in the bright sun. The iPod/iPhone/USB powered device can be connected once it is fully charged.

A Simple Crossover Circuit for Tweeter

The concept of operation this circuit is the speaker that can protected is tweeter with 4 or 8 ohm impedance. R1 is a potentiometer resistor that used to adjust matching the tweeter speaker output level to that of woofer. R1 should be rated more than 2 Watts.

Simple Class A Power Amplifier by IRF530
I was in need of high quality headphones amplifier because of many reasons and decided to build SDS Labs phone amp. This is extremely rewarding project in a sense that it is fully documented, includes PCB, parts list and building notes – so it’s easy to build and then it sounds great.
I have used IRF530 and IRF9530 pairs and they work just fine given the fact that you add 100-300 Ohm gate resistors to prevent high frequency oscillations. This is a common problem for MOSFET designs and if you don’t have a good oscilloscope or want to be on the safe side just use gate resistors on any MOSFET design. Ferrite beads put over gate pin could also be used instead but I somehow prefer resistors.

Class A Power Amplifier by IRF530N 78L05
This is the best design I have came up so far!
I use two 6x6x4cm heatsinks per channel. Power supply is unregulated (just transformer, diode bridge and capacitors) but I cannot hear anything even when I put my ear within few centimeters of the loudspeaker. Opamp has very good power supply rejection ratio. I’ve tried to keep everything as simple as possible and basically LM317 would be just one extra opamp
If you are looking for better sound, get separate regulated low power supply just for the U1 opamp, something like +-15V at 100-200 mA.
I have also used one LM7805 to get bias for both channels – you may want to use two separate 7805 in a final amp to get better channel separation. R2 pot is anything from 500 to 50k. I have used 22k.

R5 = 1.5K
R6 = 2.7K
R7 = 100R

R10 = 1R-1/2W
Q1 = BC560
Q2 = BD439
Q3 = BD439
C1 = 10uF-63V
C2 = 10uF-63V

C6 = 220uF-25V
C7 = 220uF-25V

Notes:
- If necessary, R2 can be adjusted to obtain 13V across C8 positive lead and negative ground.
- Total current drawing of the schema, best measured by inserting the probes of an Avo-meter across the positive output of the power supply and the positive rail input of the amplifier, must be 700mA. Adjust R8 to obtain this value if necessary.
- Q2 and Q3 must be mounted on a finned Heatsink of 120x50x25mm. Minimum dimensions.
- Add R5 and C5 if the bass-boost facility is required.

500W low cost 12V to 220V Inverter Circuit Diagram
How to calculate transformer rating
The basic formula is P=VI and between input output of the transformer we have Power input = Power output
For example if we want a 220W output at 220V then we need 1A at the output. Then at the input we must have at least 18.3V at 12V because: 12V*18.3 = 220v*1
So you have to wind the step up transformer 12v to 220v but input winding must be capable to bear 20A.
Attention: This Circuit is using high voltage that is lethal. Please take appropriate precautions

- Before setting quiescent current rotate the volume control P1 to the minimum, Trimmer R6 to zero resistance and Trimmer R3 to about the middle of its travel.
- Connect a suitable headphone set or, better, a 33 Ohm 1/2W resistor to the amplifier output.
- Connect a Multimeter, set to measure about 10Vdc fsd, across the positive end of C5 and the negative ground.
- Switch on the supply and rotate R3 in order to read about 7.7-7.8V on the Multimeter display.
- Switch off the supply, disconnect the Multimeter and reconnect it, set to measure at least 200mA fsd, in series to the positive supply of the amplifier.
- Switch on the supply and rotate R6 slowly until a reading of about 100mA is displayed.
- Check again the voltage at the positive end of C5 and readjust R3 if necessary.
- Wait about 15 minutes, watch if the current is varying and readjust if necessary.
