A 30 watt audio amplifier circuit using TDA2040 is shown here.

TDA2040 is a Clas
s AB monolithic integrated audio amplifier available in Pentawatt package. The I
C has low harmonic distortion, low cross over distortion and has a built in circ
uitry for short circuit protection.
In the circuit two TDA2040 ICs are wired in BTL (Bridge Tied Load) configuration
in order to deliver 30W output into an 8 ohm speaker at +/-16V DC supply.
Capacitor C1 is the input DC decoupling capacitor.
Network comprising of components
R2, C4, R3 provides feedback for IC1 while
R7, C6, R8 network provides feedback for IC2.
Network C5, R5 and C9, R9 provides high frequency stability.
Capacitors C2, C3 filters the positive supply rail while capacitors C7, C8 filte
rs the negative supply rail.
A well designed and good quality PCB will always improve sound quality.
Use +/-16V DC dual supply for powering the amplifier.
Heat sinks are necessary for IC1 and IC2.
Load can be an 8 ohm speaker.
C2, C7 must be rated 25V and other electrolytics can be 10 or 15V.
