» » »TDA2030A Chip Sound Amplifier
I found an unnecessary board from the TV. My eye was attracted by the TDA203A chip. I know that TDA microcircuits are low-frequency amplifiers, there is a lot of information about them on the Internet. I decided to assemble my own simple amplifier according to the scheme:
TDA2030A Chip Sound Amplifier

It will be required for assembly


  • Chip TDA2030A.
  • Capacitors 0.1 microfarads - 3 pieces.
  • Capacitors 2200 μF 25 V - 2 pieces.
  • 2.2 ohm resistor.
  • Resistors 22 kOhm - 2 pieces.
  • 680ohm resistor.
  • Capacitor 22 uF 25 V.
  • 4.7 microfarad capacitor film.
  • Case, switch, wires, radiator, connectors for tulips.




Build a simple amplifier on the TDA2030


My goal was to create an amplifier without spending a lot of money on it. All the details except the case I found in various old boards, which are not naturally needed.
To assemble an amplifier on the TDA2030, you can use various methods and solutions, in this case I will use a hinged installation. Since many pins are connected to ground, I recommend making a branching wire.

Next, proceed to soldering the joints.
The countdown of the conclusions of the chip is from left to right, with the marking and conclusions aimed at you.


After you have assembled the circuit - check it. We’ll connect the speaker and check the amplifier at a low volume.

If everything works, proceed to the next step.
I had a finished building. It is better to bring the radiator out to better cool its surface. Otherwise, overheating may occur in the housing.
Attach the radiator, connectors, remove the power wires, set the on - power switch.







The amplifier has the following characteristics:
  • Supply voltage - from ± 4.5 to ± 25 V.
  • Output power - 18 watts.
  • The nominal frequency range is 20-80.000 Hz.

Almost all such microcircuits are very hot and therefore will not work for a long time without a radiator.


Final view:

This is a truly incredible simplicity scheme, which even beginner hams can afford. With all this, it has decent characteristics for its minimum size.
Assemble your amplifier and you will be happy friends.

    Hi, it’s a very good article, but I don’t manage to figure out the circuit, but I really want the amplifier, please draw what to solder

      Well, what is incomprehensible here. There is a shemka, legs 1-5. Here, as shown on the diagram, the legs are soldered to these legs and voila
      Look, everywhere the schemes are the same. The legs are the same.

    Guys, what's the deal? Solder according to the scheme, the ratings are all there, the outputs are marked as grounding in the common bundle, and minus, the radiator is longer for ms, and the thermal grease is fatter)) Today I’m going to solder it myself.

    Soldered the other day the other day, but! He does not sing, is silent with a 4-ohm, a diffuser jumps in dynamics with an 8-ohm, and that’s all, the question is, where is the error? I checked the circuit several times, it gave power to 7.5V, and 12.0V, to 7.5V there was no effect at all (((

    Hi) I collected this amp from rubbish, put it in a burnt sub, and was shocked, the bass was even, it worked from the crown for 3-4 hours, thanks for the article, I’ll take care of it

    Hi)) I collected this circuit, and I did not find the C5 element, I replaced it with two 1000 microfarads and two 100 microfarads in parallel. And turning it on, after 3-5 seconds the transistor exploded, the voltage was 10.5 volts.
    And from this question: He exploded because of this replacement? If not, then why? It's just that I'm not strong at that.

    No, not because of this. most likely mixed up something in the connection of the chip. About ten years I assembled a circuit, everything worked, but this circuit requires high-quality assembly, namely:
    1. A good radiator.
    2. Reserve power supply.
    3. Power wires must be at least 2mm2 cross-section. Otherwise, the amplifier will enter self-excitation at a very high frequency and die.
    If everything works, but the sound is not clean with distortion (metallic), increase power and filtering by power.
    And you will be happy.

    Powerful and clear sound is amazing.

    The frequency range cannot be 20-80000 Hz, since the characteristics of the TDA 2030 microcircuit and our analogue K174UN19, 20-30000 Hz.

    Collected. Quick and easy. When using the PSU 12V 1.0A at minimum volume, it works for 3-4 seconds and shuts down. When using a power supply from a laptop 18V 3,5A it works for 13-16 seconds and the same thing. It’s clear that there are problems with the power supply, but I don’t understand whether there is a PSU in the power supply in the assembly? Please tell me.

    If it works cleanly but not for long, then maybe turn it on without a radiator, the microcircuit heats up and turns off.

    It is foolish to assemble such a circuit with a hinged installation. Do not forget that with such an interweaving of wires, unwanted feedback will appear between the input and output of the amplifier. As a result, the amplifier will self-excite at low and high frequencies, this will be noticeable with an increase in volume. The microcircuit will buzz or squeak and bask. The power supply should be with a power margin of about 5 amperes and well filtered by electrolytic capacitors, at least 2000 microfarads at the input and output of the stabilizer. Then there will be a clean and powerful sound.

    Is the capacitor at the input too big? I think it will give a very low cut, the speaker in honest 18 watts will work to break

    Please tell me, should all 25V capacitors be here? Or it’s possible more or less. And is it still possible not to put tulips and immediately solder a wire with a 3.5mm plug and the output is just a speaker. Thanks in advance!

    The microcircuit is cool, it is possible to connect it via a bridge circuit and then all this disgrace can be dispersed to 180 watts according to Soviet standards, everything is simple: there are a couple of transistors for unloading and everything in a bundle! There are a couple of features, the power of the microcircuit depends on the manufacturer, everything is in reference books if of course you have such! :) The chip conflicts with some preamps. The experiments were carried out more than 15 years ago, if set up, then God forbid! Who needs a connection scheme for old chips write. I will try to answer as soon as possible.
