AUDIO AMPLIFER

An audio amplifier is an electronic device that increases the strength

(amplitude) of audio signals that pass through it. An audio amplifier
amplifies low-power audio signals to a level which is suitable for
driving loudspeakers.
The input signal of an audio amplifier may only measure a few
hundred microwatts, but its output may be tens or even thousands of
watts.
Design parameters for audio amplifiers include gain, frequency
response, distortion and noise.
Types of Audio Amplifiers

There are many different kinds of audio amplifiers and at Future

Electronics we stock many of the most common types categorized by
gain, nominal gain bandwidth, output power, maximum supply
voltage, packaging type and number of channels.
The most common sizes for gain are 20 dB, 26 dB, 30 dB, 36 dB and
48 dB.

LA4440
LA4440 is a 2 channel power amplifier that can deliver up to 6W per
channel of 19W in bridge connection. It requires minimum number of
external parts, it has small pop noise at the time of power supply
ON/OFF. It has good ripple rejection of 46dB, small residual noise,
built in over voltage and surge voltage protection etc. ideal feature of
the IC is its pin-to-pin protection.
Some of the features are
Good ripple rejection : 46dB (typ.)
Good channel separation.
Small residual noise (Rg=0).
Low distortion over a wide range from low frequencies to high
frequencies.
Easy to design radiator fin.
 Built-in audio muting function.
Built-in protectors.
Thermal protector
Overvoltage, surge voltage protector
Pin-to-pin short protector

CAPACITORS
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores
electrical energy in an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as
capacitance.
Capacitors are widely used as parts of electrical circuits in many
common electrical devices. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor does not
dissipate energy.

APPLICATIONS

Audio Amplifier many purpose some of them is as below:

Digital devices, like MP3 players, are known to have the worst
audio quality in the market today
Most portable audio amplifiers are designed small enough to fit
in your pocket, while providing the necessary power to better
drive headphones or small speakers.
 Applications for audio amplifiers include home audio systems,
concert and theatrical sound reinforcement and public address
systems.
The sound card in a personal computer, every stereo system
and every home theatre system contains one or several audio
amplifiers.
Other applications include instrument amplifiers such as guitar
amplifiers, professional and amateur mobile radio and portable
consumer products such as games and childrens toys.
