Simple Low Power Car Stereo Amplifier
A simple low power car stereo amplifier circuit based on TDA 2003 is shown here. The circuit uses cheap, readily available components and it is very easy to construct. TDA2003 is an integrated car radio amplifier from ST Micro electronics that has a lot of good features like short circuit protection for all pins, thermal over range low harmonic distortion, low cross over distortion etc.
Circuit diagram :
A simple low power car stereo amplifier Circuit Diagram
In the circuit given here each TDA2003 is wired as a mono amplifier operating from a 12V supply. Resistors R2 and R3 forms a feedback network that sets the amplifiers gain. C7 is the input DC de-coupling capacitor and C5 couples the speaker to the amplifiers output. C4 is used for improving the ripple rejection while C1 and C2 are employed for power supply filtering. C3 and R1 are used for setting the upper frequency cut-off. Network comprising of C6 and R4 is used for frequency stabilization and to prevent oscillation.
Notes.
- Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB.
- Heat sinks are necessary for both ICs.
- The circuit can be operated from 12V DC.
- S1 is the ON/OFF switch

Stereo Circuit Balance Meter
Description
When L R signals are equal, no output is present from Ul, and pin 6 is at a steady 4.5 V. Unbalanced audio causes the LEDs to vary in brightness,which causes a difference that corresponds to unbalance between channels.Circuit Diagram

BH1417 Stereo FM Transmitter
Another important feature of this IC is that the transmission frequency seem like either set utilizing a 4 channel DIP switch. The IC seem like either powered in one anything between 4 to 6V DC and comes with other an output power around 20mW. At full output power the circuit consumes only 20mA and has a channel separation of 40dB. There {seem to be|appear to be|are} 14 possible preset transmission frequencies, starting in one 88.7MHz and incrementing in steps of 0.2MHz Which is going to be selected utilizing the DIP switch. The PLL circuitry of those IC is so precise that Theres almost no frequency drift.

3 Watt Stereo Audio Amplifier
This very simple schema is ideal for small power audio applications like portable CD players or radio sets.The schema is designed strictly as per the datasheet and found to be working great.
The MAX9710 a stereo audio power amplifier IC capable of delivering 3Watts of out put to 4 Ohm loads. MAX9710 can be operated from a single 4.5V to 5.5V power supply , makes it ideal for hand held applications.The IC also features thermal overload protection.
Notes:
- Use a 5 V DC power supply for powering the schema.
- If you want to use a battery ,then use a 6V battery with a IN 4007 diode series to the positive terminal of it.The diode will drop 0.7 V and the IC will get the rated ~5V.This is just a safety recommendation .
- Assemble the schema on a good quality PCB or common board.
