Introduction: TDA7052 2 Watt Audio Amplifier
In this instructables,I will show you how to make 2 watt audio amplifier.It can give a output of 2 watt. The heart of this circuit is the IC TDA7052. It is a IC with 8 pins. This circuit can be operated with only 6 Volt.This is the easiest mono amp which uses less parts.I hope you would like it.
Step 1: Things You Will Need
The things you will need are:
1. 1 TDA7052 IC: You’ll find this IC online and
electronic stores. About this IC.
2.2 capacitors of 220µF of any volt, 100nF ceramic
capacitor (you don’t need the capacitors if you’re using batteries).
3.A 4.7 k volume control (potentiometer) and,.
4.1 inch x 1 inch Vero board: You can use Perf board,
too.
5. Some Wires.
6. Batteries.
7. 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Step 2: Making the Circuit
Here is the circuit of the amplifier.I made it on a Vero board and soldered it.If you don’t know how to solder then visit this page.I used the 8 pin base(socket) for safety of my IC. In the picture you see I cut the connection between the IC’s pins. In the picture I didn’t use the capacitor because I used batteries, but if you want to adapter then use the capacitors. I taped those wires in the picture with the Vero board for easiness. This circuit will give an output of 1 to 2 watt.If you try this circuit on a breadboard (Project board) maybe it won’t work well. But if you solder it on Vero board or perfboard it will work great.
Step 3: Tasting the Circuit
Connect the jack to your iPod, mp3 or mobile phone and play audio. I hope it will work great.
Step 4: Making the Box
To know how to make the box,Please,visit this page
Step 5: DONE!!!!
Congratulation! You have just maked a 2 watt audio
amplifier.
Have fun

Dear Hasan where we can obtain this TDA 7052 IC

I must say I am astonished how everyone copies the same design flaw over and over and no one seems to be brave enough to admit the error.
This circuit does not work, as I myself proved so many time by personal experience. You can try yourself that as you turn the potentiometer, sound gets distorted or disappears completely, while the IC is notably heating, producing no output.
The reason is that there must be ZERO DC CURRENT at the input. If this condition is not fulfilled, the two outputs go out of balance and DC current starts flowing through the speaker, which can be noted by watching its membrane. As you turn on the amplifier, the membrane raises (or deepens) significantly, then it returns about half way. The latter effect is caused by the thermal protection circuit. In the beginning the imbalance causes significant DC current to flow through the speaker and as a consequence the IC starts heating. After reaching the critical temperature, current is reduced by the protection circuit and keeps it at the reduced level.
It is a great mistake to use the NXP datasheet, copied all over the internet (including the NXP site itself) which is missing important details. Instead use UTC datasheet, which is correct (showing no DC connection to pin 2 and correctly showing coupling capacitor 0.47 uF between signal input and pin 2).

Can i use 4,5-5 volts?
in the schematic it says +3 volts.
thanks

Thank you for commenting. You may see the the datasheet. You can use 3 - 12 volt, I recommend you not to use more than 9 volt. Because the chip gets really hot.

The chip gets hot because the circuit is wrong :-) there is a serious flaw you didn't notice...

beautiful project! using 9 volt the ic will give more power? i have to add something to get the amp working with a 9v battery?
thanks!

Hello, i am from Pakistan. Could you tell me what i do with Tda7052a cause volume control dosen't work
Reply 2 years ago
You are right, Hamza. This circuit is wrong. There must be decoupling capacitor between pin 2 and the potentiometer. Everybody who actually built this circuit must know that, This guy simply copied schema from the internet and never tried if the amplifier actually works. It can't because the circuit is wrong.

Hi!
Sorry for the late answer. The volume control was supposed to work very well! If it doesn't than check your circuit and you always have an option to control volume from the device you are using.

Can we use mic at audio input?

Hey Nilesh,
I'm glad you asked. You can use a microphone at the input. But you have to use a transistor at the input.

is there any substitutes for TDA7052?
can a LM386 IC do 3 watts? or 2 watts?
Reply 6 years ago
LM386 is a bit less than 1 Watt

It's a cool project, and uses very few external components. Great!!

can u show me the schematics if I am not using capacitors?

It will be work when i use a 6 watt adopter

Thnx for commenting john, but u cant use lm386 instead of tda7052, lm386 cant give 3 watt output, but u can try to bridge

sound is very loud but are you sure its 2w

please watch the datasheet of the IC.
