Product Description

The Micro Audio Amp is a miniature audio amplifier based on the LM358 operational amplifier and uses a secondary push-pull amplifier for driving external speakers. Audio signals can be fed into the AUDIOIN pin, and the potentiometer provides a variable gain control. While the output of this kit is directly connected to a small speaker for testing purposes, it can easily be modified with an external connector for use with larger speakers (such as RCA connectors). This kit can also be connected to other MitchElectronics audio projects, such as the 555 Astable and the 555 Synth Punk, for amplification purposes.

Applications

The design of this kit has been chosen to demonstrate multiple circuit configurations, including inverting amplifiers with a virtual ground, AC coupling, and push-pull transistor amplifiers with cross-over bias. As such, the Micro Audio amp is an excellent kit for use in educational environments such as classrooms and remote practicals.

The Micro Audio Amp can also be used as an AC amplifier, enabling for the amplification of weak AC signals. One such example would be IR sensors that need to ignore constant IR emissions (such as those from the sun), and only react to sudden changes in IR emissions (such as remote controls).



Notes

Note that product specifics such as output frequency depend on the tolerance of the components. The numbers provided here are an approximation only.
