Headphone amplifier with your hands in 15 minutes
Each novice radio amateur, after the first successful experiments, feeling the sweetness of his victories, wants to try to do something real. Not a toy, but a really working full-fledged thing. To do this, perfectly homemade simple headphone amplifier, which can be assembled with skillful handles in just a few minutes.
Where can it be applied? Firstly, for its intended purpose, namely to amplify the signal from a tonesblock or preamplifier, that is, where the audio signal is too weak and it is impossible to connect the headphones. In this case, you can make an amplifier for headphones with your own hands.
Secondly, it is useful as an additional tool. Portable headphone amplifier is perfectly suitable for testing circuits. After all, often there is a need to find the place of signal termination in the new circuit that you have assembled, but she does not want to work in any way. For example, you made the same headphone amplifier yourself. He will help in finding the cause of the malfunction. With it, you can very quickly find the point at which the signal disappears. After all, often this happens because of a trifle: badly missing parts, a faulty capacitor, etc. Visually or with a tester, the cause can be difficult to find.
On the same chip, you can make a stereo headphone amplifier yourself. To do this, you have to add two polar capacitors to the output (you can have one common), and the input volume control can be made from a dual variable resistor.
The schematic diagram is given in Figure 1. The input signal is applied to pins 1 and 3, and headphones to 32 ohms are connected to pins 7 and 8. Under technical conditions in the bridge mode, the load should not be less than 32 Ohm. To smooth the voltage to the power bus, capacitors C1 and C2, 100 and 0.1 μF, respectively, are connected. The resistance of the resistor R1 is 22 kΩ. Well, perhaps, and all the description of our first model.
