Hi.....
I am new to this website. I have to design the Audio amplifier with transistor. pls give solution to the following specification.
sterio Amplifier.
Wattage: 50Wrms
Input resistance: 50K ohm
Amplification factor: 20
Output resistance: 4ohm.
signal to noise ratio:<1db
Powersupply:36VDC.

pls give immediate solution.

Another Q would be - what type of transistors to use?

US-spec transistors aren't available everywhere. Europe and Asia seem to have different kinds available.

The signal to noise figure is interesting - is this because the power supply is unfiltered, or is the signal source Edison wax cylinders?

The output noise level must be almost as high as the signal output level.
I think a pink noise generator must be included for it. Then it needs an audio mixer at its input.

50W into 4 ohms is a sine-wave with 40V p-p. From a supply of only 36V then the volume must be turned up too high to make 50 Whats worth of square-waves.

I think the spec on another website says it must have a class-A heating output.

A single-ended supply of 36VDC would allow for 18V peak.

50 watts peak would be 14.1V, with enough left over for headroom.

14.1V * 0.707 = 10V = 25 watts RMS.

An S/N of >1dB would be a slightly better spec? Please provide immediate response.

Peak power is measured in Whats. I thought the amplifier has a rating of 50 Watts.

I chat on 6 electronics chat sites. This thread is on a couple or on a few of them like many NOOB threads are. Sometimes different students in a class have the same question on different websites.
