Someone said if you find a fence ask why it's there before you tear it down.

On the B40 there is a 470?F cap on the output, between the LM386 output and the speaker.? On the LM386's TI datasheet Figure 10 there is a 250?F cap in that spot.? It's not an unreasonable leap to surmise that someone thought, "Hmmm, a 470 would probably work there and I've got a bunch of them."? I can't find anything in the datasheet explaining the need for the capacitor.? It may be that there is some DC offset in the output that needs to be removed.

On the ?B there is also a 470?F cap between the output of the TDA2822 and the speaker.? On the TDA2822's STMicroelectronics datasheet application circuits there are examples with both 100?F and 470?F capacitors.? Again, I can't find why those caps are there.

The presence of these caps in the manufacturer's guidelines makes the "too much capacitor in the ?B" hypothesis much less probable.? Maximum input voltage rating of 15V in the TDA2822 datasheet imply that 12-14V supplies should not be a problem, either.

A dead short on the output should not be a catastrophic problem for the amps because the caps are blocking DC current, so any power to be dissipated is associated with how loud you've got the volume knob cranked.? So if you turn it up and don't hear anything, turn it back down!

All bets are off if we have parts of unknown provenance, ie, counterfeits.? Does HF Signals have a process in place to assure the supply of components that conform to the expected specifications?? Bad batches of parts shouldn't happen from reputable suppliers.

All that said, there should probably be a pretty plain heads up somewhere in the tribal knowledge that if you wire up the ?B speaker jack per the website and plug a TS (tip-sleeve) as opposed to a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) male connector into it, you will have a dead short across the jack and it won't work properly.

One way to avoid that trouble is to simply wire the output of the amp to the tip connector of the jack and leave the ring connector of the jack floating (unconnected).? If you plug in a mono speaker, or an old fashioned earphone, it will work.? If you plug in stereo headphones you'll only hear audio from one earpiece.

I'm leaving mine wired for stereo.

The capacitor is there because this are you amplifier is designed to be operated with one supply voltage, +V, and ground.

The opamp output transistor circuit can only move between zero and a positive voltage. ?

To avoid keeping a physical offset displacenent on the speaker cone, at the cost of significant current through its very low DC resistance! One adds a large capacitor in series to allow the speaker cone to rest at neutral position.

In the datasheet I looked at, they were using a 1000 ?F capacitor. ? That’s probably give you a better low frequency response, and basically the value isn’t that critical.

Jerry Gaffke All Messages By This Member #43217 It would be really really tough to fabricate a 100uF cap as part of a silicon wafer. Datasheet specs the quiescent output voltage to be around half of the supply voltage, right where you would expect it given the totem pole output driver. As per post 43200. And as alluded to in previous posts, the size of the cap is dictated by the impedance of the load (typically 8 ohms) and the lowest frequencies you need to be hearing. If you don't like the cap you can use the bridge topology in the datasheet, using the two halves of the amp at 180 degrees out of phase..? But then neither side of your speaker is a ground potential.? It's either that or a big cap, your choice.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 02:56 pm, Arvo KD9HLC wrote: Yes, but I'd think if someone was building an IC audio amp they'd go ahead and stick a cap inside it!

Tim Gorman All Messages By This Member #43254 If you insert a mono plug into a TRS jack the ring terminal of the jack is almost always shorted to ground (i.e. the sleeve). If you wire the output of the 2822 to both the tip and ring terminals and then insert a mono plug there simply isn't any doubt that you are probably going to short the output of the 2822 to ground. Bad things will happen. There is no reason to wire the output of the 2822 to both the tip and the ring terminals. If you have a stereo headset then wire both headset leads to tip of the plug and only wire up the tip lead on the socket. Then if someone inadvertently plugs in a mono plug you won't short the output of the 2822 to ground. I agree that the large charging current going into the 470uf cap could stress the 2822, perhaps only causing a failure after a number of on/off cycles. That's something that would be hard to diagnose! I have modified my schematic to show using a 47uf cap being fed with a 1 amp fuse from the 2822. If I ever get a chance to actually finish up my ubitx it will be interesting to see if the 1 amp fuse is sufficient. tim ab0wr On Thu, 01 Mar 2018 15:39:50 -0800 "Jerry Gaffke via Groups.Io" <jgaffke@...> wrote: And subsequent replies have suggested this may not be sufficient.

Extremely low fidelity, to the point of not being good enough to listen to the news. I agree with Vince, not trivial to put a new connector on most headphones these days. Try it. Better than hacking your $1 headphones is a mono to stereo adapter plug: ? ?? As suggested in a post a couple days ago. Not yet clear if avoiding shorts is sufficient to keep this chip from failing. Some reports of plugging in stereo headphones causing it to fail. Jerry toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 08:17 pm, Thomas Sharka wrote: Headphones are cheap.

David Wilcox #43281 I know that we get away with plugging and unplugging things hot on most of our radios but as for me I will turn off the radio before making any changes. Any thoughts on that?

If you wire the output of the 2822 to both the tip and ring terminals and then insert a mono plug there simply isn't any doubt that you are probably going to short the output of the 2822 to ground. Bad things will happen. There is no reason to wire the output of the 2822 to both the tip and the ring terminals. If you have a stereo headset then wire both headset leads to tip of the plug and only wire up the tip lead on the socket. Then if someone inadvertently plugs in a mono plug you won't short the output of the 2822 to ground. I agree that the large charging current going into the 470uf cap could stress the 2822, perhaps only causing a failure after a number of on/off cycles. That's something that would be hard to diagnose! I have modified my schematic to show using a 47uf cap being fed with a 1 amp fuse from the 2822. If I ever get a chance to actually finish up my ubitx it will be interesting to see if the 1 amp fuse is sufficient. tim ab0wr On Thu, 01 Mar 2018 15:39:50 -0800 "Jerry Gaffke via Groups.Io" <jgaffke@...> wrote: And subsequent replies have suggested this may not be sufficient.

Our best guess now is that there are significant currents involved when that 470uF cap suddenly has to charge up to Vcc/2 And that some clone TDA2822's may be weaker than mainline manufacturers.
