A car stereo amplifier circuit using TDA2040 is shown here. TDA2040 is a monolithic integrated audio amplifier that operates in class AB mode. The IC has built in circuitry for brief circuit protection and thermal shut down and more over it can be operated from one supply too. The amplifier will deliver 12 watts into to a 8 ohm speaker.
In the circuit the IC is wired in order to work from the cars 12V line. Capacitor C7 is the input DC decoupling capacitor and R4 provides feedback. Network consisting of resistor R5 and capacitor C5 provides high frequency stability and prevents any probability of oscillation. Capacitor C6 couples the ICs output to the speaker. C2 and C1 are power supply filters.
