Simple 12 watt Amplifier Circuit using TDA1020 IC

Last Updated on May 29, 2025 by Admin Leave a Comment

In this post we study a very simple yet powerful 12 watt amplifier circuit using a single chip TDA1020 and few other handful of passive components.

The TDA1020 is designed in the form of a monolithic integrated 12 W audio amplifier in a 9-lead single in-line (SIL) plastic package.

Typically the unit is principally created for a car radio amplifier. With a supply voltage of VP= 14.4 V, an output power of 7 W could be supplied right into a 4 Q load and 12 W into 2 Q.

In order to avoid interferences and car ignition impulses arriving through the supply rails into the IC, frequency restricting is employed outside of the music range within the preamplifier and the power amplifier.

The absolute maximum supply voltage of 18 V helps make the IC additionally ideal for mains operated radio receivers, audio recorders or record players.

On the other hand, when the supply voltage is higher over 18 V ( < 45 V), the IC TDA1020 won't be destroyed (since the IC is internally load-dump secured).

Additionally a short-circuiting of the output to ground (a.c.) is not going to kill the IC. Over Heat security is furthermore integrated.

For a exclusive attribute, the TDA1020 amplifier circuit features a very low stand-by current program.
The TDA1020 can be pin-to-pin compatible along with the TDA1010.

About Admin

Hey friends, Thanks a bunch for stopping by this site! I am an engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication. One of my passions is gathering information from all sorts of electronics books and tutorials. I then take that information and compile it into a language that is super easy to understand. My goal is to make those complex electronics circuit concepts and technical terms much more accessible for all the new and budding electronics engineers out there. I can also design customized circuit diagrams as required by the users.
If you have any questions related to this field, please do not hesitate to drop a comment! I am always here and ready to help you out with any queries you might have. I cannot wait to hear from you!
