2 x 60 W audio amplifier circuit
Description.
The circuit diagram shown here is of a 2 x 60 Watt stereo amplifier based on the LM4780 from National Semiconductors. LM4780 is a superb audio amplifier IC capable of delivering 60W Rms power output / channel into 8 ohm speakers. The LM4780 has very low total harmonic distortion (less than 0.5% at full output) and has a power supply rejection ration (PSRR) of 85 dB. The IC requires very few external components and has a built in mute facility. The LM4780 is completely protected using their trademark SPiKe technology and has a signal to noise ratio greater than 97dB. The circuit given here is well suitable for applications like components stereos, self powered speakers, home theatre systems, compact stereos etc.

LM4780 pin configuration
Notes.
- The circuit must be assembled on a good quality PCB.
- The amplifier can be powered using a 35V DC dual supply.
- K1 and K2 must be 8 ohm, 60W speakers.
- An adequately sized heat sink must be fitted to the IC.

THIS CIRCUIT IS SO CHEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT WASTE MY MONEY TO MAKE THIS LM4780 AMPLIFIER
Hi Devendra try TDA2050 will give you 50watts power with very low distortion. you can use two as push pull amplifier similar to TDA2030 but with lesser distortion figures.
Sir, lm4780 op-amp is not available in allahabad. Can you tell me some simmilar i.c.s for stereo amplifier.
Thanks
Hi Shubham our passive tone control unit has got all required controls for a stereo system (one for each channel that is two of each controls). kindly go through the article.
Sir, as you said to place volume and tone controle before inputs a & b using preamplifier,but as this is stereo amplifier hence two preamplifiers must be used and this will cause pair of volume and tones control 1 for each channel. Which is not practical. Tell me sir what to do.
Probabily i didn’t understand what u said in previous post.
Sir, what is preamplifier?
Thanks a lot
Hi Shubham LM4780 is a dual channel high power operational amplifier (with inverting and non inverting inputs similar to an operational amplifier). Input A & B should be connected through volume control. A pre-amplifier has to be used before this mail amplifier. Use the passive tone control appeared earlier which has got volume, bass treble controls.

What is name of operational amplifier used, and what is lm4780. Please explain i am confused.
Thank u
I want to know that where i can place volume controle for speaker?
Thanks
Hi Rohit This willbe suited for simple stereo system with only two front full range speakers of 60 watts capacity. for side and rear speakers you require amplifiers around 10watts capacity each.
Hello Seetharaman,
Can we add more speakers such as front (left & right) rear (left and right) speakers to this circuit.
thanks
Hi John
the PCB art work for dual side PCB is available on National Site. artwork to given to PCB manufacturer for requirement. not readily available in the market. visit following site.

wher can i find pcb of this?
Pls guy i’m new is this circiut tested and confirmed pls i need reply
Hi Pattrick you can use 10K potentiometer as volume conrol just before the input to IC pin no 16 and 21 of the IC input A & B.
you can also refer to National semiconductor application data.
Hi Seetharaman,
Can you introduce a potentiometer as volume control for the above circuit.
Hi Seetharaman,
what is the budgetary cost of this project, excluding the power supply.
Hi Patrick Kindly refer to the 23rd page of national application for PCB layout

Hi seetharaman,
Any PCb schematics available for this wonderful circuit,
thanks
Hi Adnan it will remain the same
you suggest me 27 – 0 – 27 transformer @ 2.25Amps for 2 x 60watts but will it required more current on bridged configuration or the transformer ratings will remain same?
Yes Adnan you can get 120watts in bridged mode
you please go through national application
http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM4780.pdf
can we get 120 watts mono from lm4780?????????
Hi David I am yet to try, ordered and waitng for the chip at chennai. I love STK465 that is discontinued but a great chip by sanyo, kicking for the last 17years at home.
Hi seetharaman
Did you try this amplifier
it is working or not ?
IC pin configuration Name and Diagram Pin Name r No match?
plz Chk VoA or VoB is Speaker out and Hi Name Is not for IC?
Hi, when u try this diagram?
its really working Amplifier?
well diagram!!!
Hi Adnan I have o get the IC and ICL7107 0-200mV panel meter. give me few days time
when you try this then tell me then i will try too
please i need an isolator that can work for an uninterrupted changeover switch
Hi Adnan I am yet to try.
You require a 27 – 0 – 27 transformer @ 2.25Amps rating for stereo amp.
is the 32-0-32 volts 4 amp transformer is suitable for this??????
if not then suggest the power supply???
do you checked this amplifier in Ur lab????
