100W MOSFET power amplifier.


A 100W MOSFET power ampli er circuit based on IRFP240 and IRFP9240 MOSFETs is shown here. The ampli er operates from a +45/-45
V DC dual supply and can deliver 100 watt rms into an 8 ohm speaker and 160 watt rms into a 4 ohm speaker. This Hi-Fi ampli er circuit is
suitable for a lot applications like general purpose ampli er, guitar ampli er, keyboard ampli er. The ampli er can be also used as a sub
woofer ampli er but a subwoofer lter stage has to be added before the input stage. The ampli er has a low distortion of 0.1%, a damping
factor greater than 200, input sensitivity of 1.2V and the bandwidth is from 4Hz to 4 KHz.

100W mosfet power amplifier circuit

About the circuit.

Capacitor C8 is the input DC decoupling capacitor which blocks DC voltage if any from the input source. IF unblocked, this DC voltage will
alter the bias setting s of the succeeding stages. Resistor R20 limits the input current to Q1 C7 bypasses any high frequency noise from the
input. Transistor Q1 and Q2 forms the input differential pair and the constant current source circuit built around Q9 and Q10 sources 1mA.
Preset R1 is used for adjusting the voltage at the output of the ampli er. Resistors R3 and R2 sets the gain of the ampli er. The second
differential stage is formed by transistors Q3 and Q6 while transistors Q4 and Q5 forms a current mirror which makes the second
differential pair to drain an identical current. This is done in order to improve linearity and gain. Power ampli cation stage based on Q7 and
Q8 which operates in the class AB mode. Preset R8 can be used for adjusting the quiescent current of the ampli er. The network comprising
of capacitor C3 and resistor R19 improves high frequency stability and prevents the chance of oscillation. F1 and F2 are safety fuses.

Circuit setup.
Set R1 at midpoint before powering up and then adjust it slowly in order to get a minimum voltage (less than 50mV0 at the output. Next step
is setting up the quiescent current and keep the preset R8 in minimum resistance and connect a multimeter across points marked X & Y in
the circuit diagram. Now adjust R8 so that the multimeter reads 16.5mV which corresponds to 50mA quiescent current.

Notes.

Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB.


Use a +45/-45 V DC, 3A dual supply for powering the circuit.
Power supply voltage must not exceed +55/-55 V DC.
Before connecting the speaker, check the zero signal output voltage of the ampli er and in any case it should not be higher than 50mV. If
it is higher than 50mV, check the circuit for any error. Replacing Q1, Q2 with another set could also solve the problem.
Fit Q7 and Q8 to a 2°C/W heat sink. Both Q7 and Q8 must be isolated from the heat sink using mica sheets. Heat sink mounting kits for
almost all power transistors/ MOSFETs of almost all package styles are readily available in the market.
All resistors other than R10, R11 and R19 are 1/4 watt metal lm resistors. R10 and R11 are 5W wire wound type while R19 is a 3W wire
wound type.

+45 / -45 dual supply for the 100W mosfet power ampli er

A basic dual power supply is used for the ampli er circuit. If 6A ampere bridge is not available, then make one using four 6A6 diodes.C10 and
C11 are high frequency bypass capacitors. Filter capacitors C8 and C9 must be at least 10000uF, higher the value lesser the ripple. Optional
3A fuses can be added to the +45 and -45 lines. Transformer T1 can be a 230V primary, 35-0-35 V secondary, 300VA step down transformer.

hello seetharaman sir…


I have tried this circuit but output is too low
predicting output volume is less as compare to 30 watt apmli er.
everything is ne and correct.
only the thing is I have used multiturn trimmer instead of multiturn pot
is this problem occurs because of multiturn trimmer?
second is whenever I switch on the circuit I required to adjust quiescent current (i.e multiturn trimmer R8)
always. because whenever I switch on the circuit the quiescent current is different than I adjusted prior.
what is wrong? and what to do?
please help me
waiting for reply..

thank you.

What is the purpose of the resistors R1 and R8 being variable? Also what use capacitors C1 and C2 in parallel? Why not use a single
capacitor?

Thanks


seetharaman
September 27, 2014

R1 to make zero current ow thrbough speaker. R8 to adjust no signal current adjustment of 50mA. C1 is used to take care of HF
decoupling, as C2 is wound capacitor with inductive componunt and for LF decoupling.

Hi sir,
I am planning to make a 2.1 sound system with your circuit.
The spec is given below, also I have some doubts regarding the project. It will be great if I get your valuable suggetions.

Spec
======
drivers :
1. 12 inch 100 watts 4 ohms subwoofer – 1
2. 10 inch 50 watts 8 ohms woofer – 2
3. 8 inch 50 watts midrange – 2
4. tweeter – 2

ampli ers:
1. 150 watt RMS at 4 ohms drivers – 3
( 1 for subwoofer and 2 for left and right channel)

20 – 200 hz lowpass lter – 1


low mid high control board – 2 ( for left and right channels)
low mid high passive cross over – 2

my doubts :
1. do I need to use a preamp in this circuit ? because I am splitting the input into two different ampli ers (sub and left right). I think preamp
will just only increase the voltage level of the input signal, but when we split a signal into two actually the current is divided into two. Will
the preamp be helpful in current gain?
2. I will use 20-200 hz lowpass lter before the subwoofer ampli er, do it act as a preamp ?
3. In common I have seen bass and treable control knobs in ampli ers but I want to use low, mid and high controls, is it okay? if yes please
suggest me some links to get low, mid and high control board circuits.
4. I am planning to x all these circuits in a single casing so can i use a single transformer to the entire system, if yes please specify the
voltage and amps.
5. i have heared that the ampli er should be 50% more powerfull than the drivers to get good performance at max volume levels , so I
decided to upgrade your circuit from 100 watt to 150 watt, so what kind of changes should I do with the given circuit ?
6. I want to add a short circuit or overload protection fuse in this system, suggest some links to get some idea about this.
7. One woofer, midrange and tweeter will be connected parallely to the one channel of stero ampli er, so I think two 8 ohms drivers can

http://www.circuitstoday.com/100w-mosfet-power-amplifier 9/30
23/11/2018 100W MOSFET power amplifier circuit using IRFP240, IRFP9240

make 4 ohms load. I didn’t considered the tweeters impedence. Do the tweeter have impedence ? or is it signi cant ?
8. Im also planing to do a LED spectrum analyser and digital volume controls with remote. These features will be added later. If u have
ideas about these please share.

Thank you sir

ufffff…..
please somebody help me
I am getting new problems again and again everyday in this circuit
and I make changes everyday to sort out the problem
today zero signal output is less than 50mV but there is no voltage across x and y point
so I checked the MOSFET, it was dead so I replaced it by new one
and again I saw the voltage across the x and y point it was varying and never stay stable.
hence I change the R8 slowly and change in R8 caused to overheating of MOSFET and again my MOSFET is dead.
all other is well…. but I am getting trouble with quiescent current and MOSFET only
when I checked the MOSFET by separate it from circuit after it blew up the gate and drain pin of IRFP240 and gate and source pin or
IRFP9240 is showing shorted on multimeter.
what can be the reason behind damage of MOSFET.

zero signal output of my circuit is 2 to 4 mV is this okay???


and what to do for unstable quiescent current.
of course my resistor is not 0.33+0.33 it is total 1 ohm
so the voltage across x and y point should be the 60 to 65 mV.
this is the third time my MOSFET dead.
when I was testing the circuit second time I connected 4 ohm speaker and input was from mobile phone.
output was totally distorted. I thing it was because of one MOSFET is damage from both and one is on.
but gain was less than 8 watt. because I was connected 8 watt speaker and I thought speaker should blow up but it didn’t happen rather
the volume was so less than the volume in 10 watt ampli er.
what can be the reason behind of less gain.

gysss… I am suffering from various problem


but I want to success at any cost
I spend all the pocket money for this circuit and now I don’t have money so, I cant leave this circuit without get success

please share something….I need your suggestions I need your help

http://www.circuitstoday.com/100w-mosfet-power-amplifier 10/30
23/11/2018 100W MOSFET power amplifier circuit using IRFP240, IRFP9240

zero signal output is less than 50 mV(varying between 25 to 40 mv) and voltage across X n Y point is 160 mV since R10 and R11 is 1.5
ohms

but the problem is both MOSFET heating too much within 2 minute averaged so that the soldering ux at pin of MOSFET also melts.
power supply is +/- 55 volt
is the reason behind of heating MOSFET is few extra voltage????
I don’t thing so because temp. of both MOSFET within 2 minute is so huge. if I power up the circuit for more than 2 min then I am sure that
both MOSFET will blew up

what is the reason behind of this?? anyone can suggest? what to do for this huge heat??? how to solve this???

hiiee….

seetharaman,
something wrong with my circuit
all the connections are right, all the components are in good condition,
all components have appropriate rating values, I have used Q7 IRFP9140 in the place of IRFP9240, and R10 n R11 is 1.5 ohm
power supply is +/-55 volts
when I power up the circuit nothing any burns but the reading of zero signal output is 17 volts…. and voltage across X and Y point mark in
the circuit is zero volts

I have check voltage across drain to source of Q8 n Q7


Q7 drain to source and drain to gate is 37 volts
Q8 drain to source and drain to gate is 71 volts

gate to source is zero volts for both Q7 n Q8

can you tell me what the problem with my circuit

all readings are unexpected like zero signal output


it’s 17 volt where it should be 50mv
and adjusting R1 does not affects zero signal output
as well as adjusting R8 also does not affects voltage at X n Y point

but when I checked R1 n R8 pot its working properly rather I replaced it but same problem exist

what to do pleas help me….

What happened to R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R11 and R14 are they burnt. Which are the resistances burnt. This give a clue about your
problem. Hope you have not exceeded + / – 45 volts DC and used fuse also. Hope you have kept R1 at center and R8 at minimum value
before switching on your ampli er.


Chiliman
May 4, 2014

The resistors seems to be ne. I disconnected the circuit from mains quicker than the fuses. Could the root of this problem be an
overheated transistor when soldering? I think that i might did that with some of the mje´s as i soldered them of from another pcb.


Seetharaman
May 6, 2014

up to 30 seconds with 275 to 300 deg C should not matter. might have been defective ones. to quick check do not connect MOSFETS
with just other transistors switch on check the voltages it should give a fair idea about the circuit healthiness. Once things are ne set
current adjusting pot to minimum value switch on with new MOSFETS and with a dummy load of 25 ohms without speaker.If things are
ok set the current as recommended, and connect 8 ohms speaker and try.

You cannot use 25 volt transformer. you have to use 25 – 0 – 25 volt 5 Amp transformer with bridge recti er and lter capacitors to get
plus and minus 35 volt power supply for the ampli er. With this power supply and 4 ohms load (speaker) you will get 100 watts RMS

If you are using 2 similar ampli ers yes with proper insulating kits you can use provided the sink is suf ciently big to take care of the
generated heat. If heat sink temperature is used for thermal compensation it cannot be used. It is a better practice to use separate heat
sink for each different application.

stroex1
January 27, 2014

Is this corect?
„Now adjust R8 so that the multimeter reads 16.5mV which corresponds to 50mA quiescent current.”
16.5mV/0.33ohm=50mA or (R10 or R11)
16.5mV/(0.33+0.33)ohm=25mA …? (R10+R11)
Finaly the quiescent current MUST BE 50mA? Pls seed!


Seetharaman
January 28, 2014

Hi you are correct it should be 33mV. what is written should be across one source resistance only.

Chiliman
January 6, 2014

If I power up six of these with the same power supply, what value should each recti er diode have?


Seetharaman
January 7, 2014

Hi Chiliman the bridge recti er should be capable 25amps. The lter capacitor should be atleast 10 X 10000uF for both positive &
negative supply. Instead I would like you to use separate lters and recti er for each ampli er, you mount bridge recti er and lter
capacitors of the value shown in each circuit board. Use a single transformer may be torroid one capable of 20amps capacity

hi,can u plz send me the full pcb layout design, inc P.S

I’ve one doubt how to ctrl the vol of the amp?


also in the electronic shop the transformer is rated in ‘A’ not in ‘va’
,is 300va=6.5A?

Hello!
First of all i want to tell you that its a VERY LOUD ampli er even with dual 27V transformer,i will try it with 40v when i buy the new
transformers, i have only one question, what kind of pot is the ideal to adjust the volume?
I use a 100k pot but when i turn it off i stil have sound in my speakers, a 1M ohm pot would be good or even it will be small?
Thank you very much!

Hi Theofrastos 100K logarithmic control that should take care for volume problem at lower settings, do not use Lin controls.

Hello, both my transistor burned out in 2 secounds (Q8 and Q7), what can cause this problem? I have also changed the value of pot R8 to
5k (i could’t nd any 3k pot multiturn from my store) but i dont think it have anything to do with the burn transistors ? Thanks for the help


Seetharaman
March 9, 2013

Hi Niklas in the place of R8 put a link. Reduce the fuse rating to 500mA. If every thing is oK it should stay alright if the fuse blows
indicates something wrong in the wiring. Please check and correct and proceed as above. If it is ok replace link with say 2k2 pot and set
the current through the fuse for 50 to 60 mA.

whenever i connect the circuit, the resistor R7 burn out…


i could not collect the mosfet IRFP240 & IRFP9240…instead i used two IRF9240 with proper biasing. please help…

Baz
July 13, 2012

Hi, I’m a little confused here…. looking at setting R8 for 16.5mV across 2 x 0.33 ohms looks like 25mA to me? Am I missing something or
should the measurement be across just 1 x 0.33 ohm OR 33mV across points X to Y? Thanks, Baz

Hi Baz you are correct.

Hi Ifte without feeding any input to the ampli er (say volume control fully closed no sound from speakers)connect a multimeter across
points marked X & Y in the circuit diagram and adjust R8 so that the multimeter reads 16.5mV which corresponds to 50mA quiescent
current.

This escheme was not designed for this author. This ampli er work ne, but in the scheme displayed here, have some issues. The “pots”
(R8 and R1 must be mult turn), the value of R17 is not a 47K. The R17 must set a current aprox of 1mA, so, we need a 330r to 470r. R*I=U,
R=?, I=0,001A U=0.650v,(equal a VBE voltage). Do the calc, and see for yourself. Be carefully for use others MOSFET. The bandwidth is
3,6Hz to 39.4KHz. Don’t exceed 55V dc for each rail. All that you need is 40+40AC 225VA trafo for each channel@160Wrms/4ohms.
Good Luck.

Hi Joel this ampli er’s bandwidth is 4Hz to 40KHz, which is quite ne for audio use. what is written is wrong a zero is missing in the upper
limit.

@you can u go and check the parameter of irfp240 and see if there is any similarity at http://www.alltransistors.com

Hi Gamerandds most economical IRFP540 / 9540 pair also can be used. It can work with 4 ohms speaker delivering around 200watts.
below this impedance it is risky to operate the ampli er it may blow the FETs.

WILL THIS RUN ON 2 OHMS STABLE?

Hi Mike you can try is the standing current is not raising to required level with R8, you may have to raise R8 to 4.7k pot. otherwise it
should work.

I will make a pbc for this circuit if u want it just ask, but has anyone considered using Irfp250 for this circuit instead? I dont wanna just buy
20 if them and they don’t work. ???

Selanco add another pair of mosfets with it’s own resistors, I’m planning on adding 4 more to get around 500 watts rms. Remember that in
4 ohms one pair can Play up to 160 watts!!

Hi!
Will this circuit work for a bass amp/combo? I think that it will do the job, but I want to be sure. Also has anyone saw or made/could make,
a pcb project for this schematic?
