4W Bridge Amplifier using LM388


Parts List:

R1-2-4-5=270?
R3 = 2.7?
VR1 = 10K? Log. Pot.
TR1 = 470K? Trimmer
IC1-2 = LM388
C1 = 100uF/25V
C2 = 100nF
C3 = 10uF/25V
C4-5 = 22uF/25V
C6 = 47nF

This is the 4W bridge amplifier circuit design based on power IC LM388 as the main component. Currently there are 2 chips of LM388 used since a LM388 only have one channel amplification. A single LM388 will deliver about 1.5W power audio output, while 2 pieces of it used with bridge connection, ten it will deliver up to 4W power audio output.

Notes:
For 6V supply and 4? loudspeaker, the circuit will deliver 1W audio output.
For 12V supply and 8? loudspeaker, the circuit will deliver 4W audio output.
