Construction & Working
This IC Requires only External Capacitors for its operation, Resistors R1 and R2 provides ground balance to the LEF and RIGHT audio input. This circuit don’t have Volume control, if you need one then introduce two variable Resistors in Audio Input. All capacitors used in this circuit are electrolytic capacitors with 35V Voltage ratings. VCC pin (11) is connected to the +12V power supply and Ground (-) supply is connected to the Pins (3, 8, 14). For bias filtering purpose C1 is connected across the +12V and GND line.
Audio Input LEFT is connected to the IN2 Pin (6) through 4.7µF C3 capacitor. RIGHT is connected to the the IN1 Pin (2) through 4.7µF C4 capacitor. OUT2 pin (10) is connected to the LEFT speaker and OUT1 pin (12) is connected to the RIGHT speaker through 220µF Capacitor. For noise filtering 0.1µF Capacitor is connected across the terminals of Loud speaker.
Now by applying bias and voice audio input we can hear the 6W+6W Amplified audio output from two loud speakers.
