TDA2005 Amplifier : Pin Configuration & Its Applications

An amplifier manufactured for amplification purposes in audio/stereo and car radio applications is the TDA2005 amplifier. It is designed as an integrated chip with special features like high output power and adjustable gain in the MULTI WATT-11 package. The variants of the TDA2005 amplifier include TDA2005S for stereo amplifier applications and TDA2005M for bridge circuit applications.

This article gives a brief description of pin configuration, specifications, circuit diagram, and applications of TDA2005 amplifiers.

What is the TDA2005 Amplifier?

TDA2005 amplifiers are specially designed for a Class B, dual audio power, and 20-watt audio/stereo amplifier used in car radio or stereo applications. These are used as power booster amplifiers due to their high current capacity (3.5 Amps). It is available in a small IC with 11 pins in the MULTI WATT-11 package.

In stereo applications, it can drive very small electrical impedance loads (1.6 ohms) while in a bridge configuration, more than 20 Watts output power can be obtained.

The TDA2005 amplifier is used to adjust gain in radios and music players. Its high output power capability helps in driving the woofers and loudspeakers. This type of amplifier is used as a protective diode to drive the heavy inductive loads. If an audio amplifier circuit needs gain to be adjustable, then this is the best choice.

This is also known as a low-power audio amplifier available at a very low cost.  Its  high current capacity helps to design power booster amplifier circuits very easily. The maximum voltage gain achieved by the amplifier is variable and it can be used in several types of sound-producing devices like radios, music players, woofers, and speakers.

How to use a TDA2005 Amplifier/Circuit Diagram

The working of the TDA2005 amplifier is very simple and easy to operate. The main advantage is its flexibility, which can be provided with or without bootstrap operation. It is mainly used in designing stereo and bridge amplifying circuits. An example of a stereo amplifier circuit illustrates how to use the TDA2005 amplifier.

The circuit diagram of a stereo amplifier circuit is shown in the figure below. In this application, we can achieve 51dB of maximum Voltage gain with amplification. This circuit is tested to use in various applications.

Connect the circuit to the corresponding pins of the TDA2005 amplifier as shown in the above diagram. In this stereo amplifier circuit, input op-amp (L) refers to the left audio channel and the other input op-amp R refers to the right audio channel. This amplifier circuit is referred to as a stereo integrated amplifier circuit with high-quality amplification.

In this circuit, the speaker is connected to the output pins of 8 and 10. The noise in the signal is removed by using an output capacitor. While the fluctuations in the given power supply are reduced by using the input capacitor. This circuit is also called a 2 x 10W stereo amplifier because it drives two 10W speakers at each end of their output. If the TDA2005 amplifier drives a 20W speaker to its output of the bridge amplifier circuit, then the maximum voltage gain would be up to 50dB.
