LM1875 official circuit player version, can switch between OTL or OCL mode for comparison and audition. LM1875 is a popular power amplifier chip that is still favored by many enthusiasts. However, different users have different power supply and power requirements. This circuit allows the LM1875’s OTL and OCL connection methods to be switchable through a switch, allowing players to try different effects as needed.
This circuit adopts a symmetrical design, with the power supply section using parallel connections of Nichicon FW series and Panasonic FK series, resulting in a more mellow and warm sound. Philips blue capacitor and Nippon APS film capacitor are used for decoupling, with independent decoupling and power supply for both channels. The negative feedback capacitor uses Nichicon Green Robe non-polarized capacitor.
The audition effect is excellent, with powerful low-frequency output and good density. Additionally, the design of this circuit board is also compatible with TDA2050 and TDA2030A, allowing for direct replacement, but attention should be paid to not exceed the corresponding chip’s maximum parameters for the power supply voltage.

Amplifier otl and ocl
An amplifier, whether it is an OTL (Output Transformer-Less) or OCL (Output Capacitor-Less), is a critical component in audio systems. An OTL amplifier is designed without an output transformer, which simplifies the circuitry and reduces cost. It relies on the output stage to directly drive the speaker or load. On the other hand, an OCL amplifier also eliminates the need for output capacitors, ensuring a more direct and accurate transmission of the audio signal. Both amplifier designs have their advantages and disadvantages, with OTL amplifiers offering better sound quality and transparency, while OCL amplifiers provide higher power efficiency and lower cost. Ultimately, the choice between OTL and OCL amplifiers depends on the specific requirements and preferences of the audio system in question.

Thanks a ton Toni, gerber is getting uploaded and getting previewed now based on the file downloaded via link in comment.
Cheers!!
Hi Prabhat, Thanks for the feedback, good luck in the assembly.
Hi Toni, please check the attached Gerber file here. It is downloading the Gerber of 3116 project, not the LM1875 ones, and the same problem is with the Mirror files as well. Kindly do the needful
Hello Prabhat, Thanks for warning, corrected link!
Hi Toni, Thanks for rectifying the same.
But it seems there’s still a problem with the attached Gerber file. When you upload the same on jlcpcb or pcbway, it says 0 layers detected and the Gerber is not getting uploaded. Could you look into this, please?
Hello Prabhat, I simulated here in the 2 manufacturers and it’s ok. Make sure you are using the ZIP file in the Gerber folder.
I will leave the Gerber here for download.
