This is a class AB audio power amplifier circuit which built using a TDA2002 or TDA2003 power amplifier IC module. These are replacements for the original LM383 which is no longer available. It is easy to build and has a minimum of external components. The module has both short circuit protection and thermal protection. It can drive loads as low as 1.6 ohm and is capable of delivering over 10 watts from a 16 V supply.
The TDA2002 and TDA2002A are integrated circuit amplifiers specially designed for use in car radios, where the adverse electrical environment places great demands upon the reliability of circuits.
The supply voltage may be anywhere between +8 and +18V, and the IC will accept transient voltage peaks of up to 28V without damage. The IC can supply a short-circuit output current of 3.5 A and 15W of power at a case temperature of 90°C. At a supply voltage of 14.4V (fully charged battery ) the maximum output power is at least 4.8W, and typically 5.2W into a 4Ω load.
The IC will, in fact, drive load impedance’s as low as 2Ω, in which case the maximum output power is at least 7W and typically 8W. The above power are all measured at 10% distortion, but obviously at lower output powers the distortion is much less (Typically 0.2% ).

Minor point: According to what seem to be knowledgeable sources, the LM383 is actually a clone of the TDA2002.
Hello Mike
Ok.
how to add gain,treble, and bass control??
Hello Xian
Wait! Soon we will have the solution!
Hello, I wanted to know how to create the circuit 3d. that program, the urgent need for college if you can tell me please.
Why the voice is too low even the volume potensio is on maximal? thx.
Supply current AC or DC??? how much we get voltage from Supply circuit????
I use eagle eagle3d and povray but there are some components that are not visible, please help, thank you.
Hi Jone
Im my portuguese blog has a tutorial
te1.com.br
Could you please post/send the file design of this litle project? it would be really usefull. Thanks.

Hi, this circuit is only theoretical or have been assembled and tested? Regards
Assembled and tested!
