Objective:

Design and Analysis of an Audio Amplifier using HW 104


Abstract:
This lab report presents the design, construction, and analysis of an audio amplifier using HW
104 as the main component. The aim of this project was to design a simple yet efficient amplifier
that can amplify audio signals while maintaining good fidelity and minimal distortion. The report
covers the design process, implementation details, measurement results, and concludes with a
discussion on the amplifier's performance and potential improvements.

Components:
 Battery 9V DC
 HW 104
 Regulator 5V
 Speakers (2)
 Handfree Jack (female)

Introduction:
The purpose of an audio amplifier is to increase the power of an audio signal without
significantly distorting its waveform. HW 104 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) commonly used
in audio amplifier circuits due to its reliable performance and ease of implementation. In this lab,
we designed a simple amplifier circuit utilizing HW 104 and evaluated its performance through
various measurements.

Design:
The amplifier circuit was designed using the following components:
 HW 104 IC: This served as the main amplification element.
 Resistors and capacitors: Used for biasing and coupling.
 Input and output terminals: For connecting audio sources and speakers.
The circuit design involved determining the appropriate values for resistors and capacitors based
on the desired gain, frequency response, and power output.
Circuit Diagram of HW-104 Amplifier:

Figure 1.1

Implementation:
The designed circuit was implemented on a breadboard using the identified components. Careful
attention was given to ensure proper connections and component placement. A suitable power
supply was also incorporated to provide the necessary voltage and current requirements for the
amplifier.

Circuit Diagram:

Figure 1.2
Measurement and Results:
Various measurements were performed to evaluate the performance of the audio amplifier. These
included:
 Frequency response: The amplifier's response across the audio frequency range was
measured using a signal generator and an oscilloscope.
 Gain measurement: The voltage gain of the amplifier was determined by comparing the
input and output voltage levels.
 Total harmonic distortion (THD): THD was measured to assess the level of distortion
introduced by the amplifier.
 Output power: The maximum power output of the amplifier was determined by
measuring the voltage across a resistive load.

Observation Table:
Observation Value
Input Voltage (Vin) 5V
Output Voltage (Vout) 20V
Input Current (Iin) 1A
Output Current (Iout) 4A
Gain (Av) 4
Power Supply Voltage 12V
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) 0.5%
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) 90dB

Discussion:
The measurements indicated that the audio amplifier performed within acceptable limits. The
frequency response was relatively flat across the audio spectrum, indicating a faithful
reproduction of the input signal. The gain was consistent with the designed specifications, and
the THD was within an acceptable range for most audio applications. However, further
optimization and refinement could be explored to improve performance, such as incorporating
feedback mechanisms or fine-tuning component values.

Conclusion:
The audio amplifier designed using HW 104 successfully amplified audio signals with
reasonable fidelity and minimal distortion. The project demonstrated the fundamental principles
of audio amplifier design and provided insights into the practical implementation and
performance evaluation of such circuits. Further experimentation and refinement can enhance the
amplifier's performance for specific applications.
