Updating old articles - TDA2822M and TDA7052
I started my website originally hosted on a University profile server which was moved to electro-dan.co.uk by the time I graduated.
With very little information online, my very young self decided to write up simple builds of the TDA2822M and TDA7052 chips and hopefully inspire other novices to build simple amplifiers
It's long overdue, but using my wisdom now I'm in my late thirties I've made major updates to these articles to improve their coverage and quality,
It's been fun and nostalgic to build these amplifiers again on just stripboard. All articles now contain stripboard layouts which I've built and tested.
I hope you'll find them useful and even though these chips are now obsolete, they are still available and cheap online. Although not as DIY as a fully discrete amplifier, you'll still learn more buying one of these over buying a fully assembled module.
The TDA2822M update is here.
The TDA7052 update is here and now includes details on the TDA7052A
Details on the TDA7053 and TDA7053A (stereo verions of above) are here
I'm also planning a write up of the more powerful TDA7056A, which I've done some analysis on but needs a full test and write up.
