Part Number:OPA548
Hi,
I am using OPA 548 as a power amplifier to drive a 100 W, 8 ohm speaker in constant voltage mode. Without any load,the gain is as expected.But, as soon as I attach a load to the output pin,the voltage drops drastically. The details are as follow:
Pin1- Vin = +/- 0.5 V
Gain = 23
Vsupply = 16 V(+ve), Negative terminal grounded.
Vout =11.2 V without load, 4.4 volt with speaker
Current lim = 3A (Tried with maximum 5A as well)
Snubber capacitor- R= 10 ohm, C=0.01 uF (ceramic)
Bypass capacitor- 0.01 uF (ceramic)
Capacitor with power source- 10 uF (tantalum) II 0.01 uF (ceramic)
Heat sink with fan.Surface area-300 sq. cm with two fans(12V)
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
