This simple 10 watts audio power amplifier is designed for home-brewed purpose. It is based on an Audio Power Amplifier IC that is called TDA2030. It is a monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt package, intended for use as a low frequency class AB amplifier. The TDA2030 provides high output current and has very low harmonic and cross-over distortion (0.2% at full load).

Further the circuit incorporates an original (and patented) short circuit protection system comprising an arrangement for automatically limiting the dissipated power.
