What is It
Television Audio Stage

Television audio is an art that is reliant on technology to combine and

manipulate sound to generate a soundtrack for a picture. Audio stage or an
amplifier is an electronic device or circuit which is used to increase the magnitude
of the signal applied to its input. Amplifier is the generic term used to describe a
circuit which produces and increased version of its input signal. However, not all
amplifier circuits are the same as they are classified according to their circuit
configurations and modes of operation.
In “Electronics”, small signal amplifiers are commonly used devices as they have
the ability to amplify a relatively small input signal, for example audio signal
from antenna , into a much larger output signal to drive a loudspeaker for
example.
There are many forms of electronic circuits classified as amplifiers, from
Operational Amplifiers and Small Signal Amplifiers up to Large Signal and Power
Amplifiers. The classification of an amplifier depends upon the size of the signal,
large or small, its physical configuration and how it processes the input signal
that is the relationship between input signal and current flowing in the load.

 IC Audio Amplifier

Stages and function of an Audio Amplifier

1. Audio input devices The input is where the source of the sound is attached,
or “fed” to the amplifier. This can be with many types of plugs and devices such
as microphones, mixing boards, MP3 players, and audio signal pick up by
antenna.

2. Preamplifier is an electronic amplifier that converts a weak electrical signal

into an output signal strong enough to be noise-tolerant and strong enough for
further processing, or for sending to a power amplifier and a loudspeaker.
Without this, the final signal would be noisy or distorted.

8
3. Pre – driver is an audio amplifier stage that receives the amplified audio
signal from preamplifier and feeds it to the driver stage.

Note: TR3 is the Pre – driver stage

4. Driver stage is the stage that is standing between the voltage
amplification stage and the output stage. The output stage will usually have low
input impedance and so the voltage amplification stage cannot drive the
output stage alone.

Note: TR1 & TR 2 are Driver stage also known as Phase inverter

5. Output stage is a final stage of audio amplifier to deliver a certain amount of

signal power into a load with acceptably low levels of signal distortion. In this
stage, final amplification of audio signal takes place.

9
6. Feedback in electronics is the process of injecting a fraction of output energy
of some device back to the input. Feedback systems are widely used in amplifier
circuits, oscillators, process control systems, and in many other areas. Benefits
of a feedback system include the ability to precisely control gain (e.g.,
amplification of a signal in an op amp), improve linear response, reduce signal
distortion, and to control signal fluctuations

Classification and function of amplifiers

1.Operational Amplifier (Op-amp)

An operational amplifier is an integrated circuit that can amplify weak electric

signals. An operational amplifier has two input pins and one output pin. Its basic
role is to amplify and output the voltage difference between the two input pins.
An operational amplifier is not used alone but is designed to be connected to
other circuits to perform a great variety of operations.

10
 1. Small Signal Amplifiers
In “Electronics”, small signal amplifiers are commonly used devices
as they have the ability to amplify a relatively small input signal, for
example from a Sensor such as a photo-device, into a much larger output
signal to drive a relay, lamp or loudspeaker for example.
Small Signal Amplifier is generally referred to as a “Voltage” amplifier
because they usually convert a small input voltage into a much larger
output voltage. Sometimes an amplifier circuit is required to drive a motor
or feed a loudspeaker and for these types of applications where high
switching currents are needed Power Amplifiers are required.

3. Large Signal Amplifiers such as audio power amplifiers or power

switching amplifiers. Large signal amplifiers are designed to amplify large input
voltage signals or switch heavy load currents as you would find driving
loudspeakers.

Types of audio amplifier

1. Class A Amplifiers
▪ The simplest type of audio amplifiers is Class A. Class A amps have output
transistors that conduct (ido not fully turn off), irrespective of the output
signal waveform. Class A is the most linear type of audio amp, but it has
low efficiency. Consequently, these amps are used in applications that
require high linearity and have ample power available. Class A amplifier is
a high gain amplifier with high linearity class A amplifier provides better
high frequency and feedback loop stability. Other than these advantages,
Class A amplifier is easy to construct with a single-device component and
minimum parts count. class A amplifier introduce high power loss. Also,
due to high linearity, Class A amplifier provides distortion and noises. The
power supply and the bias construction need careful component selection
to avoid unwanted noise and to minimize the distortion.

Class A Transformer Coupled Transistor Amplifier. By using the impedance

matching properties of transformer, the low resistance of one stage or load can
be reflected as a high load resistance to the previous stage. Transformer
coupling is normally used when the load is small. It is mostly used for power
amplification.

11
2. Class B Amplifiers

Class B amplifiers use a push-pull amplifier topology. The output of a Class B

amp incorporates a positive and negative transistor. To replicate the input, each
transistor only conducts during half (180°) of the signal waveform. This allows
the amp to idle with zero current, thereby increasing efficiency compared to a
Class A amp.

There is a trade-off that comes with a Class B amp: the increased efficiency
degrades audio quality. This happens because there is a crossover point at which
the two transistors transition from the on state to the off state. Class B audio
amps are also known to have crossover distortion when handling low-level
signals. They are not a good choice for low-power applications.

2. Class B amplifier is a type of power amplifier where the active device

(transistor) conducts only for one half cycle of the input signal. Since the active
device is switched off for half the input cycle, the active device dissipates less
power and hence the efficiency is improved.

Transformer coupled Class B Push – pull amplifier.

The circuit diagram of a simple transformer coupled class B power amplifier is
shown in the figure below. Transistor Q1 and Q2 are the active elements.
The transformer T1 reproduces the input signal into two copies which are 180°
out of phase.

12
3. Class AB Amplifiers

A compromise between Class A and Class B amplifier topologies is the Class AB

audio amp. A Class AB amp provides the sound quality of the Class A topology
with the efficiency of Class B. This performance is achieved by biasing both
transistors to conduct a near zero signal output, i.e., the point where Class B
amps introduce nonlinearities. For small signals, both transistors are active, thus
functioning like a Class A amp. For large-signal excursions, only one transistor
is active for each half of the waveform, thereby operating like a Class B amp.

4. Class D Amplifiers
The popularity of handheld mobile audio devices, such as smartphones, MP3
players, and portable docking stations, brings power consumption into greater
focus. Now it is necessary to reduce power consumption to increase battery life.
Class D amplifiers use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to produce a rail-to-rail
digital output signal with a variable duty cycle to approximate the analog input
signal. These amps are highly efficient (often up to 90% or higher) because the
output transistors are either fully turned on or fully turned off during operation.
This approach completely eliminates the use of the linear region of the transistor
that is responsible for the inefficiency of other amplifier types. Modern Class D
amps also achieve fidelity comparable to Class AB amps.

13
5. Class G Amplifiers

Class G amplifiers are similar to Class AB amps, except that they use two or more
supply voltages. When operating at low signal levels, Class G amps select a low
supply voltage. As the signal level increases, these amps automatically select the
appropriate supply voltage. Class G amps are more efficient than Class AB amps
because they use the maximum supply voltage only when required; in contrast,
Class AB amps always use the maximum supply voltage.

There is a common problem in portable audio applications: the limited supply

voltage available to the speaker amp. Class G power amps solve this supply
voltage problem by using a charge pump to boost the supply voltage.

6. Quasi Complementary Symmetry audio amplifier an identical pair of output

transistors is used in the upper and lower halves, usually driven by a
complimentary pair of driver transistors. The driver stage or phase inverters are
NPN vs PNP transistors but the power stage uses both NPN transistors in upper
and lower halves.

14
7. Complementary Symmetry audio amplifier This amplifier usually has a
voltage gain of one, and a large current gain. It is the most efficient configuration
for transforming DC power from the power supply to the AC power driving the
load. Complementary symmetry audio amplifier uses NPN vs PNP phase inverter
and its power stage uses NPN and PNP transistor in upper and lower halves.

Amplifier Frequencies

▪ Class A Amplifier – has low efficiency of less than 40% but good signal
reproduction and linearity.
▪ Class B Amplifier – is twice as efficient as class A amplifiers with a
maximum theoretical efficiency of about 70% because the amplifying
device only conducts (and uses power) for half of the input signal.
▪ Class AB Amplifier – has an efficiency rating between that of Class A and
Class B but poorer signal reproduction than Class A amplifiers.
▪ Class C Amplifier – is the most efficient amplifier class but distortion is
very high as only a small portion of the input signal is amplified therefore
the output signal bears very little resemblance to the input signal. Class C
amplifiers have the worst signal reproduction.

16
1. Radio frequency amplifier, or RF amplifier, is a tuned amplifier that
amplifies high-frequency signals used in radio communications. The frequency
at which maximum gain occurs in an RF amplifier is made variable by changing
the inductance or capacitance of the tuned circuit.

2. Intermediate-frequency (IF) amplifiers are amplifier stages used to raise

signal levels in radio and television receivers, at frequencies intermediate to the
higher radio-frequency (RF) signal from the antenna and the lower (baseband)
audio or video frequency that the receiver is recovering.

17
3. FM Demodulator - This circuit takes in frequency modulated RF signals and
takes the modulation from the signal to output only the modulation that had
been applied at the transmitter.

A demodulator is a circuit that is used in amplitude modulation and

frequency modulation receivers in order to separate the information that was
modulated onto the carrier from the carrier itself. A demodulator is the analog
part of the modulator.

4. Audio Frequency (AF) Voltage Amplifier - used to amplify signals in the

human hearing range around 20Hz-20kHz, while some Hi-
Fi AF (audio amplifiers) spread this range up to around 100kHz, whereas other
audio amplifiers may control the limit of high frequency to 15kHz or less.

18
5. AF Power Amplifier - is an electronic amplifier designed to increase the
magnitude of power of a given input signal. The power of the input signal is
increased to a level high enough to drive loads of output devices like speakers,
headphones, RF transmitters etc.

9. Local Oscillator - is an electronic oscillator used with a mixer to change the

frequency of a signal. This frequency conversion process, also called
heterodyning, produces the sum and difference frequencies from the frequency
of the local oscillator and frequency of the input signal.

19
 Common Home Audio Amplifier Problems

1. Overheating
Home audio amplifiers produce a great deal of heat. As such, overheating is a
very common problem with them. Overheating generally occurs when amplifiers
are left on for exceedingly long periods of time or when they are placed close to
other heating-generating devices. For this reason, it is important to place your
amplifier in an area in which it has ample space to breathe. Overheating is also
likely to occur if your amplifier's settings have been cranked up to extreme levels.

2. Humming
Humming is another common problem that has been known to occur with home
audio amplifiers. Humming can be caused by a number of different factors, so
it's important to know how to diagnose it. For example, if turning your volume
up and down affects the loudness of the humming, the problem most likely lies
with the volume control. If the level of the humming remains unchanged despite
your volume settings, the source of the problem likely lies with one of the
components connected to your amplifier. Humming can sometimes be remedied
by making sure your components are securely connected to your amplifier. You
can also use a process-of-elimination method by disconnecting each component
one-by-one and listening to see if the humming persists after each disconnection.
It is recommended that you turn off your amplifier and components while the
disconnection process is underway

3. Inadequate Power Supply

Inadequate power supplies are another common source of amplifier problems.
Home audio amplifiers use a good deal of power and, if run through the improper
type of power supply, they may provide insufficient sound quality and not operate
to their full potential. When selecting a power supply for your home audio
amplifier, make sure it is capable of handling the type of voltage and electrical
current given off by your amplifier.

4 Common Reasons For An Amplifier To Stop Working

20
1. The Amplifier Doesn’t Power On At All

For the amplifier to turn on in the first place, it is important that it gets the right
power needed to get turned on. Check for the power wire at both the ends, one
at the amplifier end and the other at the socket end.
If any of these ends are not properly attached, it will pass no current. Moreover,
if the voltage is too low, it will not have enough power to turn the amplifier on!

2. No Sound is Coming From The Speakers

If you hear no sound from the amplifiers, then you definitely have problems either
with the speakers or the cables which connect your speakers and the amplifier.
For this, try to unplug the RCA cables from each unit and reconnect them.
Make sure the volume is turned on at both the ends and still if you can’t hear
anything, then there is some definite fault in the audio jack of either of the two
units.

a. First be sure the television is not muted via remote control.

b. Set the meter to low resistance range (ohm) and test between the two pins
of the speaker. If okay it should have low reading between 4 ohms and 16
ohms.
c. Check the supply to the audio IC if present and if not maybe the IC is
shorted or there is an open component on that line. Check back and see what
is blocking the voltage. It could be open diode or capacitor shorted to the
ground.
d. If the sound is intermittent resolder the actual IC and also the component
around it.
e. If the above is okay then consider replacing the IC- you should also touch
the actual IC with power off and if it is getting very hot then you should
replace it directly.

3. You Hear a Lot Of Distortion From The Speakers

If the sound from the speaker is distorted it could be the input coupling
capacitor is faulty, speaker paper cone or dry joints on the actual audio IC or
the component around it.

21
 A bad or underpowered amplifier can result in a lot of distorted sounds from the
speakers. Improper wiring, bad grounds, ground loops are several other factors
that leads to sound distortion. Try to see if the patch cables and speaker wires
are working fine. Also, try to separate the cables of head unit and amplifier as
they have the tendency to pick up interface and lead to a distorted sound. If still
you cannot hear the sound clearly, it is best to call out a professional to quickly
fix the issue.

4. Low audio output from the speaker.

If the output sound is low then it could be the actual IC is faulty or the output
Coupling capacitor has developed high ESR and should be replaced.
