ABSTR ACT
This project aims to design and implement a mini audio amplifier which is a basic model. The amplifier is
designed to provide high-quality audio output while maintaining low power consumption. The amplifier circuit is
based on a class-D amplifier topology for high efficiency and low heat dissipation. The design includes features
such as volume control, input selection, and output protection.

Amplifier is a basic component of all the music systems available in market. The need of this intermediate
circuitry exists so that we can hear crystal clear music from the music systems. The signals given by an audio
transmitter device such as cell phone through a 3.5mm audio jack cable is very low in amplitude. Such a signal if
given to the speaker, the sound output given by the speaker will be less . So instead, we given the audio input to
the amplifier circuitry. The amplifier circuitry amplifies this audio signal. The amplified version of the audio
input is fed to the input of the speaker which then converts it into sound output. Audio frequency range lies in the
frequency range of 20Hz – 20KHz. The purpose of audio amplifier lies in to increase the amplitude of signals
lying in this frequency range and suppress the rest.
Motivation
The motivation behind this project is to understand the fundamental principles of audio amplification and
electronic circuit design using basic components. By working on a project that focuses on simplicity and
accessibility, we aim to learn the basics of how audio signals are amplified and how different components
such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors are used in amplifier circuits.
This project provides a hands-on learning experience that can lay a solid foundation for more advanced
projects in the future. By starting with basic components, we can grasp the core concepts of amplifier
design and gain confidence in working with electronic circuits.
Motivation
Furthermore, by building a mini audio amplifier using basic components, we can explore the
possibilities of creating functional electronic devices with minimal resources. This project encourages
creativity and innovation by challenging us to achieve a specific goal using simple components and
circuitry.
Overall, As a instrumentation engineer the motivation of this project is to learn and explore the
fundamentals of audio amplification and electronic circuit design in a practical and engaging way,
setting the stage for future projects and deeper understanding of electronics and instrumentation
engineering.
