HI guys,
I'm looking for a circut for a small, say 5-10W audio amplifier for the line out of my PDA-phone to interface with my car stereo. This is a seperate output from the headset output, but after testing, is still marginally sufficient to play back through a pair of earphones.
The original design was just a 1:1 audio transformer with a couple of resistors and caps - i assume just to isolate DC and convert the impedence into something matched? I am essentially stuck here because audio transformers are no easier to obtain then coded rotary switches here, they are hard to obtain..
The main purpose of the amplifier is just to boost the line-out signal to an acceptable level to make sure i do not always have to fiddle with my car stereo's volume control in order to get a decent volume (lets say switching from the CD player or something).
Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right distance. Perhaps a circut with 5-10W of power. (or less, my car amplifiers would do most of the work) Requirements are less part count, easy to obtain parts.
Also, I could use some advice on audio amplifier design on stripboards - ground planes and such..
Thanks!
