AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards Assembly instructions for AMP2 Thank you for choosing an audio kit from 41hz.com! On delivery, check that all components have been included. If something is missing, let us know immediately. A bill of material (BOM) should have been included with your delivery and is also included here, as APPENDIX 1 Download the data sheet for the Tripath TK2350 reference board, as the schematic and layout of AMP2-T is identical.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards If you are not familiar with soldering surface mount components, it is recommended that you do some test soldering on a separate scrap piece of material. Preferably buy some simpler kit or components and practice on these. Tools needed Assembly of the kits requires the usual set of electronics working tools; soldering iron, wire cutter etc. The boards for AMP2 are triple weight, double sided copper.

The main component of the input section is one of the two chips in the TK2350 chipset; the TC2001 signal modulator. This chip sees only low voltages 0 and +5V. It translates analogue inputs to a digital signal train. Input and feedback resistors set the gain of the input operational amplifiers in the TC2001 chip.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards has a cooling slug that helps transporting heat to the PCB or a heat sink. There are mounting holes through the PCB for optionally using an external heat sink on top of the chip. 3. Gate drive resistors and protection diodes. These are between the driver chip and the FETs and control the switching speed and indirectly also the heat dissipated by the driver chip. Also, the current sense resistors are here. 4.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards - Connection terminals and connection wire. I recommend soldering wires to the board unless you plan to connect and disconnect them a lot. I also recommend you use the wire you plan to use in your final application right from the start. The PCB leads and wire required for connecting the power supply and speakers are heavy duty. Soldering them requires substantial heat and with repeated soldering you risk damaging the PCB.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards b. The leads of the current sense resistors R1, R2, R15, and R18. These should preferably be mounted with some standoff that helps keeping them cool. The whole supply rail current will pass through these resistors. c. Mount the gate diodes and resistors D1, D2, D3, D4, R3, R4, R11 and R12. d. Mount the other axial resistors. 7. Solder the offset trim potentiometers R104 and R204 8.

The HMUTE will go high (+5V) in case the amp is muted or in case of over current, over/under voltage and other errors. Shorted outputs or shorted output transistors would also trig the over current sensing. If no errors are detected and the amp is unmated HMUTE will be low (0V).
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards c. There are three low ESR 100uF (150 uF) 35V for the onboard V10 PWM supply. These are the C300, C19 and C71. d. There are two 47uF for the bootstrap circuitry, C17 and C18. 11. Solder the inductor L4 and the Q1 MOSFET for the V10 supply. 12. Wind the toroid inductors. You should use 29 turns of 1.2 or 1.3 mm enamel insulated wire for the T108-2 toroids included in the kit. The inductance should be 11 uH.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com - - - - Revision 1.0T boards Ground the signal inputs to signal ground (connect IN1 and IN2 to AGND on connector J2). Do NOT connect the speakers yet. Connect the +5V supply and its ground. A 100 mA fast fuse is recommended. Important; If the +5V supply is higher than 6V the chipset will be permanently damaged. The 5V supply should be well stabilized and filtered.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com • Revision 1.0T boards Audio signal sources and the 5V supply must be grounded to J2. This connector is in turn connected via an inductor bead to the star grounding point where the power supply is connected.

AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards APPENDIX 2: Fine tuning the AMP2 The components included in the AMP2 kit work well for many users. For optimal performance the AMP2 board may be fine tuned to each application. Here is a summary of what to think of. Input impedance, input gain The TK2350 can be described as a two stage amplifier. The first is an operational amplifier while the second is the power stage / modulator.

It can also be noted that the Tripath boards and measurement results given in the Tripath data sheets are usually done with standard electrolyte capacitors as input caps. Modulator gain The AMP2 and TK2350 is a feedback topology.

The voltage values are set with four resistors in the 0805 size.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards APPENDIX 3: Mounting the TP2350B chip The TP2350B driver chip can produce some heat, especially if driving MOSFETs with high gate charges and / or at high rail voltages. The chip has a slug on the bottom side that enhances the heat transfer from the chip. The AMP2 PCB has a corresponding area with a number of holes / vias that lead heat from the chip to the back of the PCB.
AMP2-T assembly instructions. © 41Hz Audio / www.41hz.com Revision 1.0T boards Most Zn-PB solder will melt at around 180ºC. The TP2350B chip is tested for soldering for 10 seconds in 260ºC so you have some margin. Subjecting the chip to high temperatures for a prolonged time may damage the chip. The TC2001 chip does not have a heat slug and does not require a heat sink. APPENDIX 4: Connector pinouts • • • Mute jumper; close to awake the amp The V5-agnd must be well stabilized / filtered.
