LM3886 servo

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LF412, LM3886

I am making BPA200 based on An1192. Can I use IN4148 and LF412 for making the dc servo.? IN456 diode is not available here.

Kindly suggest some diodes which can be used in place of IN456A.

Thanks and regards,

  • Hi Sumesh.

    The BPA200 based on AN1192 uses Small Signal Diodes like the 1N456A. I recommend the use of this type of Diodes; 1N4149 and 1N458A could be used in place of 1N456A.

    Regarding the amplifier, I strongly recommend to use an Audio Power Amplifier such the LM3886 or similar if possible for making the dc servo.

  • Thank you Sir,

    I wish to use the servo for single ended configuration also. Can I use the same component values give in AN1192 ?

    Thanks and regards,

  • Hi Sumesh,

    Yes, you can use the same component values. Actually, in chapter 7.2.2 (Servo Circuits) of AN1192 you can verify the component values of a Non-Inverting Servo Amplifier Configuration and an Inverting Servo Amplifier Configuration (figures 14 and 15). Both circuits have a single ended configuration.

    For more details about the components see the chapter 8.3 (Build of Materials for BPA200 Amplifier) and check the description of each component.

    Best regards,
