Really great video. I'm working on building my own. Mostly standard configuration but with some minor changes to start, more in the future as this will be my first board. I may have missed it from the video, but what was the power rating and impedance of your speaker choice? Default here is 4 ohm 50W per channel, which is what I'm going to use.

Great video !...cheers.

Nice video! One remark on decoupling capacitors: you recommend having their own via to the ground plane. Note that the via has quite high inductance. If possible, connect the decoupling directly to the ic on the same layer for both voltage and ground. And be really careful with copper pours on the signal layer. Many people just fill the top layer and make many antennas. Only make them where needed as guards and make sure stitching is done right. The high frequencies in modern ICs are not forgiving like they used to be.

Interesting points and good point on the decoupling ground return, thanks.

Damn man, nice videographics in the end, really good short consise explaining of PCB layout and overall nice video! I hope you get tons of more subscribers. As a soon to be starting youtuber i aspire to make videos half as good as yours and im happy!

Interesting video. Ran into your channel while researching ho to make/build diy bluetooth speaker. You are the first one that I've seen, ever, to use & take advantage of the touch feature, that seems to be everywhere now. Do you have a link for the touch control board? Thanks & HNY

Thanks for watching, yeh it was a fun board to develop as there's lot to learn about capacitive touch. I don't have a link to the board for now but I will be updating my website at some point with plans and such for sale. HNY to you too!

Hello brother please help me !!!!!!!!! I have a TPA3255 IC and I want to make a pcb for it But in the datasheet of the IC has not shown the full diagram to make a Circuit For example pin number 18 is for reset but there has not shown how to connect to the circuit Please provide me the full diagram of TPA3255 IC ....

great video, what software did you use for the circuit schematic? I am looking to design my own class D amplifier using the TPA3116 but unable to find the component on the software I am using (multisim).

I used KiCAD, I have a tutorial on the Channel but sometimes you have to make the component footprints yourself as it won't have all of them.

gerber files please

You have a video of how you got started in acoustics? what’s yours background

My acoustic/electronics background is mostly self taught. I did design engineering at university but learnt electronics whilst designing the amplifier through KZread videos and the documents shared in the description!

Cool video but too technical for me😂 I was just r try ting to roll op amps

Thanks, DIY Audio is a good forum for specific questions.

So you started with very limited knowledge of electronics and now did a presentation at the niveau of a senior electrical engineer? Just wow!

Thanks man! Just shows there’s so much info out there to help us learn for free these days

I disagree with your definition of "bootstrap capacitors". Maybe you think the real answer is too long winded? Short: It is basically a replacement for a high(er) voltage supply rail that enables the use of n-type fet's on the high voltage side switcher position. Longer: It is essentially a very practical way of building a "charge pump dc-dc converter". It is not a feedback signal to increase amplification per se, it's a solution to a problem that appears when chosing the best (most common) type of transistors. P-type fet's are just not as cheap, efficient, sturdy and prolific as n-type fet's, there is an esoteric physics reason to why that is, but explaining that needs text, graphics and a whole different level of video. The bootstrap cap solution can be replaced by additional (low power) voltage rails.
