Guitar Amplifier with Bluetooth Input Team I: Nick Seliga, Robert Stanton, AmerDalaq, and Logan Sammons
Block Diagram and Work Breakdown Structure • Battery – Robert • Preamp – Nick • Amplifier – Amer • Bluetooth - Logan
Project Milestones • Design working on a breadboard • Design completed and functional on a prototype PCB • Fully completed functional prototype
Why Bluetooth? Allows the customer to stream music over the portable amplifier’s speakers, resulting in the ability to play over the streamed track.
Signal Flow • From Handheld Device (Cell Phone, iPod, MP3 Player) • Through RN-52 Bluetooth Device • Out to Amplifier to be Mixed With Input Guitar Signal
Bluetooth Features • Operating Frequency 2.4 – 2.48 GHz • Maximum Data Rate 3 Mbps (Typically mp3 is 256 Kbps) • Operation Range 10 m or 32.81 ft. • Supply Voltage 3.0V to 3.6 V • Working Current 30 mA • Standby Current 0.5 mA • Ability to be programmed using UART through micro-USB • Firmware upgrade ability using micro-USB • Volume Control with potentiometer connected to output of Bluetooth module before amplifier • Ability to tell whether Bluetooth module is connected using blue LED (Blinking when able to connect & Off when connected)
Testing Bluetooth • Test manufacturer’s specifications on range of operation. • Test functionality of all programmed inputs/outputs. • Test built in protection for interference in operating frequency range (Wifi). • Test quality of output signal before amplifier to insure no noise introduced by potentiometer volume control. • Test amp draw of circuit when streaming audio to amplifier as well as when in standby mode for battery efficiency considerations. • Select value of potentiometer so that range of volume is maximized from high resistance to low resistance.
Guitar Preamp • Responsible for shaping the sound of the guitar portion of the amplifier • Uses 3 potentiometers for tone, gain, and volume control • High input impedance, which guitar pickups are intended to feed • Operates on 5 V
Preamp Schematic • Fairchild Semiconductor MMBFJ201 n-channel JFET • Texas Instruments LME49740 high performance, high fidelity audio op-amp; other channels to be used as summing amplifiers
Power Amplifier (MAX9710) • Will use summing amplifiers (LME49740) to combine the Bluetooth signal and the guitar signal • Stereo amplifier and summing amplifier operates at a range of ~5 V • Output ~2.6 W for each 4 Ω load (speaker) • Built-in thermal load protection • When the junction temperature reaches 160⁰ C, the amplifier output stage is disabled until the temperature cools by 15⁰ C. • Has low harmonic distortion of 0.01% • Low-Distortion amplification of the audio signal
Power Amplifier Testing • Power amplifier will be constructed on its own testing board • Circuit will be built on a bread board with components • Circuit will then be connected with the preamp stage and test if the guitar signal works and sounds good • Measure the output current and voltage to make sure the right output is being achieved
Batteries and Protection Circuit • Two Lithium Batteries in Series • Tenergy 2200 mAh 51mm x 50.5mm • Overcharge, Undercharge and Overcurrent protection from S-8242 IC • N channel MOSFETs provide S-8242 ability to control battery protection • Over/under voltage preset by IC and can be varied slightly by R1 and R7 • Overcurrent limit set by Rt8 and R7
AC Adapter and ESD Protection • Common 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm DC Power Jack • Zener diode with 20 V breakdown voltage
Distribution • MCP 16321 provides efficient and precise voltage regulation for Amplifier Section • Provides lower secondary overcurrent and under voltage protection • Provides over temperature protection • Voltage Divider and BJT provide voltage regulation for Bluetooth’s 30 mA load
Battery Level Indicator • VCO detects battery voltage and controls LED • Vbatt > 6.6 V, VCO will have frequency > ~17 Hz • Vbatt < 6.6 V, VCO will have frequency < ~17 Hz • Vbatt ~= 6.1 V, VCO frequency ~= 1 Hz
