Hi! I've designed a custom audio amplifier for portables that works with both speakers and headphones. It's optimized to have great volume range on a GameCube or Wii.
Note: I'm not selling these anymore, but you can PM me for information if you want to build your own.
Here is the board. Its dimensions are 24mm X 21mm X 1.6mm.
Speaker output power is approximately 2W.
Headphone output power is approximately 150 mW.
Input voltage can be anything from 3v to 5v DC.
Volume is controlled via normally-open buttons on the DN (down) and UP pads. The buttons should have a connection to GND.
Headphones and Speakers
The speakers I've selected are rectangular with dimensions 15mm X 11mm X 3.5mm. These speakers perform the best out of any speakers I have tested, and their size is optimal for small portables. I cannot guarantee the best performance if other speakers are used.
Note: The rims of the speakers need to be touching a flat surface of a case/enclosure for the full sound to be heard. They should be seated tightly to avoid buzzing.
The headphone jack I've selected has one normally-closed sense pin. Other jacks may be used as long as they have a normally-closed sense pin on any of the 3 input pins. Speakers are automatically turned off when headphone output is activated. The amplifier will output to headphones by default if you leave the HPS pad open.
