“PAM8403 based Custom Audio Board for a Future Pi-Gaming Related Project.
Greetings everyone, and welcome back.
Here’s a small audio-based project I prepared for an upcoming Game Boy project.
The PAM8403 Audio Amplifier IC Setup, in addition to a few additional components, drives a 3 ohm speaker on this audio board.
Since the PAM8403 is a 5V device and will short circuit if given more than 5V, we integrated the AMS1117 linear voltage regulator setup. To charge the battery, we have added a con2 port that is connected through a diode, and we can also connect a DC barrel jack to this setup. The battery supply used in this audio board is a 12V Li-ion battery pack.
This audio board essentially serves as a battery power distribution board, charging the battery and supplying other devices with 12V and 5V power from the battery in addition to a separate audio amplifier board for audio output.
This project is about the whole construction of this project, so let’s get started with the build.
