Description

The PAM8320 is an efficient 20W mono Class-D audio power amplifier, designed to drive speakers as low as 4Ω in a bridge-tiedload configuration. Due to the low power dissipation and high efficiency of up to 95%, the device can be used without any external heat sink whilst playing music. The PAM8320 features short circuit protection, thermal shutdown, over voltage protection and under voltage lock-out. The PAM8320 is available in a SO-16EP package.

Feature(s)

  • Operates from 4.5V to 15V
  • 20W into 4Ω BTL Load from 12V Supply
