GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM22113 is a high performance audio amplifier that
delivers 1 W rms of low distortion audio power into a bridgeconnected 8 Ω speaker load (or 1.5 W rms into 4 Ω load). It
operates over a wide temperature range and is specified for
single-supply voltages between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. When operating from batteries, it continues to operate down to 1.75 V.
This makes the SSM2211 the best choice for unregulated
applications, such as toys and games. Featuring a 4 MHz
bandwidth and distortion below 0.2% THD @ 1 W, superior
performance is delivered at higher power or lower speaker
load impedance than competitive units.
The low differential dc output voltage results in negligible
losses in the speaker winding, and makes high value dc
blocking capacitors unnecessary. Battery life is extended by
using shutdown mode, which typically reduces quiescent
current drain to 100 nA.

The SSM2211 is designed to operate over the −20°C to +85°C
temperature range. The SSM2211 is available in SOIC-8 and
LFCSP (lead frame chip scale) surface mount packages. The
advanced mechanical packaging of the SSM2211CP ensures
lower chip temperature and enhanced performance relative to
standard packaging options.
Applications include personal portable computers, hands-free
telephones and transceivers, talking toys, intercom systems, and
other low voltage audio systems requiring 1 W output power.

For the LFCSP, θJA is measured with exposed lead frame soldered to the
printed circuit board.

For the SOIC, θJA is measured with the device soldered to a 4-layer printed
circuit board.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; the functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
