The LM2879 is a monolithic dual power amplifier which offers high quality performance for stereo phonographs, tape
players, recorders, AM-FM stereo receivers, etc.
The LM2879 will deliver 8W/channel to an 8X load. The

amplifier is designed to operate with a minimum of external
components and contains an internal bias regulator to bias
each amplifier. Device overload protection consists of both
internal current limit and thermal shutdown.

Note 1: The input voltage range is normally limited tog0.7V with respect to pin 1. This range may be extended by shorting pin 1 to the positive supply.
Note 2: For operation at ambient temperature greater than 25
