UTC KA8602 LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
LOW VOLTAGE AUDIO POWER
AMPLIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The UTC KA8602 is the audio power amplifier
available for low voltage. The UTC KA8602 supplies
differential outputs for maximizing output swing at low
voltages. The UTC KA8602 does not need coupling
capacitors to the speaker. The gain of this amplifier is
controlled easily by two external resistors.
FEATURES
*Wide operating supply voltage: Vcc=2V~16V
*Low quiescent supply current( Icc=2.7mA, typ)
*Medium output power( Po=250mW at Vcc=6V,
RL=32ohm, THD=10%
*Load impedance range: 8~100ohm
*Mute function (Icc=65µA, typ)
*Minimum number of external parts required.
*Low distortion

provides 52dB( typ) of power supply rejection. Turn-on time of the circuit is affected by the
capacitor on this pin. This pin can be used as an alternative input.
The feedback resistor is connected between this pin and output 1.
DC level is about (Vcc~0.7V)/2.
logic “LOW” (less than 0.8V), the IC is enabled for normal operation. When at a logic “HIGH” (2V to
Vcc), the IC is disabled. If Mute is open, that is equivalent to a logic “LOW”.
A capacitor at this pin increase power supply rejection, and affects turn-on time. This pin can be
left open if the capacitor at pin 1 is sufficient.
