PAM8124
Description
The PAM8124 is a 15W efficient, Class-D audio power amplifier for
driving stereo speakers in a single-ended configuration; or a mono
speaker in a bridge-tied-load configuration. The PAM8124 can drive
stereo speakers (SE) as low as 4Ω . Due to the low power dissipation
and high efficiency, up to 95%, the device can be used without any
external heat sink when playing music.
The gain of the amplifier is controlled by 2 gain selectable pins,
offering 20dB, 26dB, 32dB, and 36dB gain selections.
The PAM8124 is available in a TSSOP-24-EP package.

A logic high on this pin disables the outputs. A low on this pin enables the outputs. TTL logic levels with
compliance to AVCC
Internally generated voltage supply for bootstrap. Not to be used as a supply or connected to any
component other than the decoupling capacitor.
A logic low on this pin enables one single-ended input in BTL configuration. A logic high on this pin
enables two inputs in SE/BTL configuration. TTL logic levels with compliance to AVCC
