PAM8320
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.

Functional Block Diagram
Shutdown signal for IC (low=shutdown, high=operational). 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 high on this pin disables the outputs. A low on this pin enables the outputs. TTL logic
levels with compliance to AVCC
