ORDERING NUMBER: TDA7370
DESCRIPTION
The TDA7370 is a newtechnologyclass AB quad
channelsAudioPower Amplifier in Multiwattpackage designed for carradio applications.
Thanks to the fully complementaryPNP/NPNoutput configuration the high power performances of
the TDA7370 are obtained without bootstrap capacitors.
