designed for car radio applications.
Table 1. Device summary
TDA2005
Multiwatt11
Power booster amplifiers can be easily designed
using this device that provides a high current
capability (up to 3.5 A) and can drive very low
impedance loads (down to 1.6 Ω in stereo
applications) obtaining an output power of more
than 20 W (bridge configuration).
