TPA6021A4
SLOS465 – JUNE 2005
The TPA6021A4 is a stereo audio power amplifier
that drives 2 W/channel of continuous RMS power
into a 4- Ω load when utilizing a heat sink. Advanced
dc volume control minimizes external components
and allows BTL (speaker) volume control and SE
(headphone) volume control.
The 20-pin DIP package allows for the use of a
heatsink which provides higher output power.
To ensure a smooth transition between active and
shutdown modes, a fade mode ramps the volume up
and down.
PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.
