PRECAUTION FOR APPLICATION
1. Input stage (Figure 1)
The input stage of power amplifier is comprised of a PNP differential pair( Q2 and Q3) preceded by a PNP emitter
follower(Q1) which allows DC referencing of the source signal to GND. This eliminates the need for an input coupling
capacitor. However, in case the brush noise of volume becomes a problem, provide serially a coupling capacitor to
the input side.
2. Adjustment of the voltage gain (figure 2)
The voltage gain is fixed at Gv=40dB by the resistors( R4 and R5) in IC. Its reduction is possible through adding Rf as
shown in Figure 2. In this case, the voltage gain is obtained by the following equation: Gv=20log(R5+R4+Rf)/(R4+Rf).
It is recommended to use this IC with the voltage gain of Gv=28dB or over.
