GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8542TS is a two channel audio power amplifier for an output power of 2×0.7 W with a 16Ωload at a 5 V supply. At a low supply voltage of 3.3 V an output power of 0.6 W with an 8Ωload can be obtained. The circuit contains two Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifiers with a complementary PNP-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8542TS is available in a SSOP20 package.

FEATURES

• Low standby current
• No switch-on/switch-off plops
• High supply voltage ripple rejection
• Protected against electrostatic discharge
• Outputs short-circuit safe to ground, VCC and across theload
• Thermally protected.
