The G1448 is an audio power amplifier that can continuously deliver 1 Watt average power to 8Ω speakers with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) at 5V power supply. Using BTL driving architecture, this audio amplifier can directly drive the speaker load without the large output coupling capacitor. The supply voltage can be as low as 3V, so it is very suitable for mobile phone and other portable electronic devices applications. The G1448 can be unity-gain stable. By changing external RF/RIN resistor ratio, the customers can set the amplifier gain easily. The depopping circuitry is embedded to suppress the power-on or power-off transition noises. Thermal protection circuitry is implemented to avoid unintentionally damaging. To save the power consumption, the G1448 can be deactivated by pulling the shutdown pin low.
