FEATURES • Flexibility in use • Few external components • Low saturation voltage of output stage • Gain can be fixed with external resistors • Standby mode controlled by CMOS compatible levels • 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 the load GENERAL DESCRIPTION The TDA8542AT is a two channel audio power amplifier for an output power of 2 × 1.5 W with an 8 Ω load at a 6 V supply. The circuit contains two Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifiers with a complementary PNP-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8542AT comes in a 20-pin SO package. APPLICATIONS • Portable consumer products • Personal computers • Motor-driver (servo).
