FEATURES • One pin digital volume control • Volume setting with UP/DOWN pulses • Flexibility in use • Few external components • Low saturation voltage of output stage • 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, VP and across the load • Thermally protected. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The TDA8551; TDA8551T is a one channel 1 W Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) audio power amplifier capable of delivering 1 W output power to an 8 Ω load at THD = 10% using a 5 V power supply. The circuit contains a BTL power amplifier, a digital volume control and standby/mute logic. The TDA8551T comes in an 8 pin SO package and the TDA8551 in a 8 pin DIP package. APPLICATIONS • Portable consumer products • Personal computers • Telephony.
