1. General description

The TDA8566 is an integrated class-B output amplifier which is available in several
packages. TDA8566TH is contained in a 20-lead small outline plastic package. The
TDA8566TH1 is a 24-lead small outline plastic package which is pin compatible with the
I2C-bus controlled amplifier TDA1566TH for one board layout. TDA8566Q is a 17-pin
DIL-bent-SIL package.
The device contains 2amplifiers in a Br idge-Tied Load (BTL) configuration. The output
power is 2 ×25 W in a 4 load or 2 ×40 W in a 2 load. It has a differential input stage
and 2 diagnostic outputs. The device is primarily developed for car radio applications.
