The TPA112 MSOP Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module

3.2.1TPA112 Audio Amplifier IC

The TPA112 audio amplifier IC is a CMOS device intended primarily for high-performance line-level output, headphone driver, and small speaker applications. It is supplied in both a SOIC and a very small surface-mount MSOP package and has been designed to operate from low supply voltages (between approximately 2.5 V and 5.5 V) and to deliver up to approximately 150 mW into 8-speakers. As a line-level driver, distortion levels (THD+N) are below 0.02% into 10-kloads across the audio band (20 Hz to 20 kHz). As a headphone driver, distortion levels are below 1% into 32-loads across the audio band. And as a speaker driver, distortion levels are below 2% into 8-loads across the audio band. Typical applications include portable computers, desktop computers, personal audio, toys, games, and similar audio applications.

The IC includes two separate internal amplifiers with onboard short-circuit and over-temperature protection circuits (Figure 3 –4). The load for each channel is connected between the VO pin and GND through a coupling capacitor. For more information, see the TPA112 amplifier IC data sheet, TI Literature Number SLOS212.
