Product Description
The LA4440 / CD4440 is a versatile power amplifier that offers two distinct modes of operation. In Stereo Mode, it delivers a clean 6W per channel, perfect for small desktop speakers. In Bridge Mode (BTL), the two internal amplifiers work together to deliver a powerful 19W mono output, capable of driving larger subwoofers or PA speakers. The IC features a unique built-in audio muting function and comprehensive protection circuitry, including thermal shutdown and pin-to-pin short protection, ensuring long-term durability even under heavy use.
Key Features
Dual Operation Modes: Easily switch between a 2-channel stereo setup and a high-power mono bridge configuration.
Low External Component Count: Requires very few capacitors and resistors to create a fully functional amplifier circuit.
Small "Pop" Noise: Specially designed to minimize the annoying clicking or popping sound when the power is turned on or off.
Excellent Channel Separation: Maintains clear distinction between left and right audio signals with minimal crosstalk.
Robust SIP-14 Package: The single in-line layout is easy to mount to a heat sink and solder into single-sided PCBs.
