PAM8823 Digital Audio Amplifier

The PAM8823 from Diodes Incorporated is a highly efficient, 25 W stereo / 50 W mono Class D digital audio amplifier with I²S input to drive stereo bridge-tied speakers. The device does not require an external heat-sink or fan while playing music at these power levels. The PAM8823 has embedded Audio DSP to support advanced features – such as volume control, 30-band EQs, audio mixing, 3D surround sound and Dynamic Range Control (DRC), and provides a high-quality audio output with flexible digital audio processing capability. These features are fully programmable via a simple I²C control interface, with robust protection circuits to protect the PAM8823 from damage by accidental erroneous operating condition. This audio amplifier is available in a 48-LQFP-EP (7 mm x 7 mm) package.
