GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8552T is a two channel audio power amplifier that provides an output power of 2 × 1.4 W into an 8 Ω load using a 5 V power supply. The circuit contains two BTL power amplifiers, two digital volume controls and standby/mute logic. Volume and balance of the amplifiers are controlled using two digital input pins which can be driven by simple push-buttons or by a microcontroller.

FEATURES
• One pin digital volume control (for each channel)
• Volume setting with up/down pulses
• Auto repeat function on volume setting
• Headphone sensing
• Maximum gain set by selection pin
• Low sensitivity for EMC radiation
• Internal feedback resistors
• 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, VDD and across the load
• Thermally protected.

APPLICATIONS
• Portable consumer products
• Notebook computers
• Communication equipment.
