PAM8403 Summary: PAM8403 is a Class D audio power amplifier IC with an output power of 3W,
PAM8403 has the characteristics of low harmonic distortion and low noise crosstalk, which enables it to achieve good sound quality in sound playback. By adopting a new architecture with no coupling output and no low-pass filtering circuit, it can directly drive the speaker, reducing the overall cost and PCB space occupation of the solution.
Under the same number of peripheral components, the D-class amplifier IC PAM8403 has much better efficiency than the A-class amplifier, which extends the battery life and is an ideal choice for portable devices such as laptops.PAM8403 Feature:Class-D amplifier without filter, low static current and low EMI;
Provide up to 3W output power under 4 Ω load and 5V power supply conditions;
Up to 90% efficiency;
Low THD, low noise;
Short circuit current protection;
