Description
The STK433-870-E is 60W×4 channels class-AB audio frequency power amplifier hybrid IC.
A Class AB audio power IC refers to an integrated circuit (IC) that is designed to amplify audio signals in a Class AB amplifier configuration. Class AB amplifiers are commonly used in audio applications where a balance is sought between efficiency and audio quality.
In a Class AB amplifier, the output stage consists of two active devices: a pair of complementary transistors, usually one NPN and one PNP transistor. These transistors work together to amplify the audio signal. The Class AB configuration combines features of both Class A and Class B amplifiers to provide better efficiency and reduced distortion.
The Class AB amplifier operates in such a way that one transistor conducts the positive half of the audio signal waveform, while the other transistor conducts the negative half. This allows for improved efficiency compared to a pure Class A amplifier, as both transistors are not conducting simultaneously, reducing power dissipation. However, since there is a small overlap in the conduction regions of the transistors, it helps to minimize the crossover distortion that can be present in pure Class B amplifiers.
Features:
• Pin-to-pin compatible outputs ranging from 60W to 80W
• Can be used to replace the STK433-000/-100 series (30W to 150W/2ch/class-AB), STK415-100Series (80W to 150W/2ch/class H) due to its pin compatibility of ch1/ch2.
