LM1875 audio power amplifier

Description :

The LM1875 design takes advantage of advanced circuit techniques and processing to achieve extremely low distortion levels even at high output power levels. Other outstanding
features include high gain, fast slew rate and a wide power bandwidth, large output voltage swing, high current capability, and a very wide supply range.

One of the key advantages of the LM1875 is its high output power capability, which makes it suitable for driving large speakers and for use in high-power audio systems. Additionally, its low distortion and wide bandwidth result in high-quality sound reproduction. However, the IC requires a higher supply voltage than some other audio amplifier ICs, which may limit its use in low-voltage applications.

Advantages

1. Deliver up to 20 watts of output power per channel.

2. Simple circuit design that requires only a few external components.

3. Built-in thermal shutdown feature to prevent damage to the IC and connected components.

4. Suitable for high-fidelity audio applications, stereo amplifiers, home theater systems, and active speakers.

5. Built-in thermal shutdown feature that helps to prevent damage to the IC and the connected components.

6. Low distortion, high slew rate, and wide bandwidth, resulting in high-quality sound reproduction.
