RT9104
3W Stereo Class-D Audio Power Amplifier with DC Volume
Control
General Description
The RT9104 is a stereo, high efficiency, filter free Class-D
audio amplifier capable of delivering 3W per channel into
3Ω speakers. For application flexibility, the gain can be
set by external DC volume control. Thermal protection as
well as overcurrent protection functions are included in
the stereo amplifier. The SOP-16 packaging without
additional heat sink makes the RT9104 Class-D amplifier
an ideal choice for monitor applications. The RT9104 is
also well suited for battery powered applications because
of its operating voltage (from 4.5V to 5.5V) and very low
shutdown current.
The RT9104 is available in WQFN-16L 3x3, SOP-16 and
DIP-16 packages.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
”
may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are for stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated
in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions
for extended periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured in natural convection at T
A
= 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board of
JEDEC 51-7 thermal measurement standard. The measurement case position of
θ

is on the exposed pad of
the package
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
