Description
At 3.3 V, the TS4974 is a dual power audio
amplifier capable of delivering 380 mW of
continuous RMS output power into a 8
Ω
bridged-
tied loads with 1% THD+N. An external standby
mode control reduces the supply current to less
than 2 µA. An internal over-temperature shutdown
protection is provided.
The TS4974 has been designed for high quality
audio applications such as mobile phones and
minimizes the number of external components
necessary.

The TS4974 features 16-step digital volume
control through two discrete Up and Down control
pins. The start-up gain is internally fixed to
-12 dB. An integrated debounce system prevents
voltage spikes on the UP/DOWN pins during
volume control mode from being taken into
account during a debounce time of 10 ms (typ).

1. All voltage values are measured with respect to the ground pin.
2. The magnitude of input signal must never exceed V
CC
+ 0.3 V / GND - 0.3 V.
3. Device is protected in case of over temperature by a thermal shutdown active @ 150° C.
4. Exceeding the power derating curves during a long period, may provoke abnormal operation.
