PAM8902A
30-V
PP
MONO CLASS-D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
for PIEZO/CERAMIC SPEAKERS with ANTI-SATURATION/CLIPPING
Description
The PAM8902A is a mono, Class-D audio amplifier with integrated
boost converter designed for piezo and ceramic speakers. The
PAM8902A is capable for driving a ceramic/piezo speaker with 30V
PP
(10.6V
RMS
) from a 3.6V power supply. The boost converter operates
at a fixed frequency of 1.5MHz and provides a 17.5V supply with a
minimum number of external components.
The PAM8902A provide three fixed-gain settings of 18dB, 22dB, and
26dB. PAM's anti-saturation technology detects if the input has been
over-driven and automatically decreases the gain to prevent the
output signal from clipping. To improve fidelity, an integrated low-
pass filter rejects any high-frequency noise. The PAM8902A also
includes thermal, current limiting, under-voltage lockout, and over-
voltage protection circuitry.
Package options include a 1.95mm x 1.95mm CSP and a 4mm x
4mm QFN.
