NAU8224
3.1W Stereo Filter-Free Class-D Audio Amplifier
with 2 wire interface gain control
1
Description
The NAU8224 is a stereo high efficiency filter-free Class-D audio amplifier, which is capable of driving a 4 load with
up to 3.1W output power. This device provides chip enable pin with extremely low standby current and fast start-up time
of 3.4ms. The NAU8224 features a highly flexible 2 wire interface with many useful gain settings. The gain can be
selected from 24dB to -62dB (plus mute) by using 2 wire interface and GS pin.
The NAU8224 is ideal for the portable applications of battery drive, as it has advanced features like 87dB PSRR, 91%
efficiency, ultra low quiescent current (i.e. 2.1mA at 3.7V for 2 channels) and superior EMI performance. It has the
ability to configure the inputs in either single-ended or differential mode. NAU8224 is available in Miniature QFN-20
package.
