NTE1232 Integrated Circuit Audio Amplifier for Car Radio, 8W Description: The NTE1232 is a Class B audio amplifier in a 5–Lead TO220 type package designed for driving low impedance loads (down to 1.6Ω). This device provides a high output current capability (up to 3.5A), very low harmonic and cross–over distortion. Features: D Low Number of External Components D No Electrical Insulation Requirement D Space and Cost Saving D High Reliability D Flexibility in Use D Complete Safety During Operation due to Protection Against: Short Circuit Thermal Over Range Fortuitous Open Ground Polarity Inversion (Vs = 12V Max) Load Dump Voltage Surge Absolute Maximum Ratings; Peak Supply Voltage (50ms), Vs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40V DC Supply Voltage, Vs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28V Operating Supply Voltage, Vs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18V Output Peak Current, Io Repetitive . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.5A Non–Repetitive . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.5A Power Dissipation (TC = +90°C), Ptot . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15W Operating Junction Temperature Range, TJ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –40° to +150°C Storage Temperature Range, Tstg . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . –40° to +150°C Thermal Resistance, Junction–to–Case, RthJC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4°C/W max Electrical Characteristics: (VS = 14.4V, TA = +25°C unless otherwise specified) Parameter Symbol Test Conditions Min Typ Max Unit DC Characteristics Supply Voltage Vs 8 – 18 V Quiescent Output Voltage (Pin4) Vo 6.4 7.2 8.0 V Quiescent Drain Current (Pin5) Id – 45 80 mA RL = 4Ω 4.8 5.2 – W RL = 2Ω 7.0 8.0 – W Vs = 16V, d = 10%, f = 1kHz RL = 4Ω – 6.5 – W RL = 2Ω – 10 – W 600 – – mV RL = 4Ω – 15 – mV RL = 2Ω – 11 – mV f = 1kHz, Po = 5.2W, RL = 4Ω – 55 – mV f = 1kHz, Po = 8W, RL = 2Ω – 50 – mV AC Characteristics (GV = 40dB) Output Power Input Saturation Voltage Input Sensitivity Po d = 10%, f = 1kHz Vi(rms) Vi f = 1kHz, Po = 0.5W Frequency Response (–3dB) B RL = 4Ω, Po = 1W 40 to 15,000 Hz Distortion d f = 1kHz, Po = 0.05 to 3.5W, RL = 4Ω – 0.2 – % f = 1kHz, Po = 0.05 to 5W, RL = 2Ω – 0.2 – % Input Resistance (Pin1) Ri f = 1kHz 70 150 – kΩ Voltage Gain (Open Loop) GV f = 1kHz, RL = 4Ω – 80 – dB Voltage Gain (Closed Loop) GV f = 1kHz, RL = 4Ω Input Noise Voltage eN Note 1 – 4 – µV Input Noise Current iN Note 1 – 60 – pA Efficiency η Po = 5.2W, RL = 4Ω – 68 – % Po = 8W, RL = 2Ω – 58 – % RL = 4Ω, Rg = 10kΩ, fripple = 100Hz 30 35 – dB Supply Voltage Rejection SVR Note 1.
