NTE1530 Integrated Circuit Audio Power Amp w/ALC, 450mW Description: The NTE1530 is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit designed for audio power amplifier applications at a 6 volt power supply. This device contains a high gain low noise preamplifier, an automatic level control (ALC) and a high gain low distortion power amplifier which makes this device the perfect audio circuit for use in cassette tape recorders. Features: D All functions of a preamplifier, an ALC circuit and a power amplifier are encapsualated in a 14−Lead DIP package with heat sink TAB. D Low noise, especially low pulsive noise D Power amplifier stage has high gain, high output power and low distortion characteristics. D Preamplifier stage has high gain and low distortion characteristics. D Wide ALC range: output voltage change 1.8V TYP., ALC range 60dB TYP. D Low spurious radiation when driven to output clipping level.
