Key Features
- 2 W + 2 W stereo output power into 8-ohm loads enabling speaker-level audio output from a single-supply rail
- DC voltage-controlled volume adjustment allowing volume control with a simple analog DC voltage without a digital potentiometer
- Integrated standby mode reducing quiescent current when audio is muted for energy-efficient consumer device designs
- Through-hole DIP package enabling simple breadboard prototyping and low-cost manual assembly in consumer audio applications
Applications
The E-TDA7496L is suited for low-power consumer audio applications including portable radios, clock radios, intercom systems, and multimedia speaker sets where 2 W per channel output into 8-ohm speakers is sufficient. The DC volume control input simplifies integration with microcontroller-based DAC outputs or potentiometer-driven volume knobs without requiring a digital audio bus. Its single-supply operation and integrated standby mode make it a practical choice for battery-powered or cost-sensitive audio products.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output power does the E-TDA7496L deliver and what speaker impedance is it optimized for?
The E-TDA7496L delivers 2 W per channel into 8-ohm speaker loads in stereo configuration, providing a total of 4 W of audio output power. This power level is sufficient for close-field consumer speakers, desk-top multimedia systems, and portable radio applications where compact speaker drivers in the 3-inch to 4-inch range are used at moderate listening volumes.
How does the DC volume control feature of the E-TDA7496L simplify audio system design?
The E-TDA7496L accepts a DC voltage on its volume control pin to adjust the audio gain continuously from minimum to maximum, replacing the need for a digital potentiometer or I2C-controlled volume IC. A simple resistor divider from a 5 V rail or a microcontroller PWM output filtered to DC can drive this pin, reducing the BOM and firmware complexity in cost-sensitive consumer audio products.
What is the supply voltage range for the E-TDA7496L and does it support single-supply operation?
The E-TDA7496L is designed for single-supply operation, typically from a 5 V to 18 V DC rail, and does not require a split or dual supply to deliver its 2 W + 2 W stereo output into 8-ohm loads. This single-supply architecture simplifies the power design significantly, allowing the amplifier to be powered directly from a standard 5 V USB supply or a 9 V battery-backed regulator in portable audio devices.
What package does the E-TDA7496L use and how does it benefit low-volume audio product assembly?
The E-TDA7496L is housed in a through-hole DIP package with standard 2.54 mm pin pitch, which allows it to be inserted directly into a DIP socket or soldered to a through-hole PCB without SMD reflow equipment. For low-volume production runs of fewer than 1000 units or prototype builds, this through-hole assembly approach reduces tooling cost and allows easy component replacement if the 2 W + 2 W amplifier stage needs servicing.
