A range of audio power amplifiers with output powers.
These versatile devices form the basic building blocks
for constructing high quality amplifiers using a mini-
mum of additional components.

LM380
An audio power amplifier with a fixed gain of 50
(34dB). The input stage allows inputs to be ground ref-
erenced or ac coupled as required and the output is
automatically centred at one half of the supply voltage.
The device is protected with both current limiting and
thermal shutdown circuity and is housed in a 14 pin
DIL package.

Note: Non-inv i/p is connected internally to GND via 150 kΩ resistor.

TDA 2004
The RS TDA 2004 is a Class B, dual, audio power Heatsink tab connected to GND (Pin 6)
amplifier in an 11 lead tab mounting plastic package.
Each amplifier is capable of delivering up to 9W into a
4Ω load (17V supply, THD 10%). The two amplifiers
may be operated as a stereo pair or connected in a
bridge connection to increase power output to four
times the power available in a single ended mode.
Built-in short circuit protection, thermal shut down and
safe operating area limiting are included to increase
device reliability. A ready made printed circuit board
is available under RS stock no. 434-598 which can
accommodate either the stereo amplifier circuit or
bridge amplifier as shown in Figures 18 and 19 respec-
tively.
