2.5W STEREO CLASS-D AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH VOLUME CONTROL  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The TMPA208DS is a stereo class-D audio power 
amplifier with volume control. It delivers up to 
2.5W/ch(5W in all) into a 3 ohm load or 2W/ch(4W 
in all) into a 4 ohm load or 1.25W/ch(2.5W in all) 
into an 8 ohm load.  
With differential input structure, TMPA208DS 
features high Common Mode Rejection Ratio and 
Power Supply Rejection Ratio. 
Analog input signal is converted into digital 
output which drives directly to the speaker. High 
power efficiency is achieved due to digital output 
at the load. The audio information is embedded in 
PWM
(
Pulse Width Modulation
)
. 
DC volume control is convenient for LCD 
projectors, LCD monitors, powered speakers, and 
other consumer products especially when using 
remote control.  
APPLICATIONS 
Multimedia application includes Cellular Phones, 
PDAs, DVD/CD players, TFT LCD TVs/Monitors, 
LCD Projectors, 2.1 channel audio systems, 
Powered Speakers, USB audio. It is also ideal for 
other portable devices like Wireless Radios.
