PLANO, Texas -- (Business Wire)
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and
supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within
the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor
markets, today announced the PAM8106. This 10W stereo Class-D audio
amplifier features low THD+N, low EMI, and high PSRR, while integrating
spread-spectrum modulation (SSM) and non-clipping power limit (NCPL)
technology to deliver advanced features for a range of battery- or
line-powered devices including LCD TVs, wireless speakers, portable
stereos, and game machines.
The PAM8106 operates from a wide input voltage range (4.5V to 15V) and
is capable of driving both 8Ω and 4Ω speakers, which are popular in
portable speaker applications. Its high efficiency of up to 92%
minimizes heat generation, removing the need to for heat-sink hence
avoiding the cost, weight and space associated with adding a heat-sink
in the final application. With a low quiescent current of just 15mA, the
PAM8106 is well-suited for Li+ or alkaline battery-driven portable
speakers, enabling longer audio enjoyment with better sound quality.
As a result of its advanced EMI suppression, achieved through the
integration of SSM technology, audio devices based on the PAM8106 can
avoid the need for expensive filters on the audio outputs and instead
use inexpensive ferrite bead filters, delivering further system cost
reductions while still meeting EMC requirements.
The PAM8106 also features NCPL technology, which automatically adjusts
the gain to eliminate clipping at the output signal due to high-level
input signals. The PAM8106 also offers low THD+N to provide further
speaker protection. Additional protection integrated into the device
protects against faults caused by short circuits, and thermal shutdown,
undervoltage and DC input protection is also integrated.
The PAM8106 is available in a QFN5x5-32L package; further information is
available at www.diodes.com.
