FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
2
• Advanced 32-Steps DC Volume Control
– Steps from –40 to 18 dB
The TPA6013A4 is a stereo audio power amplifier
that drives 3 W/channel of continuous RMS power
– Fade Mode
into a 3-Ω load. Advanced dc volume control
– Maximum Volume Setting for SE Mode
minimizes external components and allows BTL
– Adjustable SE Volume Control
(speaker) volume control and SE (headphone)
Referenced to BTL Volume Control volume control. Notebook and pocket PCs benefit
from the integrated feature set that minimizes
• 3 W Into 3-Ω Speakers
external components without sacrificing functionality.
• Stereo Input MUX
To simplify design, the speaker volume level is
• Headphone Mode
adjusted by applying a dc voltage to the VOLUME
• Pin-to-pin compatible with TPA6011A4 and
terminal. Likewise, the delta between speaker volume
TPA6012A4
and headphone volume can be adjusted by applying
a dc voltage to the SEDIFF terminal. To avoid an
• 24-pin PowerPAD™ Package (PWP)
unexpected high volume level through the
headphones, a third terminal, SEMAX, limits the
APPLICATIONS
headphone volume level when a dc voltage is
• Notebook PC
applied. Finally, to ensure a smooth transition
• LCD Monitors
between active and shutdown modes, a fade mode
• Pocket PC
ramps the volume up and down.
