LM1877 Dual Audio Power Amplifier

February 1995

LM1877
Dual Audio Power Amplifier
General Description n Wide supply range, 6V–24V
n Very low cross-over distortion
The LM1877 is a monolithic dual power amplifier designed to
n Low audio band noise
deliver 2W/channel continuous into 8Ω loads. The LM1877 is
designed to operate with a low number of external compo- n AC short circuit protected
nents, and still provide flexibility for use in stereo phono- n Internal thermal shutdown
graphs, tape recorders and AM-FM stereo receivers, etc.
Each power amplifier is biased from a common internal regu- Applications
lator to provide high power supply rejection, and output Q n Multi-channel audio systems
point centering. The LM1877 is internally compensated for
