Note 1: Install the device correctly. Otherwise, the device or system may be degraded, damaged or even destroyed.
Note 2: The protection features are intended to avoid output short-circuits or other abnormal conditions temporarily. It
is not guaranteed that they will prevent the IC from being damaged.
Exposure to conditions beyond the guaranteed operating ranges may not activate the protection features,
resulting in an IC damage due to output short-circuits.
Note 3: The protection circuit may malfunction depending on the connected speaker type due to a phase shift. The
operation of the device should therefore be verified by actually connecting a speaker to its outputs. It is not
recommended to connect a 2-ohm load such as a subwoofer that induces a significant phase shift, and that
special care should be taken in such cases.

Detailed Description
1. Standby Switch
(pin 4)
The power supply can be turned on or off via
pin 4 (Stby). The threshold voltage of pin 4 is
set at about 3 V
BE
(typ.). The power supply
current is about 0.01
μA
(typ.) in the standby
state.

can be directly turned on or off by a microcontroller, eliminating the need for a switching relay.
Since the control current is minuscule, a low-current-rated switching relay can be used.

2. Mute Function
(pin 22)
The audio mute function is enabled by setting pin 22 Low. R
1
and C
4
determine the time constant of the
mute function. The time constant affects pop noise generated when power or the mute function is turned on
or off; thus, it must be determined on a per-application basis. (Refer to Figures 3 and 4.)
The value of the external pull-up resistor is determined, based on pop noise value.
For example, when the control voltage is changed from 5 V to 3.3 V, the pull-up resistor should be:

3. High-Side Switch
Pin 25 of this device is used as a high-side switch to a V
CC
power supply, which is interlocked with a standby
pin. Thus, the power amplifier IC and the connected external unit (such as the hideaway unit) can be
simultaneously turned on or off by using the standby switch.
