TDA2030 18W Hi-Fi Audio Power Amplifier IC TO-220-5 Package

The TDA2030 is a monolithic IC in a Pentawatt package intended for use as a low-frequency class-AB amplifier. With VS max = 44 V it is particularly suited for more reliable applications without regulated supply and for 35 W driver circuits using low-cost complementary pairs. The TDA2030 provides high output current and has very low harmonic and crossover distortion. The device incorporates a short-circuit protection system comprising an arrangement for automatically limiting the dissipated power so as to keep the operating point of the output transistors within their safe operating range. A conventional thermal shutdown system is also included.
