GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8542(T) is a two channel audio power amplifier for an output power of 2×1 W with an 8Ωload at a 5 V supply. The circuit contains two BTL amplifiers with a complementary PNP-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8542T comes in a 16 pin SO package and the TDA8542 in a 16 pin DIP package.

FEATURES
• Flexibility in use
• Few external components
• Low saturation voltage of output stage
• Gain can be fixed with external resistors
• Standby mode controlled by CMOS compatible levels
• Low standby current
• No switch-on/switch-off plops
• High supply voltage ripple rejection
• Protected against electrostatic discharge
• Outputs short-circuit safe to ground, VCC and across the load
• Thermally protected.
