G1438
Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc.
2W Stereo Audio Amplifier with DC Volume
Control and Selectable Gain
Features
General Description
0dB ~-78dB Internal DC Volume Gain Setting
The G1438 is a stereo audio power amplifier in both
28pin TSSOP and TQFN thermal pad package. It can
deliver 2.0W continuous RMS power into 4Ω load per
channel in Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) mode at 5V supply
voltage. Its THD is smaller than 1% under the above
operation condition. To simplify the audio system de-
sign in the notebook application, G1438 supports the
Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) mode for driving the speakers,
Single-End (SE) mode for driving the headphone. For
the low current consumption applications, the Shut-
down mode is supported to disable the G1438 when it
is idle. The current consumption can be reduced below
2µA.

The internal DC volume gain setting is ranged from
0dB to -78dB. We can activate the internal DC volume
control by setting the Mode pin high, and setting the
Vol value to get the expected DC volume gain.
Applications
Stereo Power Amplifiers for Notebooks or
Desktop Computers
The G1438 is with the flexible for the user to select the
internal embedded gain setting or external gains
through the gain_sel pin. Setting the gain_sel pin low
is to activate the internal gain settings, setting high for
external gains.
