Functional Description
1
RB
Prevents currents from entering the amplifier’s non-inverting input which may be passed through to the
load upon power down of the system due to the low input impedance of the circuitry when the
undervoltage circuitry is off. This phenomenon occurs when the supply voltages are below 1.5V.

Ri
Rf
Inverting input resistance to provide AC gain in conjunction with Rf.
Feedback resistance to provide AC gain in conjunction with Ri.
=
Ci
Feedback capacitor which ensures unity gain at DC. Also creates a highpass filter with Ri at fC
(Note 14)
1/(2πRiCi).

CS
Provides power supply filtering and bypassing. Refer to the Supply Bypassing application section for
proper placement and selection of bypass capacitors.
RV
Acts as a volume control by setting the input voltage level.

RIN
Sets the amplifier’s input terminals DC bias point when CIN is present in the circuit. Also works with CIN to

(Note 14)
create a highpass filter at fC 1/(2πRINCIN). Refer to Figure 4.
8
CIN
(Note 14)
Input capacitor which blocks the input signal’s DC offsets from being passed onto the amplifier’s inputs.
Works with CSN to stabilize the output stage by creating a pole that reduces high frequency instabilities.
Works with RSN to stabilize the output stage by creating a pole that reduces high frequency instabilities.

CSN
=
(Note 14)
The pole is set at fC 1/(2πRSNCSN). Refer to Figure 4.

12
L (Note 14)
Provides high impedance at high frequencies so that R may decouple a highly capacitive load and reduce
the Q of the series resonant circuit. Also provides a low impedance at low frequencies to short out R and
pass audio signals to the load. Refer to Figure 4.

RA
CA
Provides DC voltage biasing for the transistor Q1 in single supply operation.
Provides bias filtering for single supply operation.
RINP
Limits the voltage difference between the amplifier’s inputs for single supply operation. Refer to the Clicks

RE
Establishes a fixed DC current for the transistor Q1 in single supply operation. This resistor stabilizes the
half-supply point along with CA.
