The TPA6012A4 is a stereo audio power amplifier
that drives 3 W/channel of continuous RMS power
into
a 3-Ω load. Advanced dc volume control
–85-dB Mute Mode
minimizes external components and allows BTL
(speaker) volume control and SE (headphone)
volume control. LCD monitors and notebook benefit
from the integrated feature set that minimizes
external components without sacrificing functionality.

Pin-to-Pin Compatible With TPA6011A4 and
TPA6013A4
To simplify design, the speaker volume level is
adjusted by applying a dc voltage to the VOLUME
terminal. To ensure a smooth transition between
active and shutdown modes, a fade mode ramps the
volume up and down.
