The TPA302 is a stereo audio power amplifier specifically designed to drive 32 headphones and small 8 unpowered speakers. The TPA302 is capable of delivering 250 mW of continuous average power into an 8 load at 0.06% THD+N or up to 300 mW at 1% THD+N. For headphone applications, the TPA302 delivers 60 mW of continuous average power with less than 0.06% THD+N.

The TPA302 requires only 5 mA (Max) of supply current. It offers shutdown control for extending battery life. In shutdown mode the supply current is less than 1 µA and along with 5 V and 3.3 V operation, make the device ideal for battery powered low voltage applications. The TPA302 also provides internal short circuit and thermal protection.

In notebook computer applications, the designer now has a complete stereo audio solution available from Texas Instruments. The TPA302, along with the TPA4860 and TPA4861, offers stereo speaker and headphone drive. This gives the designer high quality sound from a PC power supply, as shown above. The TPA302 is available in 8-pin SOIC.
